Discussing Eugenie’s announcement on GB News, Eamonn was surprised that Eugenie’s father hasn’t commented on her big news publicly.

He said: “Now Sarah can comment, what about her dad Andrew?”

The presenter the went on to claim that it’s ‘cruel’ if Prince Andrew has been excluded from commenting on his daughter’s pregnancy.

Eamonn declared: “Does being ruled out of public life exclude him from commenting on this sort of thing? It seems cruel if it does.”

However, royal editor Katie Nicholl confirmed that it doesn’t, but the risk of Andrew commenting could ‘reignite everything else’.

She explained: “It doesn’t. But he has been airbrushed out of key family moments.

“If you think back to her sister Beatrice’s wedding, there was no official picture of Andrew.

“I think the risk of bringing Andrew in at any capacity, even a happy story like this, is that it then reignites everything else that comes with the Andrew story.”
