Weird flex?

So as we all know by now, the gorgeous Princess Beatrice is engaged to be married.

The news was announced yesterday that the Queen’s Granddaughter will marry Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

An official statement from Buckingham Palace said the Duke and Duchess of York were “delighted” to confirm the news. They said that the couple got engaged during a weekend break in Italy in early September.

The wedding will take place in 2020, with more details to be announced “in due course”.

Following the news of their engagement, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo said:

“We are extremely happy to be able to share the news of our recent engagement. We are both so excited to be embarking on this life adventure together, and can’t wait to be married.

“We share so many similar interests and values and we know this will stand us in great stead for the years ahead, full of love and happiness.”

All very exciting.

However, not everyone is delighted by the engagement news.

Some fans of Meghan Markle are pretty annoyed by the timing of the announcement – which coincides with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s royal tour in Africa.

Interesting.

One person tweeted: “Convenient for Beatrice to announce her engagement while Harry and Meghan are on tour. Great timing I must say.”

Another added: “Remember after the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, later on they announce the wedding of Eugenie. Lol… now after Baby Archie’s first appearance they announce this upcoming wedding.”
