Princess Eugenie spotted for first time in months at super posh wedding

 


Princess Eugenie Resurfaces in Sicily for Star-Studded Italian Wedding

After maintaining a private profile for several months, Princess Eugenie was spotted this past weekend attending the high-society wedding of hotel tycoon Charles Forte and handbag designer Georgie Wright.   The celebration, held on Saturday, April 25, 2026, took place at the historic Cathedral of Monreale in Palermo, Sicily.

A Rare Public Appearance

This sighting marks the first time the Princess has been seen at a public event since late February.   In recent months, both Eugenie and her sister, Princess Beatrice, have notably stepped back from the royal spotlight following the significant legal developments surrounding their father.

  • The Look: Guests captured the Princess in the background of social media photos, where she appeared relaxed and elegant in a black gown with fringe detailing.

  • The Setting: The reception was hosted at the Villa Igiea, a world-renowned hotel owned by the groom’s father, Sir Rocco Forte.


Strong Ties to the Forte Family

Eugenie’s attendance highlights a long-standing friendship with the Forte dynasty.   She was previously a guest at Irene Forte’s wedding in 2021, and the families have remained close social allies for years. The guest list for this weekend's "super posh" nuptials featured over 350 attendees, including socialites like Lady Lola Bute and Tish Weinstock.

Navigating a Quiet Year

While the rest of the Royal Family has been busy—with King Charles completing a landmark state visit to the U.S. and Prince William and Catherine celebrating their 15th anniversary—the York sisters have been keeping a low profile.

  • Recent Absences: The sisters were not present at the Royal Family’s Easter service earlier this month or the recent centenary celebrations for the late Queen Elizabeth II.

  • Professional Focus: Despite her absence from royal duties, Eugenie has continued her work as a director at the gallery Hauser & Wirth, recently attending events in Doha, Qatar.

The appearance in Sicily suggests that while she may be taking a hiatus from official royal appearances, the Princess is still very much a fixture in her international social circle.
