GIRL ABOUT TOWN: Good thing Beatrice no longer needs royal approval to marry because Prince William does not approve of her long-term beau | Daily Mail Online
News that Princess Beatrice will no longer have to ask the Queen's permission to marry after falling down the line of succession has headed off an awkward Royal Family rift.
For I gather that had Prince William been consulted by Her Majesty about Beatrice's long-term beau Dave Clark, he would not have given him his seal of approval.
As my source explains: 'William isn't a huge fan of Dave. It's fair to say that if Beatrice had asked the Queen for permission to marry Dave, and she in turn asked William privately for his view, she may not have been given a glowing report.
'The move in succession is fortunate for Dave and Beatrice in that respect.'
Really confused by this, I thought the Daily Mail were the ones who told us that it was William who set Dave and Beatrice up? I know things can change over time but I can't really see this being true.
