o Edo. Beatrice becomes the first ‘blood princess’ – as her father Andrew calls his two daughters – to become a stepmother. A friend said: ‘Bea is totally into the stepmum role.
She’s very concerned about getting it right and making every effort to be a second mother
From the start, there was speculation the two would opt for a low-key wedding ‘in the back garden’, in part to quell the disquiet over the taxpayer-footed bill for the security surrounding Eugenie’s lavish nuptials and growing concern over Andrew’s relationship with the late Jeffrey Epstein.
Before the wedding festivities, Krasinski’s wife Emily Blunt had a go at opening the show doing her best Krasinski impression, American accent and all, but lasted less than a minute before Krasinski kicked her out of his presenter’s seat.
There may, too, have been other sensible reasons for caution. Questions had been raised over the timing of the start of their relationship – Edo had been living with his fiancée, Chinese-American architect Dara Huang, the mother of his son. But any suggestion that Beatrice had caused the split were denied.
And while no one could deny her wish to be married, the idea of replicating the full bells-and-whistles affair her younger sister Eugenie enjoyed two years ago at St George’s Chapel would have been to risk a PR disaster.
The beautiful story that is John Krasinski’s Some Good News YouTube show has come full circle. Like the positive news show’s inaugural episode, episode 7 brought us another The Office reunion, this time featuring absolutely everyone — from Steve Carell to Jenna Fischer to Mindy Kaling.

Bea has always been really close to Edo’s family, so it’s natural that Wolfie should become part of hers. He’s a super little boy and extremely cute. It will be interesting to see what happens when they start their own family – but Bea is so caring, his happiness will always be her number one

In spite of all this, she keeps calm and carries on – a quality admired by the Queen who could not have given her granddaughter a greater seal of approval than loaning her a dress and a treasured tiara.
The virtual get together came about in celebration of Maryland couple Susan and John’s Zoom wedding, hosted by the newly ordained Krasinski. John proposed to Susan by recreating Jim’s bent knee to Pam outside a petrol station in The Office.
After all, Princess Eugenie’s 2018 wedding to Jack Brooksbank was a dazzling blend of pomp, pageantry and showbiz with Robbie Williams chewing gum behind the Queen while actress Demi Moore and model Kate Moss were among those filling the pews.
But Andrew’s future public role in the Royal Family has become academic in view of him stepping down as UK trade envoy, being named in legal papers during the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, the closure of the Prince Andrew Charitable Trust, his disastrous Newsnight interview and his withdrawal from public life.

Inevitably, this led to tension between him and Andrew, who was very concerned that his daughters – the only two ‘blood princesses’ of their generation, he often stressed – might be deemed surplus to requirements and rudely sidelined.
In the beginning, this was perhaps for good reason. Edo and Beatrice’s families have been close for decades, party planning moving in similar circles. Indeed, Beatrice has spoken of their ‘similar interests and values’.

I was devastated when the local saddle maker, a man called Ken Langford, told me it was beyond repair, but when he suggested I take it home, take it apart and at least learn from it, I did. That was it; my lifelong passion for saddles and tack was born. To me, saddles are both pieces of art and engineering, and are practical and beautiful at the
To take the homage to the next level, Krasinski brought Jenna Fischer in as maid of honor (10:10), along with “some of my family.” After he married the couple, the cast of the Office then showed up to dance to Forever by Chris Brown.
