Due to coronavirus many couples across the globe who were set to marry had to put their wedding plan on hold, and that even included members of the British royal family.
Princess Beatrice was set to marry her fiancee UK property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on May 29 in the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace, but this was postponed due to lockdown restrictions.
However, given many restrictions across the UK, and the rest of the world, have slowly started to lift, it was revealed the Queen’s granddaughter wed Edoardo over the weekend.
Buckingham Palace announced the couple wed at The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor.

Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh attended, along with other close family members. The palace confirmed that around 20 guests attended the ceremony.
In photos published to the official royal family Twitter page, Beatrice is seen in her stunning vintage wedding dress by Norman Hartnell and the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara, which both belong to her grandmother, the Queen.
The tiara was worn by Her Majesty on her wedding day in 1947.
As of July 4 in the UK, small weddings of up to 30 guests are permitted. Prior to this in March a ban on all weddings and gatherings was put in place due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Princess Beatrice and her new husband began dating in Autumn 2018, and announced their engagement in September last year.
