A royal wedding reportedly exposed some lingering family distance. According to insiders, Prince William and Kate Middleton had minimal interaction with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie during Peter Phillips\u2019 wedding to Harriet Sperling. The celebration brought several members of the royal family together over the weekend. However, sources claim the Waleses made little effort to engage with the York sisters.<\/p>\n
Prince William and Kate Middleton kept their distance with other royals, claims source<\/p>\n
Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling\u2019s wedding guest list itself attracted attention because several prominent royals were absent. According to one insider, the gathering was never intended to be a full-scale family reunion.<\/p>\n
However, sources claim Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were among the guests largely because King Charles and Princess Anne wanted them there. One insider alleged that both senior royals \u201chave always had a soft spot\u201d for ex-Prince Andrew\u2019s daughters. As such, they felt it was important for them to attend Peter\u2019s special day (via Naughty But Nice<\/a>).<\/p>\n What reportedly stood out to observers, however, was the interaction, or lack thereof, between William, Kate, and the two sisters. One source alleged that while the Prince and Princess of Wales<\/a> remained courteous, they appeared to keep their distance throughout the wedding.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was no effort to mingle,\u201d an insider claimed. The source further alleged that there were no meaningful catch-up conversations or attempts to create a larger \u201cfamily moment\u201d during the wedding festivities. According to the same account, William briefly greeted Beatrice upon arrival before moving on.<\/p>\n Another insider claimed that the Waleses were \u201cnot seeking out\u201d Beatrice or Eugenie during the celebration. What\u2019s more, the source further alleged \u201cthey certainly weren\u2019t interested in being photographed with them.\u201d<\/p>\n Perhaps the most striking claim came from an insider who suggested William would have preferred a different guest list. \u201cIf it had been entirely William\u2019s decision, they wouldn\u2019t have been there,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Zahrah Patel on Reality Tea<\/a><\/p>\n The post Kate Middleton & Prince William\u2019s Actions at Wedding Raised Eyebrows \u2014 Insider<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A royal wedding reportedly exposed some lingering family distance.
