Princess Beatrice has been depicted in a new royal series requesting Prince Andrew move away while her wedding photos were being taken.
When Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in July 2020, the official wedding pictures only showed the newlyweds, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
The bride’s parents, the Duke and Duchess of York, were not included in the official wedding pictures.
This was because the royal wedding occurred just eight months after Prince Andrew’s career-ending Newsnight interview, where he discussed his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

However, plans were later changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was held on July 17 in a tiny service at the All Saints Chapel in Windsor.
