It's hard to believe it's already been a whole year since Princess Beatrice and her Italian Count husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, tied the knot in the Royal Chapel of All Saints at the Royal Lodge in Windsor. Saturday marked their first wedding anniversary and it seems the couple are more in love now than ever before, judging by Edo's incredibly sweet tribute to his wife on social media.
Taking to Instagram to mark their anniversary, Edo posted a snap of himself and Beatrice (who is currently pregnant with their first child together - Edo already has a son, Wolfie, from a previous relationship). In the shot, they appear to be somewhere super scenic - possibly out on a hike - and look super loved up together, with Beatrice resting her head on her husband's face.
Edo captioned the never-before-seen image with, "I can't believe it has been 1 year. Every second of every day since has been so full of joy, happiness, laughter and love. You are the kindest, loveliest and most beautiful person in the world. Thank you my darling for every second." How lovely is that?
Many of property specialist's 77,000 followers were quick to share their well wishes too, including his ex-partner (and Wolfie's mother) Dara Huang, who wrote, "Happiest anniversary to the best co-parents [and] soon to be parents ever!" It's reported that Princess Beatrice loves being a stepmother and that little Wolfie even served as best man at the couple's wedding.
The couple's big day last year - which was initially due to take place in May but was delayed due to the pandemic - was followed by a statement from Buckingham Palace. It revealed a few more details about the day and said: "The couple decided to hold a small private ceremony with their parents and siblings following the postponement of their wedding in May."
It continued, "Working within government guidelines, the service was in keeping with the unique circumstances while enabling them to celebrate their wedding with their closest family. No hymns were sung, but a selection of music was played. The National Anthem was played but not sung."
Everyone's clicking on...
It's reported that Beatrice's mother, Sarah Ferguson, and Edoardo's mother, Nikki Williams-Ellis, both read poems selected by the newlyweds too.
More recently, Beatrice and Edo were spotted enjoying a day out at the tennis together, with the Princess sporting a white dress with black polka dots on it and a sizeable bump. As part of her pregnancy announcement back in May, the couple confirmed that their already much-loved baby is due in Autumn.
Congratulations on your anniversary, Beatrice and Edo!
