Princess Beatrice marries Italian property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in secret ceremony at Windsor Castle attended by the Queen - weeks after their May wedding was postponed due to Covid-19

Princess Beatrice has married Italian property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in a secret ceremony at Windsor Castle.
The couple were due to tie the knot at the Chapel Royal of St James's Palace at the end of May. But their ceremony was postponed due to Covid-19 and no new date was given by the palace at the time.  
It is thought the couple exchanged vows today at the Royal Chapel of All Saints, in the grounds of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's home of Royal Lodge, in Windsor Great Park.
The bride's grandparents the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, who have both been in isolation at Windsor Castle, were in attendance. Photos show Her Majesty looking resplendent in green as she left Royal Lodge today. 
It is thought the bride's parents, Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York, were both invited to the intimate wedding. It is not known whether her younger sister Princess Eugenie, 30, and brother-in-law Jack Brooksbank were present.

Weddings of up to 30 people can take place under current government guidelines. 
Beatrice, the Duke of York's eldest daughter and the Queen's granddaughter, was set to marry Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on May 29 this year. 
The ceremony for 150 guests was set to take place in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace in London, with a lavish reception planned for the garden of Buckingham Palace. The couple announced that they were 'postponing' their big day shortly after the government announced the UK's lockdown on March 23rd.
Princess Beatrice spent lockdown with Edo and future mother-in-law Nikki Shale at her £1.5 million country house near Chipping Norton. 
Nikki split with Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi when Edo was young, while her second husband Christopher Shale, a senior Tory and a close friend of former prime minister David Cameron, died of a heart attack at Glastonbury Festival in 2011.  
She used to run a property company and was awarded an MBE by David Cameron as a parting gift following his resignation at Prime Minister in 2016.
