Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should have returned in the U.K. by now to reunite with the royal family. The couple was supposed to be spending time with Queen Elizabeth and the rest of royals to celebrate the wedding of Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
The royal wedding was supposed to take place on May 29 at the St. James Palace, with a garden reception at Buckingham Palace. However, Princess Beatrice and Edo decided to postpone their big event in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The couple has yet to reveal their new wedding date but it won't likely happen in the near future since mass gatherings are not yet permitted in the U.K.
Prince Harry has a great relationship with his cousin Princess Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie. He and Prince William are, reportedly, close to the Yorks and they attended several royal events together while growing up.
Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie, both the second-born in their family, have been described as partners-in-crime. Both have a cheeky sense of humor and can't hold their giggles during solemn events when they were children.
Reports, however, suggested that Prince Harry's relationship with his cousins has been affected when he stepped back from his royal duties. Some royal observers speculate that Prince Harry and Meghan took a jab at Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie when they reasoned that there are members of the royal family who can earn a private income while not expected to perform royal roles for the Queen.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are not working royals. They are not supported by the sovereign, unlike Prince Harry and Meghan. Thus, the York sisters can carry on and pursue their own work while Prince Harry and Meghan's every move have to be in accordance to the monarch's wishes.
Princess Beatrice is tied to a tech firm from the U.S. while Princess Eugenie is an art house director. They also have charities to support but they have not been asked to represent the Queen at royal events, unlike Prince Harry and Meghan.
Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice will likely need her family by her side this week because of the canceled wedding. But the lockdown will make it harder on this royal family because Princess Beatrice is not isolating with her kin.
The York royal is staying at her future mother-in-law's home. Princess Beatrice's mom, Sarah Ferguson, said that she misses her daughter, whom she has not seen since the lockdown.
