Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have a busy, jet-setting lifestyle, but it seems the royal couple, who wed in 2020, are more than embracing the peace and serenity of the English countryside.
Beatrice, who recently turned 36, and her husband, 40, decided to root themselves down in the Cotswolds when they purchased a sprawling farmhouse in 2021 estimated to be worth around £3.5 million.
The property is, naturally, extremely private and they have never shown photos of their home before. However, it's certainly likely that it's a spectacle of beauty, thanks to Edoardo's credentials as a luxury property development and interior design business owner.

Beatrice and Edoardo live at home with their daughter Sienna, who they welcomed in 2021, and no doubt spend lots of time there with Edoardo's eldest child, Christoper Woolf, known as Wolfie, whom he shares with his ex-partner, Dara Huang.

Beatrice and Edoardo's farmhouse is ideal for the couple.
Not only does the countryside offer them respite from the hustle and bustle of the city, but it also provides them with acres of outdoor space for the whole family to make the most of.

Away from the main house, the pair are also fortunate enough to have an outdoor swimming pool – perfect for Sienna and Wolfie to play in when the warm weather allows – and tennis courts.
Much like Beatrice's cousin, Zara Tindall and her husband Mike, Beatrice and Edoardo have also made the most of a separate outhouse building being used as a 'party barn' for when they want to host celebratory bashes for the whole family.

The Cotswolds is a fantastic choice of location for the married couple. As mentioned, Beatrice's cousins Zara and Mike are neighbours, and with Beatrice's parents, Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew, residing at Royal Lodge in Windsor, it's less than two hours away by car from the grandparents.
What's more, Edoardo's parents are said to reside in the Cotswolds so the couple are close by Sienna and Wolfie's paternal grandparents.

Simon Cowell and his fiancée Lauren Silverman recently purchased a home there, and actress Elizabeth Hurley also owns a mansion worth £6 million in the area.

Prior to living in the Cotswolds, Beatrice and Edoardo resided at an apartment at St James Palace. Their private living quarters at the royal residence included a cosy lounge with burnt orange walls and a large fireplace where Beatrice had showcased a photo from her wedding day with Edoardo, and a vase of pampas grass in one corner.

Away from the UK, Edoardo's family are the owners of the luxury Italian estate, Villa Mapelli Mozzi. The residence, which has been a part of the family's estate since the 13th century, sits in Ponte San Pietro, a small town an hour's drive from Lake Como, Italy.
