Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi defied tradition just before their royal wedding six years ago today. The couple tied the knot in a small ceremony in Windsor on July 17, 2020, amidst Covid restrictions. Guests included the late Queen, Prince Philip, Princess Eugenie, and Beatrice’s parents. Edo’s son, Wolfie, served as the best man.

Unlike most royal couples, Beatrice and Edo chose to spend the night together before the wedding, departing from the usual practice of staying apart. In contrast, Princess Kate and Prince William spent the night before their wedding at separate locations.

Meghan Markle and her mother stayed at Cliveden House Hotel before her wedding, while Harry and William lodged at Coworth Park. Beatrice and Edo shared wedding photos the day after the ceremony, delaying the release to honor Captain Tom Moore’s knighthood.

Beatrice wore a vintage dress loaned by The Queen and the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara, a piece steeped in royal history. The couple’s wedding photos captured them leaving the church and posing with the Queen and Prince Philip.
