Princess Beatrice married her fiancé, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, on Friday, July 17, 2020. The couple married at The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor, at 11am with The Queen, Prince Philip, and close family in attendance.
The couple announced their engagement back in September 2019, and had planned on marrying on May 29, 2020 at the Chapel Royal in St. James Palace but had to cancel those plans due to the pandemic.
The Royal Family released two photos from the wedding – the first with the bride and groom exiting the church; the second with the bride and groom with The Queen and Philip.
While the wedding was a private affair and incredibly small due to social distancing restrictions, Beatrice went Full Princess for her wedding day.
She wore a vintage Norman Hartnell gown from 1961 – the gown was made for The Queen for a trip to Rome in 1961, and she wore it again in 1967 to the Lawrence of Arabia premiere and the Opening of Parliament. Hartnell famously designed both the Queen’s 1947 wedding gown and her 1953 coronation gown.
Below is The Queen in the gown at the 1961 premiere of Lawrence of Arabia.

Beatrice wore Queen Mary’s Fringe Tiara for her wedding, which is the same tiara The Queen wore on her wedding day (Princess Anne also wore this tiara for her 1973 wedding).

The flowers were done by Patrice Van Helden.
In keeping with another royal tradition, Bea’s bouquet was laid on the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey.

I think it’s a wonderful tradition that she wore Queen Mary’s Fringe Tiara (like the Queen and Anne before her), and I think the wedding gown is gorgeous and I love the addition of the sleeves. This whole look is so fairytale. *Chef’s kiss* Perfection!
Best wishes and congratulations to the bride and groom!
