One of the most anticipated weddings of the year, a royal wedding of Princess Beatrice to property tycoon Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi ended up being a scientific ceremony held quietly at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor last Friday.
The newlyweds decided to hold a private ceremony with their parents and siblings after they postponed their wedding in May due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Here’s what we know about the event
- The Queen loaned Beatrice a vintage dress for the occasion, as well as the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara which the monarch wore on her own wedding day in 1947.
- Beatrice wore a vintage Peau De Soie taffeta dress, in shades of ivory by Norman Hartnell, on loan from the Queen, and trimmed with duchess satin and encrusted with diamante.
- The dress was remodelled and fitted by the Queen’s senior dresser Angela Kelly and designer Stewart Parvin, according to Buckingham Palace.
- Mr Mapelli Mozzi’s son Wolfie was best man and pageboy.
- Beatrice and her husband began dating in autumn 2018 and got engaged last September. The couple are said to have started a relationship after meeting again at Beatrice’s sister Princess Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank.
- After Friday’s ceremony, Beatrice’s wedding bouquet was placed on the tomb of the unknown warrior in Westminster Abbey, as is tradition for royal brides. The bouquet was fashioned out of trailing jasmine, pale pink and cream sweet peas, royal porcelain ivory spray roses, pink O’Hara garden roses, pink wax flower, baby pink astilbe and, in keeping with royal tradition, sprigs of myrtle.
