Princess Beatrice is celebrating her 32nd birthday as a married woman after secretly marrying Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi last month.
Beatrice wore a tiara and vintage dress generously lent to her by her grandmother.
The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, 99, joined Prince Andrew, 60, at the scaled-down Covid-secure wedding with around 20 guests.
The Queen’s granddaughter and millionaire property developer Edo were due to get hitched at the Chapel Royal, at St James’s Palace, in London, with 150 guests, in May.
Instead, a select group gathered for a more intimate ceremony this morning, with strict social distancing measures in place, Buckingham Palace confirmed.
