Princess Beatrice, 31, was expected to hold a reception in the grounds of Buckingham Palace following after getting engaged to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2019.
The granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II is said to be “very sad” about the decision but feels there was “no alternative” as the coronavirus outbreak grips the UK. But royal expert Angela Mollard appeared to let slip that she thinks Beatrice may “never” get married following repeated issues with her wedding announcements.
Speaking on New Idea’s ROYALS podcast, Ms Mollard said: “Princess Eugenie, you remember her? She’s the one who got married to Jack Brooksbank.
“Obviously her sister is the poor royal bride who is never going to get married it seems.
“Eugenie is living with her mum, Fergie. Sarah Ferguson.
“They’re at the royal lodge together.
“We know this because on Friday we found out the Duchess of York was handing out treats to NHS workers.
“She has a friend who runs a German confectionery company and she had this big delivery of confectionaries.
“They’re putting together these care packages for doctors and staff at London hospitals, driving them to the hospitals and dropping them off.
“In the packages, they’ve got toothpaste, soap, dry pasta, cereal and tinned fruit.”
If Beatrice was to go ahead with her wedding this year she will only be able to have two guests at her wedding if the coronavirus crisis continues.
The Church of England has said the number of people attending church weddings during the outbreak should be limited to the legal minimum of five – the priest, the bride and groom and two witnesses.
Royal expert Omid Scobie believes Beatrice’s next wedding date will be in 2021,
Speaking on ABC News’s HeirPod, Mr Scobie said: “We heard before that the Queen was hosting a reception at Buckingham Palace in the gardens, that’s no longer taking place.
