The Truth About Princess Beatrice's Marriage

As a member of the royal family who is tenth in line to inherit the throne, royal fans love to keep up to date on the life of Princess Beatrice. While the first-born daughter of Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, and Prince Andrew isn't a working royal, the princess still shares plenty of her major life moments for those eager to know more. In recent years, Beatrice has shared more of her romantic life, including her relationship with, and subsequent marriage to, British businessman Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

The pair aren't super open about their personal life, so it only makes what they do choose to share with the world that much more special. For example, in 2021, the happy couple announced that they'd welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Sienna Elizabeth. Occasionally, the parents have even been spotted out with their little one. Despite — or perhaps due to — their tendency to be more private, fans of the royal family are dying to know more details about Beatrice's marriage to her husband, Mapelli Mozzi.

After going public with their relationship, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi enjoyed plenty of royal family get-togethers and events, much to the delight of fans of the royal couple. In 2019, People reported that the princess and Mapelli Mozzi traveled to the Middle East to attend VIP Day at the Bahrain Grand Prix and met up with the princess' mother, Sarah Ferguson, and her father, Prince Andrew. Together, the royal family and Mapelli Mozzi watched the Formula One Championship race. The Duchess of York even took a selfie with her daughter and champion horse jockey Frankie Dettori.

However, that was far from the only occasion Beatrice and her beau were spotted together. Harper's Bazaar detailed that Mapelli Mozzi joined his girlfriend for a truly romantic and royal affair, the wedding of Lady Gabriella Windsor and Thomas Kingston. According to the outlet, Beatrice and the businessman arrived together and were also seen socializing with Beatrice's mother. And around the same time, Hello! shared their sighting of the happy couple on a double date with the princess' sister, Princess Eugenie, and her husband, Jack Brooksbank. According to the magazine, the royal sisters and their significant others dined together at the Gold restaurant in Notting Hill. One photo even shows Mapelli Mozzi between the sisters, with all three walking hand-in-hand.

Like many other people around the world, the pandemic forced Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi to change their wedding plans, moving it to a later date. According to Insider, they didn't move it that far, as the official ceremony was supposed to occur in May 2020 and eventually happened in July of that year. But unfortunately, due to pandemic-related restrictions, both the venue and the reception had to be changed. Instead of the initially planned ceremony at the Chapel Royal on the grounds of St. James' Palace, the couple instead were wed at the Royal Chapel of All Saints on the grounds of The Royal Lodge, a private estate in Windsor. Similarly, The Mirror reported the couple switched their original reception location to the garden of The Royal Lodge. The event was said to have "a bouncy castle, glamping pods, and a pop-up pub."

In accordance with the pandemic-related protocols, The Sun reported that the ceremony had only 20 guests in attendance, far from the initially planned number of 150. Those lucky guests who made the cut included close family and, of course, the queen herself. According to The Telegraph, some exceptions were made for the wedding, one of which allowed Prince Andrew to walk his daughter down the aisle, a tradition that was, at the time, restricted. The news source states that this particular exception was made because the Duke of York had been reportedly isolating prior to the ceremony.

In 2021, the royal family's Twitter account officially announced that Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi had recently added a new member to their family. The post stated the newest royal family member's name was Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi and that she was born on September 18, 2021. The account added that the parents and their newborn daughter were "all doing well," with the couple stating that Mapelli Mozzi's son from his previous relationship was already "the best big brother" to their baby girl. Similarly, Mapelli Mozzi shared his own heartfelt message on Instagram, writing that he was excited for all the "amazing things" that were ahead. "Feeling so much love and gratitude for my amazing wife, baby Sienna and Wolfie," he wrote in part, adding that this period was a time that he would remember forever.

Additionally, Harper's Bazaar recently reported that the royal mom was honoring her husband and both of the couple's children with a stylish accessory. According to the report, Beatrice was seen wearing a gold chain necklace sporting three initials, E (for Mapelli Mozzi), S (for her daughter), and W (for her stepson). It's definitely a sweet way to show your love for your family.

While Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi keep most of the details of their personal life fairly private, they do occasionally break their silence to reveal some special details. For example, in a 2021 interview with Hello!, Beatrice discussed education and revealed that both she and her husband share the same learning difficulty, dyslexia. "My husband's also dyslexic so we'll see whether we're having this conversation in a couple of months' time with a new baby in the house, but I really see it as a gift," the princess said.

The interview noted that Beatrice was diagnosed with the learning difficulty when she was only seven years old. She also told the magazine that — regardless of her dyslexia diagnosis — she "loved the environment" school provided her with. While speaking about the future education of her own children (at the time, Beatrice was still pregnant with her daughter), the royal stated if any of her present or future children were "lucky enough to be diagnosed with dyslexia, I feel incredibly grateful to have tools such as the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity to be able to tap into, to give them that extra support."

As previously mentioned, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are fans of keeping their personal life fairly private. A write-up by Town and Country even noted that the happy couple chose not to share a photo of their daughter, Sienna Elizabeth, after she was born. Hello! similarly noted that, months after her birth, Beatrice and Mapelli Mozzi still hadn't shared any images of their little girl. Still, the outlet attributed this to the princess' desire to keep her daughter out of the spotlight, saying, "Princess Beatrice is not a working member of the royal family and is more private as a result."

However, despite the lack of details offered by the couple, Beatrice and her growing family are occasionally spotted out and about, with the Daily Mail reporting that the family was seen in London at Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland festival in 2021. The princess, her husband, and their daughter were also accompanied by Mapelli Mozzi's son, Christopher Woolf. According to the outlet, the family kept their attendance at the festival low-key, browsed the Christmas market, played some of the fairground games, and ate at a German bratwurst stall. One passerby who observed the clan told the news source, "They didn't want to be made a fuss of. They were just really normal and nice."
