Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, wed on July 17 at Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge at Windsor in a secret ceremony, attended only by their close family, including Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
The duo had originally planned a much larger royal wedding, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic they had to change their originally planned nuptials. But that didn’t stop them from making their day special.
Beatrice chose a wedding dress with sentimental value! The stunning vintage Norman Hartnell dress was on loan from the Queen who first wore it in 1962 to the London premiere of “Lawrence of Arabia.” At the premiere, the Queen dazzled in the Norman Hartnell number and hobnobbed with Hollywood heavyweight, Peter O’Toole!
Beatrice also donned and the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara, which Queen Elizabeth wore to her own wedding to Prince Philip back in 1947!
