Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank seem to have a good marriage. They dated for years, they seem well-matched and Jack has always worked and done his own thing. Several years back, he got a great job in Portugal which came with the added benefit of his own family home in a wider luxury resort/complex. Eugenie now splits her time between Portugal and England, and she seems to have one foot out the door of royal life. Princess Beatrice is another story altogether. She was basically set up with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who quickly left his fiancee and baby-mother Dara for Beatrice. They had a rushed pandemic wedding and Edo always seemed to enjoy “being married to a princess” and the added visibility that came alongside that. Well, the visibility has taken a turn in the past year, and now there are rumors that Edo and Beatrice’s marriage is suffering because of it. It seems like Edo has been far from England for the past month and a half as well.
Princess Beatrice’s husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi has fled the UK for an exclusive American island resort while the York sisters grapple with the fallout surrounding their parents. Mapelli Mozzi, 42, has reportedly been spending time at the Fisher Island Club, an ultra-exclusive enclave off the coast of Miami, Florida. Accessible only by ferry or private yacht, the island has attracted A-list residents including Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey and Mel Brooks.
The husband of Princess Beatrice, 37, shared glimpses of his visit on Instagram this week, posting images from the beach as well as footage from a building site. On Wednesday, his Instagram Stories included video filmed from a small plane flying above the island.
It is understood the father-of-three travelled to Florida in a professional capacity to speak on a panel at Palm Beach Design Days, which ran from January 27 to 30. On February 6, his interior design firm Banda posted a video montage from the trip on Instagram, featuring the text “Life is not a movie” over a sequence of images and footage. Four days later, the account shared a “recap” post highlighting Mapelli Mozzi’s time in Miami and Palm Beach. Princess Beatrice does not appear in any of the posts, and it remains unclear whether she or their children- Christopher ‘Woolfie’ Woolf, nine, Sienna, four, and Athena, one- accompanied him on the trip.
It is understood Mapelli Mozzi has been making frequent trips to and from the United States since the beginning of the year.
His latest visit comes at a particularly difficult time for Beatrice, whose father, the former Duke of York Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was recently arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Behind the scenes, the scandal is reportedly causing unease within Mapelli Mozzi’s own family. The property developer comes from Italian aristocracy, and his parents are believed to be deeply concerned about the reputational fallout.
According to New Idea, they are said to be “beside themselves” and “furious” that their son has become “wrapped up in the York wreckage”. There are also fears that the ongoing controversy could damage Mapelli Mozzi’s luxury interior design business.
“Edo loves Beatrice, of course, and has no plans to leave, not with two young daughters. But his family are not so compassionate and is preparing for the worst,” a friend of Mapelli Mozzi told New Idea. “Andrew’s arrest could damage business prospects and family reputation. With more [email] releases to come, they want Edo away from that family entirely.”
When ex-Prince Andrew was arrested last month, people said that Beatrice was actually out of the country when it happened. Sources claimed that Beatrice and the kids were in Florida with Edo. Which I guess I believe, although I’m starting to wonder if Edo was already in Florida and Beatrice just flew out for a week for a family vacation, and then Edo just stayed there, in the Miami area. I also believe that Edo’s family is probably really upset with how this turned out. To be fair, it seems like Edo’s mother had a hand in putting Edo and Beatrice together – this was practically an arranged marriage. Edo thought his business would get a boost from marrying a princess. Instead, his father-in-law just got arrested and it looks like Edo wants to get the hell away from this entire sh-tshow.

Oh no it’s so annoying when the father of the Princess you married for self-promotion then becomes de-Royaled! It’s like it wasn’t even worth it…
I can’t remember but did they get married before or after the newsnight interview?
After! Think interview was 2019 and they married in 2020…
So it’s not like he and his family weren’t somewhat aware?
Exactly! And went right ahead anyway.
