Like her younger sister, Princess Eugenie, Beatrice has also married in Windsor but rather than hosting the ceremony at St George's Chapel, she chose the more private Royal Chapel of All Saints. The Grade II-listed church is located close to the Princess' childhood home, Royal Lodge Windsor, where Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have all been isolating during the coronavirus lockdown.
Beatrice and Edoardo were originally meant to tie the knot on 29 May 2020 but had to postpone their nuptials amid the coronavirus pandemic. They announced their engagement in September 2019 after the groom-to-be proposed with a bespoke diamond ring, designed by Mayfair atelier Shaun Leane, during a romantic getaway in Italy.
