Princess Beatrice stepped into a major royal family gathering on June 6 as she attended cousin Peter Phillips’ wedding in Kemble, England. The 37-year-old princess arrived with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, while sister Princess Eugenie came with Jack Brooksbank. Outside All Saints’ Church, Prince William greeted Beatrice with a kiss on the cheek, a friendly exchange that quickly stood out. According to People, the occasion marked one of the first big family appearances for Beatrice and Eugenie since renewed scrutiny around their parents placed fresh pressure on the York side of the family.
Zara Tindall Greets Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi
The warm welcome did not stop with William and Beatrice. Zara Tindall, sister of the groom, was also seen greeting Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. The affectionate exchanges suggested a relaxed family atmosphere as guests gathered for Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling’s ceremony. Beatrice and Eugenie attended without their parents, former Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. Their presence still carried weight, though, because the sisters remain part of the royal fold and continue to appear at important family occasions despite the turmoil surrounding Andrew.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie Keep Titles
Beatrice and Eugenie’s status has not changed, even after the fallout tied to their parents. As reported by People Magazine, the sisters retain their princess titles and HRH styling under the 1917 Letters Patent issued by King George V. That detail has mattered as questions continue around where they stand within the monarchy. The sisters also spent Christmas with King Charles and other senior relatives at Sandringham, signaling continued family ties. Their appearance at Peter Phillips’ wedding added another public sign that they remain included in key royal moments.
Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson Stay Away
The absence of Andrew and Ferguson was notable. The pair were stripped of royal titles and privileges in October 2025, and Andrew was later arrested in February 2026 on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He has denied wrongdoing related to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Their nonattendance at the wedding avoided shifting focus from the bride and groom. A friend of the couple told Hello! that "it was probably not deemed appropriate to invite" them. "It’s Peter and Harriet’s special day, and clearly their attendance would cause a distraction to the whole day," the friend told Hello!
Peter Phillips Wedding Brings Royals Together
The gathering brought several branches of the royal family together, with Beatrice and Eugenie taking part in a public reunion that carried extra significance. Their appearance came after months of reports that they were trying to keep distance from the scandal around their father while focusing on their own young families. William’s greeting to Beatrice, along with Zara’s embrace of Edoardo, offered a clear image of family connection at a delicate time. In a royal setting often read for signals, those small moments landed with real meaning.