Hmmm…seems like a bit of karma coming for the “Italian aristocracy”…
I do feel compassion for Beatrice. She didn’t exactly read the room with Edo, did she? On the other hand, it’s not like she had role models for that skill….the point is that once a man learns how to leave (see first baby momma!), it just becomes easier and easier.
Also, armchair psychology…both Beatrice and Eugenie likely have trauma thanks to their horrible parents. But, I’m guessing that if there is any family that abhors therapy, it’s the BRF.
IDK, if Edo is looking to build his business in the US they may be looking at Harry and Meghan as role models.
How can he afford to stay on Fisher Island? Someone must be letting him stay at their place right? There’s been a few articles like this since January or maybe even before. It’s hard to tell what’s true and what’s the tabloids just picking at the Yorks.
Maybe it is just me but this feels like a non story.
– he is a property developer (legit or not, fine)
– he was there for work (photos on panel, photos at build site)
– he is going back and forth without his family.
– they occasionally visit.
I’m not rich and fancy but I have friends that travel for work and this is literally how ordinary lives are lived and how we pay the bills.
That’s how it reads to me too. He’s working. Isn’t that what we want?
Ditto the non-story for property developer / property search and design studio.
Noticed landing on the home page today shows several NYC apartments, couple of Euro hotels, Gulfstream Jet, and full-floor residences at Masthead Ocean Club, Australia. Maybe Sky News throwing pasta on the walls will yield a fully-cooked story, but maybe not. Not having been privy to breakup details with his former baby mama, I wouldn’t speculate on the state of his relationships, past, present or future.
Maybe they’re considering a move to the US if only temporarily to get out of the s**tstorm across the pond. It’s not like he can’t do luxury developement here. Not everyone lives in a shack in the back of beyond. 🙂 And they’d be a bit closer to H&M.
Oh, he “has no plans to leave, not with two young daughters.” His ex-fiance who he ditched with an even younger child would like a word.
Thank you for saying that because my first thought when reading this is that he had no qualms with living his fiancée and even young child when he suddenly dumped her for a princess.
The child was an infant when he moved on to Beatrice.
The child was four when he and Beatrice married. His ex was starting up an architectural firm in Hong Kong when they broke up so I think that relationship was over long before they made it official.
@NERD
Aside from the recent smear campaign against the York sisters, what do you expect from a man who’s dating you when his pregnant fiancée is on her last legs? It must have been, because the official announcement was made when the baby was still a baby. And somehow, Beatrice, neither the royal family nor the British media seemed to mind at the time; they were just tormenting Meghan, so now they should shut up.
As for Edo himself, there are two options, and both prove that Edo is a conman and a careerist who’s now getting what he deserves.
Option 1: He sniffed out an opportunity to join the royal family and dropped everything to seize it, even his beautiful, pregnant fiancée.
Option 2: He and his pregnant fiancée fully cooperated in taking advantage of the opportunity to join the royal family, which impacted both their business and their image. Much points to option 2, because a truly abandoned pregnant woman would likely distance herself from such a man. As soon as his and Bea’s relationship became official, she gave numerous interviews, praised the royals, and her son frequently attended royal events. So everyone benefited from the arrangement.
Therefore, I wouldn’t be surprised if Edo left, quietly for now, and when he finds a suitable replacement, it would be official.
Well, at least Bea would avoid comments about her younger sister getting married and her not, being a divorcee, not a “spinster,” and having children. That’s another benefit. And she might meet someone nice, without the desperation.
@Black Elderberry – the truth is in there somewhere, but he does strike me as a chap who’ll always look out for number one – himself.
Hope it isn’t true, as desperately sorry for all the children involved and for Beatrice. Knowing or suspecting all this must be tearing her to bits, and that’s in addition to the reduced contact with her parents. The image persists from a few years ago of her walking back up the hill to Windsor Castle, post-St George’s chapel service (Easter?), arms linked with Fergie.
Wow! Edo sounds like a real prince, doesn’t he?
If it has to be explicitly stated like that, it’s a red flag, isn’t it? Note what is not said, which is “He wouldn’t dream of leaving because they have a strong marriage, a loving bond and a bright future”.
