Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi were never the loud, headline-chasing kind of couple. Their relationship unfolded slowly, mostly away from cameras, and that’s probably why people find it so genuine. Beatrice grew up with cameras everywhere because she’s the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. Edoardo’s life was kind of its own thing, focused on family, busy with work, and just going along at his own pace. And somehow it worked for him. Their relationship felt real, not forced or showy, which is nice, because sometimes royal romances look a bit too polished or like they’re meant for the cameras.



2018: How It All Began

Their story began through some mutual friends in 2018. There was nothing filmy, no royal ceremony-like moment, just a casual introduction that somehow turned out to be significant. At that time, Edoardo was already a well-known property businessman and also the father of his younger son, Christopher Wolf, known as Wolfie, who was born in 2016.



They spent time getting to know each other without rushing and without turning it into a public announcement. Looking back, it seems like that slow beginning gave their relationship a solid base, one built on trust and comfort rather than attention.



2019: Stepping Into the Spotlight and Getting Engaged

By early 2019, they were showing up together a bit more, at family dinners or little get-togethers, and people kind of started noticing, and it felt natural rather than forced. Edoardo fit into royal life surprisingly easily, but without trying too hard, which is kind of rare. In September 2019, Buckingham Palace confirmed their engagement. The announcement came with photos taken in Italy, a place that holds personal meaning for Edoardo. At the time, Beatrice spoke openly about how supportive Edoardo was, especially during a time when things around her family were complicated.





2020: A Private Wedding at Windsor

Their wedding was initially planned as a grand affair. Then, in 2020, circumstances changed, and they had to rethink their plans. In July 2020, they got married in a very small ceremony at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor, nothing huge, just the people closest to them, which included Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, so it felt important but still really personal, almost like a family moment rather than a big public event. Beatrice wore a vintage gown borrowed from her grandmother, and the whole ceremony felt personal rather than performative. It wasn’t what they first planned, but in many ways, it suited them better.



2021–2025: Building a Family Life

In September 2021, they had their daughter, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi , her middle name honouring Queen Elizabeth II, which was a nice little touch. Beatrice has been open about how motherhood is both amazing and really challenging, which makes her feel more relatable. Their family life includes Wolfie, too, and they seem to handle parenting and royal duties without pretending everything’s perfect, which is refreshing.






Recent Public Appearances: Calm and Consistent

In the last few years, they’ve appeared in public selectively, at big events or family stuff, but it’s always calm and understated. There’s no showiness, just them being themselves, and they’re comfortable with each other and their roles. They balance public life and private life in a way that looks simple, but that kind of steadiness is rare in royal circles.
