Princess Beatrice's wedding has been repeatedly delayed due to the royal issues that shook the royal family to its very core. Although Queen Elizabeth II has yet to reveal the official wedding date of her granddaughter, royal insiders claimed that they already knew when exactly Prince Andrew's daughter would get married.
Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi's engagement was announced last autumn. After that, fans were all waiting for the revelation of their wedding date, but it never happened.
Princess Beatrice was supposed to be the next royal to walk down the aisle after her sister, Princess Eugenie, tied the knot with Jack Brooksbank in 2018. As there was no news about their wedding date, royal insiders claimed that the date was already set and just yet to be revealed.
So, when the much-awaited wedding would happen? Sources close to Princess Beatrice and her fiancé revealed that their marriage would take place on May 29, The Sun noted. Royal insiders also claimed that the reception would be held at Buckingham Palace but the wedding's venue is yet to be confirmed.
According to Express, Princess Beatrice wanted a toned-down wedding compared to her sister's grand nuptial. It would be paid privately, unlike other recent royal wedding events that were publicly funded.
The scandal that Princess Beatrice's father, Prince Andrew, got involved to due to his link to the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was said to overshadow her daughter's wedding plans. The Duke of York stepped down from his official royal duties for the foreseeable future after his TV interview was met with a lot of criticisms.
When the issues about Prince Andrew died down, Queen Elizabeth was supposed to announce Princess Beatrice's wedding date last month. Still, it was once again overshadowed by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell announcement. As a deal was already crafted after the Sussexes' royal exit, Her Majesty is expected to announce a wedding date soon.
"The decision has been delayed repeatedly because of all the issues," a source said. "But, finally, they have something that seems to work - and barring any problems that should be when it goes ahead."
Queen Elizabeth, reportedly, asked everyone in the royal family to come together to put on a united front amdist all the royal issues. All of the palaces' press officers hope to make Princess Beatrice's wedding as an event that will bring the family back together after a series of problems it suffered. Although aides know it will be a tough job, it's the only thing that they can do to save the wedding and the monarchy's reputation.
