If what insiders out of London are saying is true, there will be a Duke and Duchess of Sussex-sized gap on the guest list of Princess Beatriceโ€™s wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi next year.

โ€œTension has been brewing between Harry and Meghan and the York girls for months now,โ€ one palace source tells Womanโ€™s Day exclusively.

โ€œBeatrice has confessed to friends that if she gets her way, they wonโ€™t be invited.โ€

Itโ€™s believed the rift began when Beatriceโ€™s younger sister Princess Eugenie, 29, was privately miffed that Meghan, 38, debuted her baby bump during her own nuptials last October, effectively stealing her thunder.

And ever since then, itโ€™s been a social media tit for tat between the houses of Sussex and York.

โ€œAs soon as Harry and Meghan officially confirmed their pregnancy via Instagram as they began their tour to Australia days after Eugenieโ€™s wedding, youโ€™ll recall that her mum [Sarah Ferguson] dropped a treasure trove of Eugenieโ€™s wedding pics just hours after,โ€ our source adds. โ€œIt was obviously done on purpose as revenge.โ€

And now, it seems the war has escalated again.

Just 24 hours after Meghan and 34-year-old Harry gave the world an incredible glimpse of their son, Master Archie, during their trip to South Africa, the Yorks struck again, sharing a picture of Edo and 31-year-old Beatrice showing off her brand new art deco-style diamond dazzler.

โ€œThe timing of Beatriceโ€™s announcement was incredibly rude, given it stole the spotlight back from the important causes Harry and Meghan were trying to promote,โ€ says a source. โ€œOf course, they were furious, but itโ€™s the kind of pettiness theyโ€™ve come to expect these days.โ€

And while it would ordinarily be protocol to invite senior royals to her wedding, friends say Beatrice, who began dating the real-estate entrepreneur just 11 months ago, may have found a way to sidestep the niceties.

โ€œEdoโ€™s a private citizen, so technically she can forgo the traditional royal wedding for something low-key. That way she wonโ€™t have to invite Harry and Meghan and worry about all eyes being on them instead of the bride and groom!โ€
