Updated: Aug 18, 2023
Princess Beatrice of York, granddaughter of Queen Elisabeth II and ninth in the line of succession to the throne of the Commonwealth Kingdoms, announced her engagement to the Italian Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on September 26, 2019, and everything indicates that her marriage will run away the standards of British royalty.
The differences begin with the fact that the royal wedding will not be broadcast on television, which had become tradition, the carriage procession will also be avoided.
Anyway, there are already some news and predictions about engagement and marriage.
When will the ceremony take place?
It is still not known for sure when the marriage ceremony of Princess Beatrice and Edoardo will take place, it has only been announced that it will take place in 2020.
According to the Daily Mail website, there are predictions that point out that the wedding can be held in the first half of June and the expectation is that the royals will announce the exact date between January and February.
According to reports provided to the UK press, Princess Beatrice is already busy with preparations for the ceremony, which should be much simpler than that of her sister, Eugenie, and her cousins, William and Harry.
Where will the wedding take place?
Once again, official data have not yet been released, it is likely that even the bride and groom have not yet decided, as the couple said they are looking for alternative locations for this very special date. Even though Edoardo Mozzi is Italian, the wedding will take place in England, as Queen Elisabeth II can no longer travel by plane, due to her age.
Therefore, one can imagine that the engagement would take place at St. George's Chapel, in Windsor, where the last three royal weddings took place. However, it seems that the couple prefers a more intimate ceremony and should look for another environment.
It is likely that the exact location will be released along with the official wedding date.
