Princess Beatrice has said her secret wedding was ‘so much fun’ in her first comments about her surprise summer nuptials.
The Queen’s granddaughter, 32, was due to marry Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 36, at St James’s Palace on 29 May but plans were postponed due to Covid-19 – and they instead tied the knot in a surprise secret ceremony at Windsor Castle on 17 July with just twenty guests.
The royal has now spoken out about the wedding for the first time as she appeared in a video for the Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice and announced the winners of the organisation’s Kids Summer Art Competition 2020.
In a video released on their Twitter page, Princess Beatrice said: ‘I had the chance to get married this summer and it was so much fun.’
