The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in Windsor in July 2020, after having postponed the wedding due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. They were wed in the Royal Chapel of All Saint’s at the Royal Lodge, Beatrice’s childhood home. The change in venue was likely to cater for the Queen and Prince Philip to attend, as Beatrice has a very close relationship with her grandparents. 

On the Royally Obsessed podcast, the hosts looked back at the pair’s engagement: “We’re flashing back two years ago to 2019 when Princess Beatrice and Edo Mapelli Mozzi, property tycoon and Italian Count, by way of his Olympic skier dad, announced their engagement after 12 months of dating.”

“Pretty quick, comparable in that way to Harry and Meghan I feel like.”

“The then 36-year-old businessman got down on one knee at the Le Sirenuse hotel on the Amalfi Coast during a weekend getaway.” 

“He proposed with a Shaun Leane ring that he designed, that looks alot like the Queen’s.”

That’s not the only thing that was a tribute to Beatrice’s grandmother, the Queen. 

Instead of buying a gown for her wedding, Princess Beatrice wore a vintage dress belonging to the Queen,

The dress was originally created by legendary royal dressmaker, Norman Hartnell.

He began designing clothes for the royal family in the 1930s and went on to design the Queen’s wedding dress and her coronation gown.

To announce the engagement on social media, Edoardo posted: “You will never be alone my love, my heart is your home. Hand in hand, today, tomorrow and forever.”

The marriage also meant that Princess Beatrice became a step-mother to Edo’s young son called Wolfie.

Edoardo had been a friend of Beatrice’s family for some time, but the couple are said to have started a relationship after meeting again at her sister, Princess Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank in October 2018.
