Princess Beatrice is, reportedly, going to make a baby announcement soon and bookies are confident this will happen before the year ends so they've raised the odds of the royal getting pregnant at 2/1.
A spokesperson for My Betting Sites confirmed with Tatler that the betting odds for Princess Beatrice's pregnancy have reached new stakes, especially after her secret wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. The spokesperson also speculated that she might even beat her sister, Princess Eugenie, in announcing the pregnancy.
Princess Eugenie has been married to Jack Brooksbank nearly two years before Princess Beatrice. As much as she is the favorite of bettors to have the next royal baby, more signs point to her newly-married older sister as more likely to welcome a new addition in the family soon.
Princess Beatrice and her new husband Edo had a very private wedding ceremony around noon, Friday, July 17, at Windsor Castle with only about 20 guests. The couple had no less than Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip witness her wedding, and even wore two hand-me-downs from her grandmother -- her wedding dress and tiara.
Royal commentator Jennie Bond said that Queen Elizabeth has a truly special relationship with Princess Beatrice if Her Majesty came out of her COVID-19 isolation just to be there on this special day. Moreso, The Queen apparently saved her wedding tiara for her beloved granddaughter, which was the very same jewelry she wore when she got married to Prince Philip in 1947. The only other person to wear the tiara was Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth's only daughter, for her 1973 wedding.
To ensure the safety and health of the Queen and Prince Philip, Princess Beatrice apparently isolated at the Royal Lodge, the home of her father, Prince Andrew, in the Windsor estate, a few weeks prior to the wedding. Though her father was not seen in the wedding photos, sources confirmed that he was able to walk his eldest daughter down the aisle.
Similarly, in a gesture of support, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York and Princess Beatrice's mother, also didn't have her photos from the wedding publicly released. Reports stated that the parents didn't want to disrupt and take the attention away from Princess Beatrice and Edo's big wedding day.
Critics will likely still have something to say against Prince Andrew because of his controversy. Thus, sources at the palace said Prince Andrew and Sarah's omission from the wedding photos was deliberate.
