Inside the bitter crisis tearing the palace apart.
Their long-held jealousies and ongoing feuds are public knowledge, but never before has Buckingham Palace seen such a tense showdown between the next generation of royal leaders.
All signs are pointing to loved-up Prince Harry officially announcing an engagement to his girlfriend Meghan Markle any day now. But on the eve of what should be a momentous occasion for the entire British royal family – and with Pippa Middleton’s wedding taking place this weekend – Woman’s Day has learnt palace aides are frantically trying to broker peace between young royals caught up in a new bitter rivalry – a race to the altar.
For most families, weddings are joyous events that bring people together, but tension over who’ll be the next to walk down the aisle in 2017 – and who’ll have the biggest and best wedding – has become so toxic it’s tearing the House of Windsor apart. And with frantic dress fittings, squabbles over guest lists and fierce competition for priceless jewels, the battle to have the most dazzling royal wedding of the year is getting vicious.
We’re told that at the centre of the rift is Princess Eugenie’s deep resentment that, as she prepares to announce her engagement to long-time partner Jack Brooksbank, she’s likely to have the limelight stolen by her cousin Harry and Meghan.
