When Princess Eugenie marries Jack Brooksbank on Friday, October 12, at least one member of the British royal family will not be present: Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
Royal commentator Victoria Arbiter said on Twitter that Camilla could not attend the upcoming royal wedding because of a prior commitment made by her.
"I know it's odd that Eugenie's marriage has gone away with Camilla, but that does not indicate any malice or unease," Arbiter said. "The Royals do not like to disappoint, since she's already committed to attending a school event, it's their duty first."
Camilla will visit a school festival in Scotland near her home in Birkhall, according to The Mirror. Sources close to the royal family have insisted that his decision to honor his commitment and not to disappoint the children who wait for him – this is not because there is bad blood.
"I would not see it as a snub," said a source. "It was a long standing commitment."

"Members of the royal family often lack family events for pre-programmed commitments," said Arbiter. "It's in a school and it's been around for a long time, I guess she does not want to disappoint the kids, she'll talk to Eugenie about it."
The royal, aged 71, is the only prominent member of the royal family not to attend the wedding, but everyone will wonder if Prince Philip will be present in the midst of his health problems.
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank will be getting married on Friday, October 12 at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, where Prince Harry married Meghan Markle in May.
