Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have been the picture of marital bliss ever since they wed in a private ceremony at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor, in July 2020.
The couple have also since become parents to their daughter Sienna Elizabeth whom they welcomed in September 2021, and Beatrice is also a stepmother to Edoardo's son, Christopher 'Wolfie' Woolf from his previous relationship with Dara Huang.
So it's safe to say that the husband and wife have had a fantastic few years embarking on marriage and family life.

The proposal
The finer details of the proposal are kept under wraps, however, it was confirmed at the time that Edoardo got down on one knee and proposed.
According to MailOnline, the royal couple were said to have stayed at the £3,000-a-night Le Sirenuse Hotel in Positano on the Amalfi Coast, though neither party have confirmed this. The report states that Edoardo proposed on the stunning terrace at the luxury Italian hotel overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.
An official statement released at the time read: "Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi became engaged in Italy earlier this month. The wedding will take place in 2020. This photograph was taken by Princess Eugenie in Italy.
"Princess Beatrice and Mr. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi said: 'We are extremely happy to be able to share the news of our recent engagement. We are both so excited to be embarking on this life adventure together and can’t wait to be married."

Edoardo worked with British jeweller Shaun Leane to design Princess Beatrice's dream ring, in a process the jewellery designer told HELLO! took four months.
Although it was originally thought to be a 3.5-carat gem with a reported cost of £78,000, engagement ring specialist Max Stone at Steven Stone has estimated its value is much higher at £130-140,000.
Max previously said of Princess Beatrice's ring: "A six-claw round diamond takes centre stage, which looks to be around 3 carats.

It is not dissimilar to the Duchess of Sussex's engagement ring from Prince Harry, which follows a trilogy design. The central diamond is also sourced from Botswana, like Beatrice's, while it is flanked on either side by two smaller jewels from Princess Diana's personal collection.

Meanwhile, Her Majesty's art deco ring from the late Duke of Edinburgh is also flanked by diamond panels created from his mother Princess Alice of Battenburg's tiara.
It is reportedly the most valuable of them all, worth £207,000 according to Max.

Princess Beatrice and Edoardo married in July 2020. At the time, the country was in the grips of the coronavirus pandemic, therefore government-enforced restrictions meant they could only have a maximum of 30 guests in attendance.

They tied the knot at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge with Their Late Majesties, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in attendance.
