Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi's wedding is dated to happen on May 29. The venue of the reception will reportedly be hosted by Queen Elizabeth II inside the Buckingham Palace.
As reported, the couple's engagement, as well as their upcoming wedding, has been filled with tons of controversies and "dramas" these past few months. After Prince Andrew's "disastrous" interview, which was followed by the Sussex couple's shocking royal exit announcement, they are now facing the unfortunate COVID-19 outbreak in Europe.
This is why many royal commentators and fans have been concluding that Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi might end up canceling their wedding this coming spring. Although no confirmations have been shared yet, several sources are certain that this is likely to happen.
According to Express UK, the COVID-19 cases in Europe have gotten a lot worse in recent weeks. Not to mention, the continent has been already deemed to be the new "epicenter" of the virus outbreak.
In Italy, where the rest of the Mapelli Mozzis resides, nearly 13,000 individuals have tested positive for the virus. It was said that the death toll has already reached more than 1,000.
In the United Kingdom, recent data has shown that the number of deaths due to COVID-19 has doubled within 24 hours. As of today, 1,140 individuals have already contracted the virus and 21 deaths have been declared.
It was shared by various reports that the number of cases will further increase in the European continent in the next few days. While the United Kingdom has not yet announced any lockdown, Italy has already closed its borders after announcing the country's full lockdown last week.
As added by Mirror UK, if Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi decide to push through with the wedding, there is a huge chance that Edo's family won't make it to the ceremony and reception. The same is also true for the royal-born Princess as Buckingham Palace now reportedly prepares for an "emergency lockdown."
While some royal experts contend that the European countries' respective lockdowns may not last until the month of May, it was assumed that the public, especially Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi's guests, might not still attend the event. This also reportedly largely applies to the elderly, which includes the 93-year-old Queen Elizabeth II and 98-year-old Prince Philip.
Several royal fans have shared their thoughts on various social media platforms. Based on the general reception, they feel truly sad and sorry for the couple as they have already gone through a lot since their engagement last September.
