Princess Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on Friday morning at Windsor Castle and life is about to change for Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew's eldest daughter.
Not only has she now inherited titles from her husband's side of the family, becoming an Italian 'Contessa' or 'Nobile Donna' (noble woman), but from now on she will no longer be styled as Princess Beatrice of York.

WATCH: Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are now married!
Following the nuptials, just like her sister Princess Eugenie did after her 2018 wedding, Beatrice will drop "of York" and be styled as HRH Princess Beatrice.
HELLO! spoke to Marlene Koenig, expert on British and European royalty, who revealed the reasons why.
"It is a 'tradition' that began with Princess Alexandra of Kent in 1963, when she married the Hon. Angus Ogilvy, younger son of the Earl of Airlie. She dropped of Kent and became HRH Princess Alexandra, the Hon. Mrs. Angus Ogilvy after the wedding. When Angus was created a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in December 1988, Alexandra became styled as HRH Princess Alexandra, the Hon. Lady Ogilvy," she explained. "Princess Eugenie is HRH Princess Eugenie, Mrs. Jack Brooksbank and I expect Beatrice to be styled as HRH Princess Beatrice, Mrs. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi," Marlene clarified.
