Royal relationships are typically the greatest display of a royal balancing act between personal affection and public duties.Where the most senior royals rarely engage in any displays of public affection, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have carved out a love story that feels refreshingly modern.
Having welcomed their second daughter, Athena, earlier this year, their intensely close bond remains a testament to their unapologetic love story - something rarely seen among royal couples.

Edoardo in particular is no stranger to sharing his love for Beatrice with the world. Whether it’s heartfelt Instagram tributes, affectionate moments captured at public events, or the way he beams at her in candid photographs, his devotion is undeniable.
Their love story defies the reserved nature of royal marriages, proving that even within the monarchy, romance can be raw, real, and beautifully unfiltered.

But what makes their love so different from their royal family members? HELLO!'s host of A Right Royal Podcast, Andrea Caamano,explains: "Royals have been exposed to the media for years, so it’s completely understandable that when it comes to their love or home life, they try to keep that out of the public eye.
"Princess Beatrice has been remarkably consistent in not giving away details of her private life - she kept her wedding a secret, we barely see her children, and her social media is limited to family and friends."
