- The royal family released a ton of information about Princess Beatrice’s wedding.
- The wedding was scheduled to take place at The Chapel Royal on May 29, but that can change due to coronavirus concerns.
Update, March 17, 2020:
Looks like Princess Beatrice’s wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi might be canceled…again. According to a People source, Beatrice and Edoardo’s nuptials will likely be rescheduled because of the current corona virus pandemic. The last two times that Beatrice and Edoardo’s wedding was postponed was because of Prince Andrew’s scandal concerning Jeffrey Epstein.
Beatrice and Edoardo’s wedding was set to take place at The Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace with a reception to follow in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. But now, Queen Elizabeth has canceled her annual Buckingham Palace garden parties…meaning that Beatrice and Edoardo’s wedding will likely take a hit.
Details are being worked out, but nothing has been confirmed by the Palace as of yet.
Original Story, February 7, 2020:
Princess Beatrice’s wedding plans haven’t exactly been smooth sailing thanks to a ton of recent royal drama, but it looks like the royal family is finally releasing information about the event.
In posts shared to their social media platforms early this morning, the royals confirmed that “the wedding of HRH Princess Beatrice of York and Mr. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will take place on Friday 29 May 2020. The couple became engaged in Italy in September 2019. The Queen has kindly given permission for the ceremony to take place at The Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace. The ceremony will be followed by a private reception, given by The Queen, in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.”
This announcement comes shortly after The Sun reported that Beatrice was “furious” about having to put off revealing her wedding day thanks to the ongoing scandal with her dad, Prince Andrew, not to mention the drama surrounding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal exit.
“The decision has been delayed repeatedly because of all the issues, but finally they have something that seems to work—and barring any problems, that should be when it goes ahead,” a source said. “The queen has asked everyone to come together to put on a united front.”
A source also said, “The press officers of all the palaces hope to portray the Beatrice wedding as the big event that brings the family back together again. Aides know this will be a tough job, but it’s all they can do not just to save the wedding but potentially the monarchy’s reputation.”
