Prince Andrew’s interview happened over a week ago but the royal has suffered a tremendous amount of unpleasant consequences since then. It’s been announced that the Queen’s middle son is stepping down from his royal duties amid the aftermath of his candid chat.
But it will affect not only himself but Prince Andrew’s daughters as well. It’s believed that Princess Beatrice’s wedding plans might change because of her father’s disastrous actions.
However, as it turns out, the bride-to-be was actually the one who organized the interview that led to her dad’s public demise.
According to Daily Mail, Prince Andrew's daughter Beatrice was one of the people who pushed the royal to have a Newsnight interview.
It’s believed that Beatrice organized the whole thing and had a meeting with the program’s presenter and deputy editor three days before filming.
An insider said:
Initially, Beatrice was skeptical that a television interview, which would inevitably delve into her father's private life, was such a good idea. But by the end of the meeting, she was convinced by the Newsnight team and Amanda Thirsk that they had no choice – that it was the only way to put all the rumors behind them.
Prince Andrew’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein was hard to deny but the York family believed the interview will help to clear the Duke’s name. But it didn’t happen as they planned.
It’s believed that Beatrice is now mortified that she didn’t listen to her first instincts and didn’t stop the interview, which now puts her and her younger sister in a difficult position as they might not be working princesses in the future.
It was said:
She seemed quite tearful at times. In fact, Beatrice has been in tears every day since the interview went out.
It’s thought that the interview created such a massive backlash that Beatrice and her fiancé, Edo, are considering spending the next few months in the US. They might even postpone the wedding if the situation won’t change in the near future.
