Prince William just performed a very telling gesture towards Princess Beatrice and the media is not happy. Not only because past reports alleged he was ‘distrustful’ of the York sisters who refused an audit into their personal finances despite emails with Jeffrey Epstein showing their father demand thousands of pounds into their personal accounts.

Peter Phillips wedding though was where it all came to roost and prompted Toms Sykes to turn to his Substack and make a pretty damning claim.

He said in his piece, he did make one thing clear and its that the kiss on the cheek to Beatrice was “a carefully judged symbol,” showing “more that he is a good company man” than “any great fondness for Beatrice.”

The expert even pointed out the subtleties of his decision to choose Beatrice and not her sister for his public show of support that the media is portraying it to be.

Because “she lived in Frogmore Cottage. She went out to California to visit Harry and Meghan. Harry and Meghan were, of course, notably absent from Peter and Harriet’s wedding, but I would say they will be greatly encouraged by Harry’s father’s conciliatory attitude and willingness to go against public opinion yesterday.”
