The Duchess of York has revealed that Russell Brand would have to be vetted by her before he could date Princess Eugenie, reports The Mirror.

The comic reportedly said he would like to date the 18-year-old and become part of the Royal Family earlier this week.

Speaking at the opening of a new £1.25 million cancer unit in Leeds, the Duchess said: "Tell him he will have to come through me first."

The opening at St. James's Hospital marked Eugenie's first Royal engagement.
