Princess Beatrice of York, who is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, revealed on Twitter that she had named her daughter Sienna Elizabeth after her sovereign grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Also the baptism of the little girl, in May 2022, was a top secret event. Nothing transpired of the ceremony which took place, like most other royal baptisms, in the chapel of St. James Palace. Since she was born, her parents have never shown her face to the world.

The relationship between the princess and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who met through mutual friends, began to be talked about in November 2018. “Edoardo is a friend of Beatrice’s family”, a source revealed to PeopleAt that time. Edoardo asked Beatrice to marry him during a trip to Italy in September 2019: their royal wedding was scheduled for spring 2020.

But, due to Covid, the couple changed plans, and opted for a private wedding in Windsor Chapel, Julywith 20 guests, including close friends and family, including Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Theirs was the first closed-door royal wedding in 235 years. No social previews, no famous stylist to design her dress, who chose to combine Queen Mary’s Fringe tiara (the same one that Elizabeth II wore to say yes to Philip) with a dress of the late queen adapted for the occasion. It is also due to these details that Beatrice of York was among the most beautiful royal brides of recent decades. “AND It was very intimate and romantic», a source reported. “It had been planned for some time and everyone had to be extremely cautious before the big day because the Queen was there. They had to make sure that everyone present was in perfect health.” The first official photos of the wedding arrived just two days later.

After the wedding, Beatrice and Edward lived for a time at St. James’s Palace, then moved to a cottage in the Cotswolds.
