Coronavirus Too Risky For Big Event
According to Hello! Magazine, the royal couple is forced to think about whether their wedding can really happen. The big day was set for May, and it is doubtful coronavirus will be contained by then.

Last year, Princess Beatrice’s wedding was rescheduled due to Prince Andrew’s scandal.

Now, the coronavirus pandemic is threatening to delay the wedding once again. Some wonder if the union might be cursed. It must be incredibly frustrating for the royal couple. Perhaps a private wedding ceremony might be best and they can have a reception at a later date. That way, they can get married and begin their new journey, but gives family and friends a chance to celebrate when it is safer to do so.
