Basically, if Andrew shows up, Prince William will refuse to attend, which will make things complicated for Prince Charles. It\u2019s a whole thing!<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">King Charles is said to be \u201cdelighted\u201d by his niece\u2019s news, but \u201cWilliam will not be in the same room as Andrew. Not for this, not for anything. If Andrew is there, William won\u2019t be. It\u2019s that clear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">However, Wills might not have much to worry about, because a source told the <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.com\/news\/royals\/article-15473609\/Princess-Eugenie-cut-contact-father-Epstein-scandal.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.com\/news\/royals\/article-15473609\/Princess-Eugenie-cut-contact-father-Epstein-scandal.html\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Daily Mail \" data-node-id=\"6.1\" class=\"body-link css-ohbdae emevuu60\">Daily Mail <\/a>that Eugenie has effectively cut her dad off. \u201cThere is no contact at all, nothing. It&#8217;s Brooklyn Beckham level, she has completely cut him off,\u201d they said, adding that \u201cBeatrice is trying to walk the fine line of not cutting her father off and yet remaining close with the Royal Family. They aren&#8217;t exactly in regular and close contact at the moment, but Eugenie isn&#8217;t trying to walk that line. She&#8217;s not speaking to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Meanwhile, Eugenie\u2019s mom Sarah Ferguson might not attend because \u201cShe\u2019s extremely cautious about returning right now. There are concerns about potential legal exposure, and she\u2019s not taking risks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Related Story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank just announced that they\u2019re expecting their third child, happy news that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":946159,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[223518,1380,264142,1331,258961,1381,226342,5105,7710,519,448,264141,225931],"class_list":{"0":"post-946158","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-collection-royal-family","9":"tag-content-type-news","10":"tag-contentid-9067ffe1-9f69-404e-a914-6d4253e812df","11":"tag-displaytype-standard-article","12":"tag-issyndicated-false","13":"tag-locale-us","14":"tag-read_time-2","15":"tag-royal","16":"tag-royal-families","17":"tag-royal-family","18":"tag-royals","19":"tag-shorttitle-a-royal-christening-is-creating-fresh-drama","20":"tag-subsection-celebs"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/946158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=946158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/946158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/946159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=946158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=946158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=946158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
