Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were noticeably 'tense' as they arrived at Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling's wedding today amid the recent rental revelations, according to a body language expert. The long-awaited nuptials of the son of Princess Anne, 48, and his NHS nurse bride, 45, attracted several members of the Royal Family, including the daughters of the disgraced ex-Duke of York, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Earlier today, Beatrice and Eugenie arrived at their cousin's wedding with their respective husbands Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Jack Brooksbank, in spite of the release of an 'outrageous' National Audit report which revealed they had never paid a penny in rent.However, according to body language expert Judi James, there was one member of the group who was keen to take on the role of an 'attention lightening rod' and acted with 'gallant confidence' amid the ensuing controversy. Analysing footage of the group of four arriving at All Saints Church in Kemble, Judi told the Daily Mail: 'While Beatrice, Eugenie and Jack all wore tense facial expressions as they got nearer to the cameras, Edo's rituals suggested a state of gallant confidence plus a desire to appear irrepressible.'He strode out as his wife inclined slightly towards him, closing his brolly in a dramatic gesture before pushing a hand through his hair and very deliberately holding his left hand out to clasp Beatrice's as though keen to give her a sense of support and encouragement.'She added that at one stage, Edo, 42, 'puffed his chest in a gesture of power and threw a beaming smile at the ushers, calling out a "hi" and waving his closed brolly in the air in a signal of upbeat celebration'. 'His greeting rituals were emphatic: he threw his arm around the neck of one usher to pull him tight in a joyful embrace,' noted Ms James. Jack Brooksbank, Princess Eugenie, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Princess Beatrice arrive for the royal wedding However, in contrast, Eugenie and Jack were keen to retain a more low-key profile and 'avoided any handholding' following the outrage surrounding the deals the sisters benefited from in relation to royal residences. Eugenie 'clasped her coat together over her baby bump in a protective-looking gesture while Jack performed an act of distraction by rooting through his pockets', added Judi.The princess, who is due to give birth to her third child this summer, followed closely behind with Jack, dressed in an all navy attire with matching shoes and a hat.Beatrice, meanwhile, was seen wearing an Alice band and a green and white dress printed with leaves for the occasion. Ms James explained that perhaps 'in an act of distraction', Jack was seen 'rooting through his pockets' to try and take attention away from the two princesses. 'His sigh and her lower jaw-jut suggested they were bracing themselves for the cameras, unlike Edo who appeared to be the group's 'lightning rod' for attention,' she added.

No taxpayer money was involved.However, the homes are situated in occupied royal palaces, which are maintained by public funding via the Sovereign Grant, which was effectively reimbursed by the monarch on their behalf.And for a number of years, their adjusted rents – reduced because the Royal Household properties require tenants with security clearance – were based on out-of-date open market valuations, as were others.Some of the properties were dramatically under market value, with the report finding that not even a self-imposed 60 per cent rule was always followed.However, they were not the only royals to face scrutiny, with other revelations, such as their father being allowed to let three properties on his leased Windsor Estate to staff for a potential profit, being lambasted as 'outrageous'.Shamed Andrew may also be entitled to more than £300,000 in 'compensation' from the Crown Estate after he was booted out of the Royal Lodge after paying 'peppercorn' rent for over two decades before the end of his 75-year lease.The 66-year-old was kicked out of the Grade-II listed mansion by his monarch brother after being stripped of his Prince title over his friendship with paedophile financier, Jeffrey Epstein, which emerged. Andrew has denied any wrongdoing.But his daughters were not the only royals to benefit from subsidised rent, as Prince and Princess Michael of Kent have long enjoyed a sovereign-subsidised arrangement at a luxurious apartment in Kensington Palace.The NAO report, which was sparked amid revelations that Andrew was paying 'peppercorn rent' at the Royal Lodge, is factual but does not seek to examine value for money.However, a number of questions are likely to be raised over its contents by MPs in the next few months.
