Princess Beatrice Postponed Her Engagement Party Because She Was Afraid Photographers Would Swarm Her Dad

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that not everything in Prince Andrew’s life is a shit show at the moment. Sure, most of it is. I bet Andrew wakes up every morning to the sound of a text alert from Prince Charles that reads, “You better hope the press catches Anne doing something cute today, you stupid shite.” Of course, it’s not all bad, his daughter Princess Beatrice is getting married. But Andrew’s drama has already managed to stink that up too. And he continues to be the reason Princess Beatrice probably wishes she could just elope at the courthouse in secret.

That’s not to say Bea’s engagement is drama-free. We all know that her fiancé Edoardo Mapeli Mozzi allegedly dumped his first fiancée (and also the mother of his child) for Bea. But the latest drama has to do with Bea’s dad.

The Daily Mail says that Princess Beatrice and Edoardo had planned to celebrate with friends and family at the Chiltern Firehouse in London on December 18th. I guess the Pizza Express in Woking was booked that night? They sent out invitations, but they had second thoughts once they realized they picked a venue that wasn’t very private. And that’s bad when your dad is currently being side-eyed by the general public for his relationship to Jeffrey Epstein, and the allegations that have been made against him by Virginia Giuffre. Bea was nervous about all the paparazzi that might be lurking outside, hoping to snap pics of her dad.

And so she cancelled the party on the 18th, and has changed it to an unknown date, in an attempt to sneak in her dad with as little photographers present as possible. I don’t know what she’s so worried about. Who cares if there are pictures of Prince Andrew? He can always claim that’s not actually him in the pictures. Or that he doesn’t remember being there. Or that he’s never been to a firehouse, due to an unfortunate, traumatic incident in which a dalmatian once leaped off the truck, and aggressively humped his leg.

I’m sure this rescheduling drama is annoying for everyone involved, but there’s one person in particular who is probably really pissed. No, not the caterers, or the chair rental people, or whoever Sarah Ferguson hired to make her tacky engagement party hat. It’s Princess Eugenie. Imagine being upset that every photographer in London wanted to be front and center at your party? Eugenie would have killed for that kind of press coverage!
