Watch: Princess Beatrice cancels wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi
The bride-to-be was also reportedly left ‘heartbroken’ as her fiancé Edoardo ‘Edo’ Mapelli Mozzi and his ex Dara Huang reunited in London on Mother’s Day.
Posting to Instagram, Dara is seen holding her 3-year-old son Christopher, known as ‘Wolfie’, who she shares with tycoon Edo.
According to insiders, Edo’s close bond with the mother of his child has been a point of contention for the engaged couple.
