Princess Beatrice and Edoardo royal wedding: see how the coronavirus pandemic really affected their big day.
July 17, 2020 - 14:08 BST Bridie Wilkins Princess Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in secret on Friday 17 July. The couple originally intended to tie the knot on 29 May but were forced to postpone their nuptials due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, the pair are undoubtedly happy, although their wedding will have been very different to what they imagined.
Coronavirus guidelines state that social distancing measures must be practiced throughout ceremonies and receptions. As a result, Princess Beatrice's father Prince Andrew may not have been able to walk her down the aisle, since Beatrice has not been living with her father during the lockdown period. The only exception, however, would be if they have since formed a 'social bubble' together.What's more, wedding guestlists are restricted to 30 guests.
Beatrice would also have had a smaller bridal party than usual, and will likely have included only her mother Sarah Ferguson, sister Princess Eugenie and perhaps Edoardo's mother Nikki Shale. Where hygiene is concerned, Beatrice and Edoardo will have had to forgo a wedding buffet.
All in all, Beatrice and Edoardo's wedding will have marked more royal wedding firsts than ever before, as the first to take place in a global pandemic. Make sure you never miss a ROYAL story!
