A new report is speculating as to who will walk Princess Beatrice down the aisle, following news she is set to marry Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in May.
Express.co.uk ran a report questioning whether Bea’s mother Sarah ‘Fergie’ Ferguson will walk her daughter down the aisle after her father Prince Andrew stepped down from royal duties following criticism around his friendship with disgraced paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

However a royal expert has revealed that the Duke of York will indeed be walking Beatrice down the aisle.
Royal correspondent Rebecca English tweeted: “Prince Andrew will give his daughter away, it has been confirmed.”
Meanwhile, a source told PEOPLE that Bea is Andrew’s “greatest supporter”, despite all the controversy.
The source revealed: “I definitely think he will walk her down the aisle.”
Buckingham Palace finally confirmed that the royal and her property tycoon beau will wed on May 29, in what is being described as a low-key affair.
A message on the royal family’s Instagram page read: “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.”
Unfortunately, Beatrice’s big day will be nothing like her younger sister Prince Eugenie’s lavish and televised affair.
“There certainly won’t be a carriage ride around the streets,” royal expert Phil Dampier revealed.
“The public wouldn’t want it because of Andrew, the cost – and also because they spent $63 million on Harry and Meghan’s wedding and now they have decamped to Canada!”
The royal expert even suggested to the Mirror that the couple may go so far as to take their wedding behind closed doors.
“Andrew is so toxic at the moment, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s going to be a private wedding with a couple of photos released afterwards.”
