Princess Beatrice is going to have her wedding celebration at Buckingham Palace. However, her guests will apparently not be allowed to enter the palace premises on her upcoming wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on May 29.
According to Daily Mail, Princess Beatrice and Edo's wedding guests will only be allowed to stay at a designated "posh tent" at the Buckingham Palace gardens during their summer wedding. They will not be given permission to enter the palace premises nor be allowed to take photos inside the Queen's official residence even in the presence of the couple.
Royal correspondent Rebecca English said, on Twitter, that Princess Beatrice's wedding will be very different from the wedding of her sister, Princess Eugenie, to Jack Brooksbank in October 2018. The upcoming wedding will also be a far cry from the nuptials celebrated by Princess Beatrice's cousins, Prince Harry in May 2018, and Prince William in April 2011.
Princess Beatrice chose a tiny chapel near Buckingham Palace to accommodate just 150 guests compared to the thousands in past royal weddings. She is also doing away with the traditional royal carriage that brings the bride to the wedding ceremony. Her father, Prince Andrew, however, will, reportedly, walk her down the aisle and there are speculations that Princess Eugenie will be part of her wedding entourage.
However, the Queen gave Princess Beatrice Buckingham Palace gardens as her gift. Sources said that Her Majesty wanted to show support for her granddaughter after several bumpy months brought about by Prince Andrew's controversy.
Sources said that Princess Beatrice was "delighted and very grateful" to receive the Queen's present. The last time Her Majesty allowed the use of Buckingham Palace for a royal wedding was in 2011, when the second in line to throne Prince William married Kate Middleton.
Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice spent time off from her royal wedding preparations to enjoy a ski trip in Pakistan. Photos of the York princess were shared online, where she's meeting with some of Europe's former ministers, Jose Maria Aznar of Spain, and Matteo Renzi of Italy to plan out their ski trip.
This comes amid reports that U.K. has eased down on its travel advisory in Pakistan amid significant improvements in security. Princess Beatrice is expected to attend a skiing event in the country. She is the third member of the royal family to visit Pakistan in recent times. In October, Prince William and Kate were also in the region for a five-day visit.
