In September, Buckingham Palace announced Princess Beatrice will be marrying millionaire property typhoon Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2020. The pair have released only the scarcest of details of their big day and fans are clamouring to hear more about where Bea and Edo pick for their wedding venue, reception location and who’s on the guest list.
Edo proposed to Beatrice as the pair holidayed in Italy in early September.
In a statement, the couple said: “We are extremely happy to be able to share the news of our recent engagement.
“We are both so excited to be embarking on this life adventure together and can’t wait to be married.
“We share so many similar interests and values and we know this will stand us in great stead for the years ahead, full of love and happiness.”

Before Beatrice was in a relationship with Edoardo, she had been with Dave Clark for 10 years.
Virgin Galactic businessman Dave and Bea began dating in 2006, and Prince William reportedly introduced the pair at Sean Brosnan’s – the son of actor Piers Brosnan – birthday party.
However, it was reportedly the birth of Prince William’s daughter Princess Charlotte which may have had a part in the end of Dave and Beatrice’s relationship.
When Charlotte was born, she pushed Beatrice down the line of succession to seventh.

This meant Dave would not have to ask the Queen for permission to marry Bea.
The year that followed saw Dave fail to propose to his girlfriend of 10 years, and Bea reportedly gave him an ultimatum.
The couple then split amicably in 2016.
Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew, who were said to “adore” Dave, were reported to be “completely shocked” by the break-up.
Other reports revealed Prince William changed his opinion on Dave over the years.
In fact, William did not invite Dave to his 2011 wedding to Kate Middleton, as he reportedly had worried he was “indiscreet”.
Prince William is known for not tolerating breaches of confidence with one friend saying of William: “You can forget it if you abuse his trust”.
In 2015 source told the Daily Mail: “William isn’t a huge fan of Dave.
“It’s fair to say that if Beatrice had asked the Queen for permission to marry Dave, and she, in turn, asked William privately for his view, she may not have been given a glowing report.
“Dave is a nice guy and he makes Beatrice happy, which is important.
“But William has always been wary of him.
“There is a clash of personalities.”
