Mike Tindall wraps Beatrice's husband in a bear hug at Peter Phillips's wedding

Peter Phillips's wedding to Harriet Sperling underscored how King Charles was 'reasserting control' to welcome Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie back into the royal fold after months of controversy.Days after a damning National Audit report found that they had never paid a penny in rent, Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, attended the royal nuptials, with Prince William also going out of his way to make them feel comfortable.A royal expert claimed William, 43, seemed keen to maintain the 'bond' between himself and Beatrice when they came face-to-face outside All Saints Church in Gloucestershire - but no one was happier to see them than Mike Tindall .One of the royal family's most affable members, the husband of Zara Tindall , rushed towards 'noticeably tense' Beatrice and Eugenie to put them at ease, greeting them with smiles and hugs.
