Princess Beatrice's husband has once again confirmed their marriage is smooth sailing in a rare, one-off interview. 

Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who married the eldest daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson in 2020, sat down for a Q&A session with The Gentleman's Journal this week.  

The father-of-three, 42, was asked "a few questions on life, style, and the people and places that matter to him" at a Long Summer Lunch Event at Blenheim Palace on Wednesday. 

Edo opened up about spending time in locations such as the Amalfi Coast, Mozambique, and London, before subtly putting any marriage rumours to rest when asked what his "perfect holiday" would be.
