Has Princess Beatrice's boyfriend Edo – who has a child – proposed today on her birthday?

Princess Beatrice is celebrating the first year of her 30s today.

The 31-year-old Princess of York is likely to be spending the day with her family and friends.

One of these people may well be her boyfriend Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

How long have the couple been together? Could he be planning to propose on her birthday today?

Princess Beatrice wedding rumours have been swirling for a while, and she watched her younger sister wed her longterm boyfriend Jack Brooksbank in October 2018. 

Princess Eugenie and Jack wed at St George’s Chapel in a stunning autumn ceremony attended by the Queen and other senior royals.

Since, many have been wondering when Beatrice will tie the knot. She is currently dating a family friend, who is he?

Beatrice is dating a man named Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 36.

It is said that the pair are likely to tie the knot soon, with bookmakers suspending betting on whether the couple will get engaged soon.

Katie Nicholl, a royal correspondent for Vanity Fair and author of Harry Life Loss and Love, reported a friend as saying: “They are very happy and in love. Sources predict that an engagement may not be far off.”

The pair met many years ago, as their parents are friends. Edo’s step-father Christopher Shale was a close friend of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew.

However, Beatrice and Edo were first spotted together in March, leaving London celebrity haunt Annabel’s in a cab.

Edoardo is an Italian businessman. The multi-millionaire established his real estate firm Banda 12 years ago in 2007 and has served as CEO since then.

The organisation builds homes under the philosophy to “design for living”, and delivers lavish homes for wealthy clients.

Edoardo also established the charity Cricket Builds Hope (CBH) following his stepfather’s death.

Mr Mozzi built his charity on the roots of Christopher Shale’s Rwanda Cricket Stadium Foundation, which founded the country’s first grass cricket ground.

News of Princess Beatrice’s new diet also prompted suspicions of a wedding in the near future. 

According to Plant Based News the royal has taken on a new ethical and sustainable diet.

According to the vegan news outlet Beatrice has stopped eating meat and diary.

She is the latest celebrity to adopt the diet, which is becoming more and more popular due, in part, to recent climate change protests.

The publication reported on sources who told the Mail on Sunday about Beatrice’s new diet.

The royal line of succession – who outranks who?

The line of succession to the British throne dictates the order in which each member of the Royal Family would ascend to the throne.

It is also seen as a ranking of importance with the head of the line, the Queen, taking the place of ruler.

Older children come before younger children. Traditionally boys came before girls, but this law was changed on 26 March 2015 before the birth of Prince William’s first child.

Incredibly, Catholics are still excluded from the line of succession, as are children born outside of wedlock.

The royals, who usually stick to a strict protocol when appearing in public, often arrive at events in ascending order of importance, with the most important royal arriving last.

Prince Charles, 70, is currently second-in-line to the British throne, followed by Prince William, 37, his oldest son.

Then comes Prince William’s children, George, five, Charlotte, three, and Louis, almost one, and they are followed by Prince Harry, 37.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s child Archie Harrison comes next. He is followed by Prince Andrew, Duke of York, then Princess Beatrice of York and Princess Eugenie of York.
