Congratulations are due for Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who are marking their fourth wedding anniversary.
The couple exchanged vows on 17 July 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for a last-minute socially-distanced ceremony at The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor.
Originally scheduled to marry at the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace in London in May 2020, they had to postpone their plans due to the pandemic. Their intimate ceremony was attended by fewer than 20 guests, including close family such as the late Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the couple’s parents, and siblings.
Following their discreet wedding, Beatrice, aged 35, and Edoardo, aged 40, enjoyed a modest wedding reception at Royal Lodge. While confirmed attendees included the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the couple’s immediate family, and Edoardo’s son Wolfie, details about other guests remain private.
In addition to changing their ceremony location, Beatrice and Edoardo also adjusted their original plans for the wedding reception venue, initially intending to celebrate in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.
When the palace first confirmed details of their big day back in February 2020, an official statement read: “The wedding of HRH Princess Beatrice of York and Mr. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will take place on Friday 29th May 2020.
“The couple became engaged in Italy in September 2019. Her Majesty the Queen has kindly given permission for the ceremony to take place at The Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace. The ceremony will be followed by a private reception, given by the Queen, in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.”
