Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are celebrating five years of marriage, and have shared their joy with fans and followers worldwide.
The usually private couple marked their milestone with a rare and joy-filled photo shared to social media on Thursday (Friday morning AEST), showing the pair beaming barefoot on a beach in Scotland. The relaxed, sunlit snap captured a makeup-free Beatrice and a smiling Edoardo wrapped in each other’s arms, radiating happiness.
“Happy 5th Anniversary to my incredible partner, the most beautiful and amazing wife,” Edoardo wrote in a heartfelt caption. “I cherish every moment we’ve spent together and am deeply grateful for our journey. Here’s to countless more years filled with laughter and tons of love!”
It’s unclear whether the photo is from a current getaway or a cherished memory from a previous trip, but the sentiment is timeless.

The couple were married on July 17, 2020, in an intimate ceremony at The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor. Held during the tail end of COVID-19 lockdowns, the wedding included only close family, among them the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
Since tying the knot, the pair have quietly grown into a loving family of five. Princess Beatrice became the first British royal to take on the role of stepmother, helping raise Edoardo’s son, Christopher “Woolfie” Woolf, from a previous relationship. They’ve since welcomed two daughters: Sienna, born in September 2021, and baby Athena, born prematurely earlier this year.
While the royal couple have chosen to keep their young daughters out of the public eye, their anniversary moment has given fans a rare glimpse into the warmth and joy of their private life.
Here’s to many more happy years ahead for the modern royal family.
