They shared photos showing Beatrice’s ring, which Edoardo designed in collaboration with the British jewelry designer Shaun Leane.

“We are both so excited to be embarking on this life adventure together,” the couple said in a statement at the time. “We share so many similar interests and values, and we know that this will stand us in great stead for the years ahead, full of love and happiness.”

They had originally planned to marry in May, but this changed due to the COVID-19 lockdown.

Princess Beatrice is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York.

Prince Andrew was present at the wedding, but notably absent from her engagement party. He’s stayed out of the public eye since stepping down from royal duties since his proximity to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein  came to light. 

Beatrice’s sister, Princess Eugenie , married Jack Brooksbank at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle in October 2018.
