Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi has been an official member of the Firm ever since he secretly wed Princess Beatrice in Windsor on Friday 17 July 2020.
While few details have been released about their special day, we're sure it was one to remember, even if it was not the ceremony or celebration they had originally planned after their May nuptials were postponed due to COVID-19.
Despite the setback, the couple surprised everyone when it was revealed that they had exchanged vows at The Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor, where the late Queen, Prince Philip and close family were in attendance. The couple had originally planned to say "I do" in the Chapel Royal at St. James's Palace in London and Her Majesty was set to host a private reception afterward in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.
But now that Edoardo has married into one of the most famous families in the world, and since welcomed a daughter with Princess Beatrice, what else do we know about him? Keep reading to find out…
Who is Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi?
Edoardo is the CEO and founder of a property development and interior design company named Banda, based in London.
Edoardo's property development and interior design company
The company specialises in finding and developing homes for wealthy clients. He comes from a family of real estate developers, and his father Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi, 69, descends from Italian aristocracy.
The Italian businessman previously revealed to the New York Times that he knew from a young age that he wanted to go into property development. "I spent my childhood being dragged around to see sites. I used my holidays to do ten to 15 internships with developers and property banks and legal firms and agencies, so I felt I had the big picture of the property sector."
Edoardo's charity
Edoardo is also the co-founder of Cricket Builds Hope, a charity organisation that teaches Rwandans how to play cricket. It was inspired by the vision of his late stepfather, who passed in 2011.
