Princess Beatrice and her
husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi delighted royal fans on Wednesday as they
undertook their first official engagement as a couple.
The pair’s visit was for a
cause very close to their hearts as they travelled to Sweden, where they
met with Prince Carl Philip and his wife, Princess Sofia for the
launch of the World Dyslexia Assembly.
A photo of the two couples was
posted to the Swedish royal family’s official Instagram account, and Beatrice
looked radiant in a long black floral and polka dot patterned dress while
Edoardo was dapper as ever in a dark blue suit.
The caption read: “A
special thank you to Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice, a longtime activist
for dyslexic minds, and to her husband Edoardo for joining us.”
Edoardo has attended family
events such as weddings and funerals alongside his wife, and of course, accompanied her to Prince Philip’s service of thanksgiving at
Westminster Abbey earlier this month.

However, this is the first
time they have carried out an engagement without other family members and they
have never before traveled abroad to meet another royal couple.
The event is very important to
both royal duos, as both Beatrice and the Swedish prince have the
condition. At the assembly, the charity Made By Dyslexia is calling for
large-scale change into how the condition is handled in schools and workplaces.
Mum-of-one Beatrice has
previously opened up about her experience of dyslexia in a heartfelt
interview with Giovanna Fletcher for HELLO!’s Back to School digital
issue last year.

She said: “Honestly, what
inspired me to talk about dyslexia the way that I have, is because I really
want to change the narrative around the diagnosis.
“Even referring to it as
a diagnosis I feel does a disservice to the brilliance of some of the most
fantastic minds that we have. And I think just shifting the narrative a little
bit towards something that is positive, that is impactful, I think can really
help everyone.”
