Princess Beatrice on Friday July 17, got married to Italian property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in a private wedding ceremony at Windsor.

The wedding ceremony of the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah which took place at The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, was attended by the Queen, Prince Philip and other close relatives.

The couple were initially scheduled to get married in May but Coronavirus delayed the plans. The palace said in a statement, that the wedding took place in accordance with all relevant government guidelines.

It read;

“The private wedding ceremony of Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi took place at 11am on Friday 17th July at The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor.

“The small ceremony was attended by The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh and close family.

“The wedding took place in accordance with all relevant Government guidelines.”

Mr Mapelli Mozzi popularly known as Edo, began dating Beatrice in autumn 2018. They got engaged during a weekend trip to Italy last September. Announcing their engagement in a statement released at that time, the couple 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 be married.

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

Beatrice, cousin to Prince William and Prince Harry is ninth in line to the throne. Only the first six people in the line of succession have to obtain the Queen’s permission to marry, but it is likely the monarch would have been among the first told by her granddaughter of the impending nuptials.
