A right Royal scandal is blowing up over the £2 million security costs for Princess Eugenie’s overly ostentatious wedding on October 12th, at Harry and Meghan’s venue, in Windsor chapel. There will be Royals galore attending plus handfuls of A-list celebs. According to the Daily Mail (where else) it was Prince Andrew’s insistence that she had as big a splash. Though since she’s 9th in line to the throne and not involved in public duties, it’s hardly comparable. She’s marrying Jack Brooksbank, a tequila brand ambassador for George Clooney’s favourite tipple.
The wedding day chart looks tense with a Sun square Pluto; and fairly explosive with Uranus opposition Mercury Venus square North Node opposition Mars in place.
Born 23 March 1990 6.58 pm London, she has a T square of Uranus opposition Jupiter square Sun Mercury in Aries – adventurous, lucky, fairly ego-centric. She has a party-loving and showy 5th house Venus Moon in Aquarius square a compulsive-spender Pluto in the 2nd connected to her possessive mother; with a troubled home-life and experience of her father with Neptune Saturn in Capricorn as well as Mars in her 4th.
She looks fraught at the moment with tr Pluto conjunct her Sun/Neptune midpoint, which tends to bring depression, returning in November. Running into the wedding, as to be expected, and on the day itself she has tr Uranus square her Mars/Saturn midpoint which is extreme nervous tension with hints of physical stress or accidents. And a lucky, relieved tr Uranus sextile her Jupiter. Her Solar Arc Saturn is conjunct her Moon in 7 months’ time and tr Pluto will be in a tough-slog conjunction to her Saturn in 2019/2020 which may be family/mother worries – so not much of a honeymoon period.
Her relationship chart with Jack, 3 May 1986, does have an overly expansive Jupiter opposition Pluto, which does suggest a touch too much push for attention and not enough humility. It’s fairly argumentative and will be pressured for the next few years or so with tr Pluto square the composite Sun and then conjunct Mars in the early 2020s.
When Zara Tindall, Princess Anne’s daughter was married, she had a quiet do in Scotland. Prince Andrew has filled his daughters’ heads with his self-importance. Eugenie and Beatrice recently did a Vogue interview about how difficult it was to be a princess and lead a normal working life, which was not well received in the comment-sphere. Their constant holidaying, paparazzi-drenched social life and frequent absences from their supposed day jobs doesn’t suggest they understand what working discipline means.
“When Zara Tindall, Princess Anne’s daughter was married, she had a quiet do in Scotland.”
Was this in the story? Didn’t see it, but it’s astonishing to see how many of the royal stories on British Tabloids depict Princess Anne’s family in a perfect light. Princess Anne is the most hardworking royal, wears the same dresses since 1978, her children are leading a normal life… It’s like she and her children can do no wrong. Yet, she was the first one of her siblings divorcing, after having an affair. Her daughter had a good career in equestrian sports, but it’s a “rich people sport”, you have to start spending hundreds of thousands of your own or sponsor money a year by the time you are a young teen if you dream to win an Olympic Medal by the time you’re in your 20’s. Her son has worked in F1 hospitability and sponsorship for midtier teams, basicly meanining he is there to attend events and shake hands with rich Arabs, hardly a “real job” requiring showing up at the office every morning. So, hardly doing anything particularly noteworthy here.
My “kind” conclusion on how every little misstep of other members of Royal Family gets reported, but “Annes” are off limit is that she must have one heck of a PR person to manage her reputation. My less kind version is that the said PR person feeds press with unkind stories on other Royalties to keep her out of headlines.
Wrong, I’m afraid. Andrew is unpopular with the British public for many good reasons. Not everyone in the uk forms their opinions based on the reporting in the Daily Heil you know.
People are always so vile to Beatrice and Eugenie. We always know how accurate the Daily Mail is and people seem to forget that Peter Phillips’s marriage had a similar coach ride through Windsor (I think that Hello was the rights to that wedding to universal furore). Who knows perhaps somebody from another royal household leaked this story to take some pressure of Meghan and her charming relatives? Eugenie and Jack seemed to genuinely adore one another during their short engagement interview.
Court of vipers. I remember the time the press was pitching Diana against Sarah. We now know it was largely something staff alimented. They did get along, and their children gets along.
Princess Eugene is a Born Princess. She is not following Megan in anything. There gave been plenty Royals that have had the wedding the same way. Megan is Not a Princess !!!!
Give the girl a break. Her parents are paying for the wedding itself and she is the Queen’s grand-daughter. So the bride will actually be a blood royal – not a wannabe princess commoner like the usual bunch.
Meghan has much more class than the scrounging Yorks imho.
Hmmm, bigotted today aren;t we? There’s another on the website who touts his blue blood lines back to the American revolution.
As for me, I’m stuck with merely being a bastard Habsburg and of Italian royalty.
Worth mentioning perhaps that on their wedding day Venus will be retrograde. A good friend of mine married during a Venus retro. Gorgeous wedding, beautiful reception. Bride and groom were the very picture of bliss. Three years later it was over.
Excellent point Julie, Venus retro is beyond appearances of external happiness. The lesson will have to be learnt during the next Venus retro once more (May 2020)…
