Princess Beatrice's Royal Wedding: Everything We Know So Far
The date. When the engagement was announced, the palace simply said the wedding would take place in 2020. But People is now reporting it will take place on May 29.
The location. The couple has not announced where the ceremony will be held, but some have suggested the Royal Military Chapel in London, which is near Buckingham Palace. Eugenie famously got married in Windsor, in the same church as Markle and Harry.
The reception. While the royals have not made an official announcement, it’s been reported that the queen has offered to let Princess Beatrice have her post-wedding festivities at Buckingham Palace. This would be the first wedding reception held there since Prince William and Kate Middleton’s nuptials in 2011. “Bea was delighted and very grateful to accept. It was a really special gesture as it will be the first wedding celebration at Buckingham Palace since William and Catherine’s in 2011,” a source told The Daily Mail.
Prince Andrew’s role. This is where things could get complicated. Andrew was forced to step back from his role in the royal family after a disastrous interview he gave about his friendship with Epstein. He did not attend his daughter’s engagement party in December, according to People. But the magazine reports he will still likely play a major role in Beatrice’s big day. “I definitely think he will walk her down the aisle,” their source said. “He plays a very traditional role in her life. She’s his greatest supporter.”
“This is obviously very hard times,” the source continued. “Beatrice would never do anything to be hurtful to her father. He’s going to be by her side, and she’s going to be by his.”
