Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are known for their glamorous date nights, from secret sunset dinners in St. Tropez to hopping between exclusive London clubs, but sometimes even royals have to tackle everyday tasks.
Recently, the couple was seen doing their weekly grocery shopping at Marks & Spencer in Mayfair.
Edoardo, who shares a daughter, Sienna, with Beatrice and has a son, Wolfie, from a previous relationship, was spotted carrying their grocery bag. Photos published by MailOnline revealed that their shopping included vine tomatoes and leafy greens.
Although it’s unclear if Beatrice still adheres strictly to a plant-based diet, she has previously favored veganism. Her 31st birthday party in 2019 featured an entirely vegan menu, including a dairy-free cake.
The contents of her grocery bag suggest she might still follow a vegan diet, a choice she maintained while working with her nutritionist and close friend, Gabriela Peacock, both before her wedding and after the birth of Sienna.
Gabriela shared with HELLO! her advice on post-pregnancy nutrition: “A lot of new mums focus on weight and getting back into shape, which I don’t encourage. The baby is the priority. If you’ve just been pregnant, you really need to relax and be kind to yourself. Don’t rush anything, don’t stress, and don’t judge yourself. Having a loose plan helps.”
Beatrice is not alone in her vegan choices among the royals. Before marrying Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex also spoke about her commitment to a vegan and gluten-free diet on weekdays.
“I try to eat vegan during the week and then have a little bit more flexibility with what I dig into on the weekends,” Meghan told Best Health in 2015.
“But at the same time, it’s all about balance. Because I work out the way I do, I don’t ever want to feel deprived. I feel that the second you do that is when you start to binge on things. It’s not a diet; it’s lifestyle eating.”
