Royal weddings are reputed to be (with good taste) over the top. Events are often televised, such as with Kate Middleton and Prince William, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, and the nuptials of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, and even the lesser-known Windsor often have weddings that are much announced. anticipation and they are packed with paparazzi (as with Lady Gabriella Windsor’s big day in 2019).
Princess Beatriz and her now husband, Edoardo “Edo” Mapelli Mozzi, are the exception to the rule. After being forced to scrap plans for a wedding in May due to the pandemic, the couple married in a small, unannounced ceremony in Windsor. Fans even had to wait a full day, after learning about the ceremony, to see photos from the event.
So why the reduced nuptials? It has a lot to do with the current coronavirus crisis. “The couple decided to hold a small private ceremony with their parents and siblings after their wedding postponement in May,” said a statement from Buckingham Palace. “Working within government guidelines, the service met unique circumstances and allowed them to celebrate their wedding with their closest family.”
A source said Country Country that the event “was planned for some time and planned around the Queen’s schedule.”
There is also the controversy surrounding Beatrice’s father, Prince Andrew. The Prince’s association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell has been in the public domain for some time, but faced new criticism after Epstein’s arrest in 2019. Public outcry reached a high point after Andrew’s televised interview with the journalist Emily Maitlis in November 2019, and subsequently voluntarily retired from her royal duties.
Although Beatrice and Edo’s wedding day was, of course, about them and not Prince Andrew, their situation may have influenced the decision to keep things small and avoid the usual press frenzy.
