On Princess Beatrice’s Journey To Find True Love: From Assault Scandal To Devastating Breakup – E! Online

There have been plenty of royal headlines in recent years.

Prince harry and Meghan markle tied the knot; Princess Eugenie and Jack brooksbank, too much. Queen elizabeth ii became Gan-Gan to a few other heirs (hello, Prince Louis, Archie Harrison and Lili diane!) and — you’re not sure, you may have heard of it? —Harry decided it was high time for a career change, among other things.

And with so many of his cousins ​​dominating the news cycle, with their international tours and their featured interviews, Princess Beatrice, the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew (racking up his own less than favorable music videos lately thanks to his connections to a convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein) and Sarah ferguson, Duchess of York, remained relatively calm. It wasn’t until her little sister Eugenie married longtime sweetheart Brooksbank in October 2018 that royal watchers thought to ask the royal, “Hey, what’s this it until?”

The answer turned out to be to fall in love. In the fall of 2018, Beatrice, currently ninth to the British throne, got to know or, rather, reconnected with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, a 38-year-old millionaire real estate developer and son of an Italian count.
