Prince Andrew made a 'rude comment' about Prince Harry before Eugenie's wedding

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got married back in 2018, it wasn't the only royal wedding that year.

Just five months later, Harry's cousin Princess Eugenie tied the knot with Jack Brooksbank, and the service also took place at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.

Both Harry and Eugenie's wedding were broadcast live on TV with Eugenie and Jack's being shown on ITV show This Morning.

Before his daughter's big day, Prince Andrew was interviewed on This Morning and talked about how Eugenie's wedding would be different from his nephew Harry's.

But viewers accused him of making a rude and awkward comment when it came to the number of guests invited to both ceremonies after Eugenie and Jack invited 850 guests compared to Harry and Meghan's 600.

Andrew said: "It will NOT be the same as the previous one that was held in May. This is not a public wedding, this is meant to be a family wedding.

"There'll be a few more people than most people have. There are a few more than Harry had, but that's just the nature of Eugenie and Jack - they've got so many friends that they need a church of that size to fit them all in."

At the time, one Twitter user said of the weddings: "So seems like a competition for him."

Another wrote: "Throwing some shade there Duke" while one commented: "Hum! So Harry have (sic) not got so many friends."

While another said that he was "throwing shade all over the place".

However, Eugenie's wedding was certainly a day to remember, with a celebrity guest list, a stunning wedding dress and a decent amount of social media ban rule-breaking by the guests.

The bride and groom couldn't have looked more in love, beaming throughout the public part of the day - but a lip reader revealed Eugenie wasn't entirely happy about one thing her new husband did on the day.

When they were sitting side-by-side in St George's Chapel listening to readings, Eugenie jokingly said to her new husband: "Why aren't you holding my hand?"

The lipreader also revealed that the royal bride initiated the couple's tentative smooches outside the chapel, saying "let's kiss" in front of the cameras.