He always looked very self satisfied, I watched a video of him on YouTube of him talking up one of his properties that he was selling.
That man is gay – I don’t care what people say. Yes I know he has Italian background (hence the fashion choices) and a beautiful ex …but my gaydar goes haywire. He is an interior designer. If his mom is a meddler with a big ego about his family heritage, it stands to reason she would make it hard for him to come out. Just my two cents. A marriage of convenience, heritage & resume (like many royals) versus one of love
I wish Eugenie & Jack would move to America to spare their little family the coming years of her father’s trial and (hopefully) punishment, but Beatrice is very meh for me. I can’t get a read on her.
Co-sign on Edo.
There is no sign at interior design school that says “gay men only.” Please stop with these small-minded stereotypes.
Bree, same here for the gaydar. And it’s not just that he’s ultra groomed. I get Swiss Air Cabin Crew vibe from him. I wonder if Bea knows.
If I remember correctly, Edo’s ex Dara, who was also his partner professionally, is from Florida. I remember seeing headlines of her and and Wolfie holidaying there frequently. I gather that she is very successful professionally and has impressive educational credentials. Her design firm which she founded, is established in London, though. Still, interesting that Edo seems to be hiding out there. I’m wondering how successful Edo is professionally.
She just stormed off filming the new “Ladies of London” Bravo show after one of the other women said they’d heard she was an escort. She’s just as fame hungry.
Yes, she seems fame-hungry. My point was simply that she seems successful professionally, and the two things are not mutually exclusive. Both Edo and Dara need fame, it’s good for business. I wouldn’t dismiss her credentials just because she seems to promote herself constantly. Also, it is interesting that he’s holed up in Florida where his ex probably has connections.
Dara is too thirsty for me.
While I can believe that there might be issues (especially if Beatrice is refusing to cut ties with her father) this also just sounds like he was in Florida for work – a conference and then actual projects he’s working on. he DOES work, which I know may be unusual for a royal, even a married-in, but it sounds to me almost like a Sussex article – “harry ditched meghan at home to travel through europe with other women!!!” uh no Harry went to Ukraine with a diplomatic team.
I mean Edo’s not visiting a war zone but it feels like the implication that their marriage is in trouble because of his time in Florida is kind of a stretch.
But again I wouldn’t be surprised if there WERE issues, I’m just not going to use this trip as support for that.
Couldn’t he be travelling to Florida to visit his son, who lives there with his Mom? It sounds like they have joint custody, non? Also, I’ve always seen Bea and Edo’s marriage as more of a convenience especially after for waiting 12 years for her last boyfriend to propose…and then them breaking up. FWIW they radiate zero chemistry to me! (shrug)
Me too.
oh I have no idea where Wolffie lives but that would make sense. It just seems from this article that his presence in Florida can be explained by a lot of things besides “he’s leaving Beatrice.”
It almost makes me sad for Bea bc I do think this marriage was pretty transactional on his side – I’m sure he likes her well enough, but his business has gotten a huge boost and he has access to exclusive events like the royal box at Ascot (or did have access), and I’m sure that was all part of it for him. But Beatrice seems really happy around him so I wonder if its only transactional on one side.
Ok not a lot of chemistry but any pictures I see of them he looks pleasant and relaxed and agreeable in her company. Unlike another couple who radiate discomfort and tension
No Ascot for you, Edo. No more carriage rides. No more church walks. Maybe Fergie and the Mapelli-Mozzi fam plan on relocating to Florida permanently. The tacky magas would accept them into their social circles, for sure.
When all things seemed rosy he couldn’t cosy up close enough to the Royal Family, now he wants to distance himself as far as possible. Rats… sinking ship…?
Honestly , I’d want to run away too. Prince Andrew is a criminal.
