Two of his brothers were his bestmen (as seen in the group picture on the first page), Prince Alexander and Prince Franz Joseph of Battenberg.

I think because Queen Victoria chose it to be that way. She was very controlling of Beatrice in all aspects of her life. In fact, she wouldn't have let Beatrice marry at all, but she made the princess promise to live with her (along with her own husband and children) at Osborne House for as long as Victoria was alive.

You are so correct. In Lance Salway's book, "Queen Victoria's grandchildren there is a mention that Queen Victoria was determined that Beatrice should never marry but remain the "prop,comfort and companion to her widowed mother to old age"
When Beatrice informed her mother that she fell in love with Henry of Battenberg the Queen was angry. She refused to allow her daughter to marry and did not talk to Beatrice for seven months. She only gave her permission when both Beatrice and Henry agreed to live with the Queen after their marriage.
