Princess Beatrice and fiancé Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are currently adjusting plans for their summer wedding. The royal couple were meant to tie the knot at the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace followed by a reception in the gardens of Buckingham Palace on 29th May.
In light of recent events regarding the spread of the Coronavirus, Buckingham Palace has released a statement regarding going forward with the ceremony. “Princess Beatrice and Mr. Mapelli Mozzi are very much looking forward to getting married but are equally aware of the need to avoid undertaking any unnecessary risks in the current circumstances.”
“In line with government advice for the UK and beyond, the couple are reviewing their arrangements for 29th May,” the statement read. The announcement didn’t reveal any plans for the wedding regarding whether or not it will be postponed to next year or if the couple are choosing a smaller ceremony. Buckingham Palace Gardens, however, will no longer be the reception venue.
“They are particularly conscious of government advice in relation to both the wellbeing of older family members and large gatherings of people. Therefore, the planned reception in the Buckingham Palace Gardens will not take place. The couple will carefully consider government advice before deciding whether a private marriage might take place amongst a small group of family and friends.”
