The princess was also decked with a diamond fringe tiara, which was loaned to her by Queen Elizabeth. The trinket was originally made in 1919 from a diamond necklace given by Queen Victoria, according to a statement from the palace.
The queen’s granddaughter and the property industrialist were married Friday in the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor. The 94-year-old British sovereign and her husband Prince Philip, 99, attended along with the parents and siblings of the bride and groom.
Working within government guidelines, the service was in keeping with the unique conditions while enabling them to rejoice their wedding with their closest family,” the palace said in a statement Saturday, adding that the ceremony took place at The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor. Mapelli Mozzi, also had a 2-year-old son from a previous relationship.
Beatrice, the daughter of Prince Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson, had initially intended to marry Mapelli Mozzi on May 29 in the Chapel Royal at St. James’s Palace. The ceremony was delayed because of the pandemic.
Beatrice and Mapelli Mozzi have been engaged since last September but the coronavirus pandemic interfered with the original wedding date of May 29. Mapelli Mozzi proposed while the couple were spending a weekend away in Italy last year.
