Prince William appeared to dismiss months of 'royal exile' speculation about Princess Beatrice's standing within the royal family on Saturday after the pair were seen sharing an affectionate greeting at the wedding of Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling in Kemble.
Photographs from the event showed the Prince of Wales embracing his cousin and exchanging a kiss on the cheek as guests gathered despite wet weather, offering a rare public display of family unity amid continuing scrutiny surrounding Beatrice's branch of the royal household.
