Edoardo Mapellli Mozzi rarely posts
pictures regarding his personal life, usually delighting his Instagram
followers with snaps of impeccably designed properties across the world.
On Wednesday, however, he was overcome with
emotion when he and his wife, Princess Beatrice, spotted The Ram sculpture
at Ascot – and couldn’t help but take a picture in front of it.
In the photo, the couple posed together, with
their arms around each other, and beamed as they looked at the camera.
“The Ram. Congratulations to
@davidwilliamsellis,” he wrote alongside the snap.
Just
weeks ago, he shared another picture of the sculpture and explained his
connection to it.
“David Williams-Ellis the most incredible
sculptor, creative genius and also my stepfather. @davidwilliamsellis,” he
wrote, before adding: “David Williams-Ellis’ sculptures are inspired by
the romanticism of Rodin and Bourdelle, they are noted for their classical
balance and poise and above all for a sense of movement and vitality captured
within the form.”
The Ram, made using more than 2 tonnes of clay
and another tonne of steel, is David’s largest sculpture to date and it was
unveiled to the public for the first time at the Royal Ascot.
Friends and fans were quick to react to the
rare loved-up snap, with one writing: “What a beautiful couple you two
are!” A second added: “What an amazing couple you are! All the very
best for your little family,” whilst a third remarked: “Bea has
really found her style! She looks so happy with marriage and motherhood.”
On day two of Royal Ascot, Beatrice
stunned in a beautiful white, close-fitting dress which came complete with
pleats at the skirt and added a lovely boater hat with contrasting navy detail.
