Princess Beatrice’s husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi has shared a never-before-seen image of them kissing at their wedding.
Prince Andrew’s eldest daughter, 35, married the property developer in 2020 and yesterday the couple celebrated four years since they tied the knot.
Posting on Instagram for their anniversary, Edo, 40, shared a never-before-seen behind-the-scenes photo of their picturesque nuptials.
The stunning image shows the newlyweds exchanging a sweet kiss in a secluded spot in the woods while holding hands.
Edo himself appears to be smiling in the precious image, and he wrote an emotional caption alongside it.
Princess Beatrice’s husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi has shared a never-before-seen image of them kissing at their wedding.
She wrote an emotional caption alongside the image, as the couple celebrate their fourth anniversary this week.
“Happy fourth wedding anniversary, my love. Every day is so special with you. I love you so much,” he wrote in a personal message to his wife.
She also posted a photo of their wedding venue: the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Beatrice’s family’s childhood home in Windsor Great Park.
The wedding was attended by just 20 guests, including Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Sarah Ferguson, the Duke of York and Edo’s son Wolfie, whom he shares with ex-fiancée Dara Huang.
It was a less extravagant celebration than those sometimes seen among royalty due to Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
By contrast, Princess Eugenie’s wedding to marketing executive Jack Brooksbank in 2018 included a carriage procession through Windsor and generated around £2m in public spending.
In a touching tribute to her late grandmother, Princess Beatrice wore a Norman Hartnell dress that Her Majesty had first worn to a state dinner in Rome in 1961.
The vintage dress was carefully restyled for Beatrice by the Queen’s costumer Angela Kelly and designer Stewart Parvin.
Beatrice also wore Queen Mary’s diamond fringe tiara, which the then Princess Elizabeth displayed at her wedding to Prince Philip on 20 November 1947.

The socially distanced event at the Royal Chapel of All Saints marked the first royal wedding behind closed doors in 235 years.
The chapel was decorated with pink and white delphiniums, roses, wax flowers and hydrangeas, sourced from Windsor Great Park.
Béatrice carried a bouquet of trailing jasmine, pale pink and cream sweet peas, ivory Royal Porcelina spray roses, pink O’Hara garden roses, pink wax flowers, baby pink astilbe flowers and sprigs of myrtle.
Following tradition, the bride sent her bouquet to be laid at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey.
During the 30-minute service, Sarah Ferguson and Nikki Williams-Ellis, the bride and groom’s mothers, read the couple’s favourite poems: I Carry You In My Heart by EE Cummings and Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare.
Edoardo’s three-year-old son, Wolfie, played the roles of best man and page boy.
Prince Andrew, out of the spotlight following his disastrous Newsnight interview about his relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and sexual assault allegations, walked his daughter down the aisle but did not appear in any of the photographs shared with the public.
Beatrice and Edoardo welcomed daughter Sienna in 2020 and were recently spotted together at Wimbledon.

Beatrice’s mother, Sarah, Duchess of York, shared a black and white photograph of the couple in her thank you cards.
They attended the ninth day of the tennis championships and sat in the Royal Box, where Beatrice warmly greeted broadcaster Stephen Fry.
The couple have had an exciting few weeks, attending a party hosted by tennis star Maria Sharapova, as well as Trips to Glastonbury and BST Hyde Park.
Beatrice is believed to have met Italian property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in September 2018.
However, it is said that he had been close to the York family for some time and that they had known each other since they were children before Edo and the royals began seeing each other romantically.
He is the son of Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi, a British Olympic athlete and member of an ancient titled Italian noble family, and Nikki Shale.
The couple made their first public appearance together in 2019 at the National Portrait Gallery’s 2019 Gala. Shortly after, he accompanied Beatrice on a family trip with Sarah Ferguson during the Bahrain Grand Prix in March of the same year.
And it was a whirlwind romance, as the couple got engaged just 11 months after dating in September 2019.
In a public statement, Beatrice and Mapelli Mozzi said of their 11-month romance: ‘We are extremely happy to be able to share the news of our recent engagement.
For her big day, Beatrice wore a vintage Norman Hartnell gown and the Queen Mary diamond fringed tiara, borrowed from her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Elizabeth wore the same tiara at her wedding to Prince Philip on November 20, 1947.
‘We are so excited to embark on this life adventure together and can’t wait to get married.
“We share many similar interests and values, and we know that this will serve us well in the years to come, filled with love and happiness.”
Beatrice’s sister Eugenie was quick to share her joy on Instagram with a photo of the happy couple alongside the caption: ‘Beabea, wow! I’m so happy for you my dear little sister and dear Edo.
“It’s been a long road and you two are meant to be together.”
The happy couple got engaged during a romantic trip to Italy, where they stayed in the exclusive town of Positano on the Amalfi Coast.
Beatrice and Edo joined the likes of Stephen Fry and Lena Dunham at the Wimbledon tennis courts last week.
The couple have had a busy few weeks, making multiple public appearances.
After announcing the engagement, Edo began accompanying Beatrice to royal events, such as the Windsors’ annual Christmas Day services at Sandringham Estate, before they tied the knot in July 2020.
In September 2021, they welcomed their first child, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, who is currently tenth in line to the British throne.
While she does not have any royal titles, she will receive a title through her father’s family, as he is descended from Italian aristocracy and will inherit the family residence, the 18th-century Villa Mapelli Mozzi palace in northern Italy.
Edo was previously engaged to Chinese-American architect Dara Huang in 2017 and the couple were together for three and a half years.
He also shares a son, Wolfie, with his ex-fiancée, but they split in 2018, just weeks before dating rumors began between him and Beatrice.
