Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie get nod of approval from Prince William

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie turned heads earlier this morning when they attended their cousin, Peter Phillips’ Royal wedding.

The York sisters who made a surprise appearance at the nuns of Princess Anne’s son, also received a nod of approval from eldest cousin and future king, Prince William.

Expert Alicia Liberty writes for Express: “The sisters did not just attend. They were right at the heart of proceedings. And that matters”

“For months there has been endless speculation about whether Andrew Mountbatten - Windsor’s daughters fit within the modern monarchy. Are they in? Are they out?

She added: “Yet while they may not hold official royal roles, what Peter and Harriet’s wedding demonstrated is that there is a world of difference between being outside the Firm and being outside the family. Beatrice and Eugenie remain firmly embedded within the royal circle.

“Prince William was snapped warmly greeting his cousin with a sweet kiss on the cheek - a candid family moment that spoke volumes. There were no awkward optics. No carefully choreographed distancing. No sign whatsoever of a family attempting to keep them at arm’s length,” the expert further spoke of Prince William.
