Princess Eugenie's wedding snubbed by broadcaster

St George’s Chapel in Windsor is about to host its second royal wedding in less than six months, but unlike Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s big day, we may not be watching Princess Eugenie say ‘I do’ in the same way.

The BBC aired Harry and Meghan’s May nuptials with a special event live broadcast. In Australia, most of the major TV networks also aired the ceremony and arrivals – but it’s looking like that will not be the case for Prince Harry’s cousin Eugenie.

Reports are circulating that the BBC has rejected pleas from her father Prince Andrew, to broadcast the day, and apparently cited that a lack of public interest would make the wedding a rating flop.

“The BBC was approached because they have a special relationship with Buckingham Palace and a formula that works,” an unnamed source told the Mail on Sunday.

“But they turned it down because they don’t think enough people will tune in and that there isn’t enough support for the Yorks.”

They added that despite the royal family’s biggest names – and a whole lot of high profile celebrities – being on the guest list, “nobody wants to take the risk and spend the money it would cost to put it on air.”

The palace has yet to make an official comment on whether the wedding will be televised, but as Eugenie is set to walk down the aisle in less than a month’s time, we’re hoping for an announcement soon.
