Prince William has seemingly made a clear distinction between his dislike for uncle Andrew and relationship with his daughters.

The Prince of Wales, who gave heartwarming greetings to cousin, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie at Peter Phillips’ wedding, made his feelings evident about the York family.

Speaking about the sisters, expert Jennie Bond told the Mirror : “I think there’s an interesting comparison to be made between the way William greeted his cousins at the wedding and his obvious contempt for their father at the Duchess of Kent‘s funeral.

“William does sometimes seem to wear his heart on his sleeve, so I think we can conclude that he doesn’t hold Beatrice and Eugenie responsible in any way for their parents’ sins.

She added: “He knew the cameras were there, and he made a point of greeting them warmly. It must have been quite emotional for the princesses, who were already braving the lion in the den by appearing at such a high-profile event.”
