Princess Beatrice's wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on 18 July 2020 was a socially distanced affair, but the Queen and Prince Philip were present, beaming with pride. The ceremony took place at the Chapel of All Saints on the Windsor estate, allowing the monarch, 94, to witness her granddaughter exchange vows. The Duke of Edinburgh, 99, made his first public appearance in a year.
Beatrice wore a vintage Norman Hartnell dress and the Queen's own tiara, both lent by her grandmother. The Queen's generosity was unmatched for any previous royal bride, acknowledging the disappointment of a scaled-down wedding due to lockdown and the distress over Prince Andrew's scandal.
Prince Andrew walked Beatrice down the aisle but was notably absent from official photographs, following his step back from public life over his links to Jeffrey Epstein. The wedding was the first royal ceremony behind closed doors in 235 years, with only 20 guests present.
Beatrice's sister Eugenie served as maid of honour, and Edo's son Wolfie, four, acted as best man and page boy. A small party was held at Royal Lodge, with some guests staying overnight in glamping pods. The photographs were released a day later to avoid overshadowing Captain Tom Moore's knighthood ceremony.
