The Duke Is Set To Attend His Granddaughters Wedding.

Prince Philip's Change Of Heart

As far as royal weddings go, the lead-up to this one has been far from smooth sailing, so you can’t blame Princess Eugenie if she’s suffering from some last-minute meltdowns.

It hasn’t helped that a petition has been circulating demanding that taxpayers shouldn’t have to fork out millions of dollars to pay for security for the event, and that the BBC didn’t want to televise the wedding because it thought very few would watch.

But with her nuptials just days away, the bride at least has the consolation of knowing that one issue which could have cast a shadow over her big day has been resolved.

Her grandfather, Prince Philip, will be attending the ceremony and pose for family photos, despite earlier reports that he would stay away because he can’t stand Eugenie’s mother, Sarah, Duchess of York. But thankfully, it seems he loves his granddaughter more and so will be there for her special day.

Philip (97) has refused to talk to his former daughter-in-law since photos emerged of Fergie sunbathing topless and having her toes sucked by her financial manager John Bryan in 1992.

When Eugenie’s engagement to long-term boyfriend Jack Brooksbank (32) was announced this year, palace insiders said there was no way Philip would want to be in the same room as Fergie, and would likely be a no-show at the wedding.

Of course they were both at the wedding of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle in May, but Fergie (58) wisely stayed in the background and out of the Duke of Edinburgh’s way. However this time, as mother of the bride, she will be part of the official wedding party and will have to cross paths with Philip, even if it’s just for the traditional photos.
