Amid the problems within the royal family, Queen Elizabeth apparently made the grand gesture of offering Buckingham Palace for her granddaughter Princess Beatrice. The York royal is set to marry her Italian fiancé, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, by May 29.
Reports stated that Queen Elizabeth offered for Princess Beatrice and Edo to have their wedding reception in Buckingham. The last time a royal wedding event took place in the Queen's official home was in 2011, when Prince William and Kate Middleton exchanged vows.
Princess Beatrice was reportedly very delighted and grateful to accept the Queen's offer. However, Buckingham has yet to actually confirm the actual wedding date.
Sources said that Princess Beatrice will marry Edo on May 29. The couple, however, haven't made anything official as of press time because they, reportedly, could not lock down a wedding ceremony venue.
Princess Beatrice's wedding isn't expected to have a live coverage. BBC and ITV, apparently, stated that it will cover the wedding in their news but the media outlets will not have a live feed.
The York princess, however, doesn't seem to mind that there will be no fanfare to her royal wedding. Sources said that Princess Beatrice, who is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, is a shy and private person unlike her sister, Princess Eugenie, who married to Jack Brooksbank in October 2018. ITV had a live coverage of this particular wedding.
Meanwhile, in the midst of her wedding preparation, Princess Beatrice announced that the charity she founded with six of her friends, Big Change, is coming up with new projects. This initiative aims to address problems in education by working with different groups to come up with leadership programs for the youth.
The charity is also partnering with Lighthouse, which aims to give underprivileged kids the same opportunities in education like everyone else. In a statement, Big Change underscored that education is everyone's business and educators can empower future leaders in business, governments, and even people who become agents of change.
Princess Beatrice established Big Change in 2012. She and her friends undertook their first fundraiser that same year with the initiative called The Big Climb.
Royal experts said that Princess Beatrice, as well as her sister Princess Eugenie, might soon be called upon by Buckingham Palace to help with future royal engagements. With their father Prince Andrew and cousins Prince Harry and Meghan scaling down their work, the York sisters could be asked to help the royal family in its official functions.
