Who is Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and what is his net worth?
The 38-year-old is a multi-millionaire, having made his money in property development.
He founded his property consultancy Banda, or “big shed” in Swahili, in 2007.
Mozzi specialises in discreetly finding and developing multi-million pound homes for rich clients.
He also has a son aged two named called Wolfie with Dara Huang, his ex-fiancee.
Princess Beatrice is therefore now a stepmother after the pair married in 2020.
Mozzi’s net worth is not known exactly, but he is believed to be a multi-millionaire.
Edoardo’s father – Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi – is a count (a historical title of nobility) and former alpine skier who competed for Great Britain in the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Japan.
His mother – Nikki Williams-Ellis – is married to the sculptor David Williams-Ellis.
She was previously married to Christopher Shale, one of ex-PM David Cameron’s late pals.
He died of natural causes at Glastonbury Festival in 2011.
How did the two meet?
The pair reportedly met in September 2018, about a month before Eugenie got married on October 12.
A friend told The Celeb Report: “Beatrice and Edo have the same circle of friends and were introduced through a mutual chum.
“They hit it off instantly and have a real laugh together. They’ve been on holiday together and Beatrice introduced him to Fergie and her dad.
“Things are moving very quickly and it wouldn’t surprise anyone if they got engaged within a short period of time.
“They could even be tying the knot in 2019 — it’s already been discussed by her friends.
“Everyone is thrilled that Bea is so happy and in such a good place right now.”
And the couple have enjoyed a string of cosy dates.
Beatrice had been single since splitting from her American boyfriend Dave Clark in 2016 after a decade together.
When did they get married?
The daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, got engaged to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in Italy in September 2019.
The wedding was due to take place on May 29, 2020, in the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace in front of 150 guests – but coronavirus saw it postponed.
It had been expected to be rescheduled for the following year.
However, in a secret ceremony at Windsor Castle, Beatrice and Edoardo married at last.
It was attended by just 20 guests, including the Queen, Prince Philip and her father Prince Andrew among others.
