A new report claims part of the reason for the delay surrounding Princess Beatrice’s upcoming wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi is due to Prince Philip’s ailing health.
Buckingham Palace this week confirmed that Bea and her property tycoon beau will wed on May 29, in what is being dubbed a very low-key and private affair.

A message on the royal family’s Instagram page confirmed the highly-anticipated news.
“The wedding of HRH Princess Beatrice of York and Mr. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will take place on Friday 29 May 2020.”
“The couple became engaged in Italy in September 2019.”
“The Queen has kindly given permission for the ceremony to take place at The Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace.”
“The ceremony will be followed by a private reception, given by The Queen, in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.”
Express.co.uk is now reporting that the pair wanted to say their vows abroad, but had to scrap the plans due to Philip and Queen Elizabeth’s health conditions.
The report comes weeks after Bea’s grandfather spent four days in hospital over Christmas. Meanwhile, Her Majesty scrapped a royal engagement in January due to health issues.
This left Bea and Edo with no other option but to hold the wedding in the UK.
In related news, Beatrice’s father Prince Andrew’s role in the wedding to has been revealed.
Now a royal insider has revealed to The Daily Telegraph that her father, the Duke of York, will take part in the wedding after missing the celeb-filled engagement party, because of the uproar surrounding his friendship with deceased paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.
The wedding will not be broadcast on television like her sister Princess Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank.
