Princess Eugenie, Jack Brooksbank’s Royal Wedding Will Be Televised For This Reason

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s royal wedding will most likely be televised, according to Marlene Koenig, a royal commentator for Royal Central.

During a recent interview, Keonig said that there is a royal precedent for marriages of royal cousins to be broadcasted on national television. “I will be surprised if the wedding is not televised. The Duke of Kent’s wedding in 1961 was televised, as was Princess Alexandra’s in 1963,” Koenig said (via Express).

However, Princess Eugenie and Brooksbank’s royal wedding won’t receive coverage across the globe like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials because it lacks international interest.

“Prince Edward’s wedding in 1999 was not picked up by the US networks but was shown on BBC America. I kept saying that NBC was making plans to be in Windsor so they knew something so I was not worried about Harry’s wedding. The official announcement of a broadcast was not long before the actual wedding,” Koenig explained.

In June, Omid Scobie, a royal expert, said that he thinks Princess Eugenie and Brooksbank’s wedding will receive attention from the major networks.

“Looking back at some of the smaller royal weddings, they don’t normally get televised; however, there is a lot of interest in Eugenie’s wedding. I think the fact that we had billions of people watching Harry and Meghan’s wedding this time around showed just how much interest there will be,” Scobie said.

On the contrary, Grant Harrold, a former royal butler, told Express that Princess Eugenie’s wedding won’t be televised.

“This wedding will probably be a private affair similar to Princess Anne’s second wedding as well as Princess Anne’s children’s weddings. Not all royal weddings are televised and on this occasion, I don’t think it will be,” he said.

However, the palace just announced that the royal couple invited 1,200 members of the public to their nuptials making their big day not very private after all.
