It seems like yesterday Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi tied the knot in a surprise private ceremony in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The young couple was forced to cancel their large-scale ceremony due to the restrictions enacted in the wake of the pandemic and instead held a smaller, but just as sweet, event to celebrate on July 17th, 2020.

One year on, Edo was clearly feeling very sentimental.

He penned a sweet tribute post to his wife with a selfie pic of them from what we presume was a hike – beautiful rolling hills are seen in the background.

Edo captioned the pic: “I can’t believe it has been 1 year. Every second of every day since has been so full of joy, happiness, laughter and love. You are the kindest, loveliest, and most beautiful person in the world. Thank you my darling for every second.”

Of course, Edo’s post gives us the perfect reason to reminisce on those gorgeous first pics, which featured Beatrice in her stunning dress, which was borrowed from the Queen herself.

The vintage Norman Hartnell design was last seen on Her Majesty back in 1967 for the State Opening of Parliament.

And even more specially, Beatrice wore the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara, which was also loaned to her by Queen Elizabeth II.

The very special headpiece was previously worn by The Queen on her own wedding day in 1947.

The newlyweds have also had plenty to celebrate within their first year of marriage.

Earlier in 2021, Beatrice and Edo announced they were expecting their first child together, due to arrive in the British autumn.

In 2022, for their second wedding anniversary, celebrations were kept down low, the lovebirds presumably enjoying each others company as they marked the special milestone. 

One year on, just weeks away from their daughter Sienna’s second birthday, Edoardo took to his Instagram to pen a heartfelt tribute to his wife. 

“Happy wedding anniversary to the most beautiful wife in the world. I am so grateful for every moment we have shared, every challenge we have overcome, and every dream we have pursued together. I love you more than words can say, and I can’t wait to celebrate many more anniversaries with you. Xx”

Sarah, Duchess of York also celebrated the occasion, taking to her Instagram to share a tribute to her daughter and son-in-law. 

“Happy anniversary to my magical daughter and wonderful son-in-law,” the 63-year-old penned. 

“You are the most amazing parents to my beautiful grandchildren. Your love knows no bounds.” 

“As your mother, Beatrice,” Fergie added, “It warms my heart and gives me peace knowing you got your fairytale.”

Awwww!
