With the UK battling the COVID-19 outbreak, Princess Beatrice has become one of the many brides forced to cancel her wedding.
However, the royal has been given a cruel nickname which seems uncalled for during these troubling times.
WATCH: Princess Beatrice labelled ‘the unluckiest princess in the world’
The eldest daughter of Prince Andrew has been labelled the “unluckiest princess in the world” following her cancelled nuptials to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
With the wedding called off, a royal source revealed Bea and Edoardo intended to use marquees and portaloos from the Buckingham Palace garden parties in May for their own reception.
However, as the coronavirus crisis escalated, these items were no longer available.
A source told The Sun: “The fact they won’t be available was a factor but the main reason is the safety of the guests.
“There were only going to be 150 guests at the wedding but double that amount at the reception. It was just too risky.
“The Queen had to be there and it wasn’t fair to put her in danger at the age of 94.
On New Idea’s podcast Royals, host Zoe Burrell and royal commentator, Angela Mollard, discussed how devastated Beatrice must be at this troubling time on a recent episode.
“Princess Beatrice must be the unluckiest princess in the world,” said Zoe.
“What is happening with her wedding now?”
Angela responded: “There has been no official announcement but there has been constant reporting about the fact she has cancelled her wedding.
“There were a lot of questions on whether she was going to go ahead with her wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
“At this stage, it is looking like they are going to postpone it until 2021 rather than go ahead with a very quick and short wedding.”
Of course, Ange admitted that this comes after what has surely been a very trying time for the young royal.
“This poor woman has had to delay her wedding twice because of the scandal surrounding her father Prince Andrew,” Angela said. “Now she is having to postpone it yet again.”
Indeed, Angela claimed that this will be upsetting for Beatrice, who was likely thinking of starting a family shortly after her wedding.
“She, of course, is 31, her fiancé is 36. He already has a child, a young boy,” she says.
“I can imagine that Beatrice will be wanting to have children and move quite quickly on with married life. She must feel so devastated that her plans are in disarray at this stage.”
