Millionaire businessman Mr Mapelli Mozzi, 34, also known as Edo, posted four pictures with Beatrice, 31, to celebrate their engagement. He captioned the photos: “You will never be alone my love, my heart is your home. Hand in hand, today, tomorrow and forever.”

It comes after Buckingham Palace announced the pair, who became engaged during a trip to Italy earlier this month, will wed next year.

In a joint statement, Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi said: “We are extremely happy to be able to share the news of our recent engagement.

“We are both so excited to be embarking on this life adventure together and can’t wait to actually be married.

“We share so many similar interests and values, and we know that this will stand us in great stead for the years ahead, full of love and happiness.”

Beatrice also tweeted: “I’m so excited to announce my engagement to Edo.”

Their engagement prompted a delighted reaction from their families.

Sarah Ferguson took to social media, saying: “I know what a mother feels so I have tears of joy. I am so proud of this sensational news.

“Andrew and I are just the luckiest people ever to have two great sons in law.”

In a joint statement, Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York said: “We are thrilled that Beatrice and Edoardo have got engaged, having watched their relationship develop with pride.

“We are the lucky parents of a wonderful daughter who has found her love and companion in a completely devoted friend and loyal young man.

“They share an incredibly strong and united bond, their marriage will only strengthen what is already a wonderful relationship.”

Beatrice showed off her dazzling diamond engagement ring in pictures released to mark the engagement.

The sparkler was designed by Mr Mapelli Mozzi in conjunction with British jeweller Shaun Leane.

Beatrice will become a stepmother to Mr Mapelli Mozzi’s young son named Wolfie with ex-fiancee Dara Huang.

The royal started dating the property tycoon in autumn 2018 after meeting again at Princess Eugenie’s wedding last October.

Their families have known one another for many years.

Beatrice, who is ninth in line to the throne, split from her long-term love Dave Clark in 2016 after 10 years together.
