The ex-Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor‘s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, have reportedly faced another snub amid ongoing controversies surrounding the Windsors. The royal family is set to host a service at Buckingham Palace in honor of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s centenary. The event would mark what would have been her 100th birthday. Sources claim that the daughters of Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have not received invitations, as their presence could draw attention away from the late Queen and shift the focus onto them instead.
Ex-Prince Andrew’s daughters snubbed from late Queen Elizabeth’s birthday celebrations, per expert
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor‘s daughters have reportedly been snubbed from the late Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday celebrations. The royal family is all set to celebrate what would have been her 100th birthday. However, a report by the Daily Mail suggests that Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have not received invitations for the same.
As per royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, the decision not to invite them to the service, along with the late Queen’s extended family, was “unfortunately” due to concerns about certain members drawing attention away from the occasion.
He said, “Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are being snubbed as attention on this anniversary must be on one person.”
For Prince Philip’s 100th birthday, all his grandchildren, even those who were not working royals, took part in a documentary tribute released after his death. A similar tribute also took place for the late Queen Elizabeth II. However, the difference this time is that only Peter Phillips appeared in the programme.
The royal expert notes that the upcoming service for the late monarch could have involved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. However, due to recent controversies, some royal family members may not have been invited, as the attention they attract could risk overshadowing the significance of the commemoration.
As of now, it remains unclear who will be attending the reception at Buckingham Palace. However, the report suggests that not all of the late Queen’s children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will be included in the celebrations.
