PRINCESS Beatrice and boyfriend Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have announced their engagement.
We take a look at her fiance and reveal all about the couple’s sparkling relationship…
On September 26, 2019, Beatrice and Edoardo announced their engagement.
Buckingham Palace released a statement from the couple saying: “We are extremely happy to be able to share the news of our recent engagement.
“We are both so excited to be embarking on this life adventure together and can’t wait to be married.
“We share so many similar interests and values and we know this will stand us in great stead for the years ahead, full of love and happiness.”
Princess Beatrice’s new fiance is a multi-millionaire property developer.
The 34-year-old founded his property consultancy Banda, or “big shed” in Swahili, in 2007.
Mozzi specialises in discreetly finding and developing multi-million pound homes for rich clients.
He also has a two year old son named Wolfie.
A cricket and opera lover, Mozzi is the stepson of ex-PM David Cameron’s late pal, Christopher Shale, who died of natural causes at Glastonbury festival in 2011.
The pair reportedly met in September, 2018, about a month before Bea’s sister Princess Eugenie got married on October 12 to Jack Brooksbank.
A friend told The Sun: “Beatrice and Edo have the same circle of friends and were introduced through a mutual chum.
“They hit it off instantly and have a real laugh together.
“They’ve been on holiday together and Beatrice introduced him to Fergie and her dad.
“Things are moving very quickly and it wouldn’t surprise anyone if they got engaged within a short period of time.
“They could even be tying the knot in 2019 — it’s already been discussed by her friends.
“Everyone is thrilled that Bea is so happy and in such a good place right now.”
And now just a year later, the pair are happily engaged.
Beatrice split from her American boyfriend Dave Clark in 2016 after a decade together.
The split was thought to be over the princess’s keenness to wed.
Before dating Uber exec Clark, 33 — who married his girlfriend Lynn Anderson in July — Beatrice dated New Yorker Paolo Liuzzo.
Liuzzo was her first love when she was just 17.