If you’re born into this, I guess you have no choice but to deal with this situation. But if you’re not, why would you want to..,
So yeah I mentioned this about a week and a half ago but there’s been a lot of weird PR friendly stories that are clearly coming from him or his ” camp” recently, about how he’s concerned about all of this but he has to keep moving forward and focus on his business, and then how his family is upset with all of this and how it will tarnish their business as well.
I’ve always felt that Beatrice couldn’t let her little sister get married before her and she had just ended that decade long relationship that she was in (and that guy got married like a year later), when Jack and Eugenie got engaged. Because I remember the hubbub around the fact that Eugenie had to wait for Harry and Meghan to get married even though she got engaged first.
And I think Beatrice found a guy that didn’t find her abhorrent, found being married to her would be beneficial to his business of selling luxury properties due to her social standing and connections and they went for it. However 8 years later, she’s not a working royal, her dad hasn’t been one in years, the association with the Yorks is pretty repulsive and not a selling point. Doesn’t sound like a business arrangement marriage is working out the way he anticipated. I’m not wishing ill on anybody’s marriage, and since they just had a child last year who was a preemie I can’t see him leaving right now, but I wouldn’t be shocked if they get separated and then quietly divorced in a year or two.
I think David Clark, the long term boyfriend really dropped Beatrice. Bea ended up with a very small wedding due to COVID pandemic (no large gatherings) and it was not a usual royal wedding.
If I remember correctly, it was the last family wedding both QE2 and Prince Philip attended and it occurred at a tiny church on the Sandringham estate. So, while she couldn’t have had a Westminster Abbey wedding during the pandemic, she did at least have her grandparents both attend and she even wore a re-worked dress of QE2’s if I recall.
She also wore a hand me down from QEII, which made it a special family moment. I think she may have had the best wedding of any of them, since being zoo animals feels particularly awful.
“Little” sister? Aren’t they twins?
There’s a 2 year age difference, I think
Oh, wow. This entire time I thought they were twins. 😳
Beatrice and Eugenie as twins? Lol. Sorry this just made me laugh. They are close in age though. My biggest whoops realization recently? Idk why but for some reason I’ve always thought Billie eilish was British. but she’s not apparently and is from LA? News to me.
Hmmm…One of the CBers recently asked how long ’til Edo bails on his marriage and now we get this “article”! These BM a-holes are too greedy, selfish, dishonest, and immoral to give credit where its due. Such psychopaths!
And yeah, I believe Edo is looking for an exit strategy. His ex-fiancee really dodged a huge bullet…
Edos family acting like they never knew or suspected anything like this would happen with AMW is absolutely disgusting and ridiculously stupid. As with every one who operates in these elite circles they all knew, or heard the rumors, they just didn’t think the details would be released. They certainly had no problem with their dil when her father paid a victim over 12 million pounds. I don’t know if their marriage will last but for his family to just worry about social status when very young children are involved is bad. If it was my dil’s father I would support my dil 110% but the father who committed the crimes not at all.
💯 Yeah, this coming from a woman who’s late husband died on the crapper in a porta potty at a festival! Real dignified folk. I will never believe that drugs weren’t involved.
I’m a bit hazy on the details, but wasn’t the story that Edo and Bea have known each other since childhood and his family were long-time friends with Andrew and Sarah?
I don’t know how well Edo and Beatrice knew each other when they were younger but, yes, reportedly the York’s were longtime pals with Edo’s mother and then stepfather, Christopher Shale.
His father divorced his mother when he was 5 and the family’s “title” was bestowed upon them in 1913. The father wasn’t even born in Italy and skied the Olympics for Britain. A little out of control here with the aristocrat nonsense.
The aristo Italian titles are no longer recognized.
One side of my family has a minor Imperial Russian title buried in the wood shed. I think I’m going to start using it if we’re recognizing Edo as Italian nobility 😂
do it!
I think Fergie also did some matchmaking (for Bea and Edo) when Bea’s boyfriend dropped her after 10 years of dating, and quickly married someone else. The Andrew scandal changed the picture. Edo accompanied Bea to royal family events in the past now the York daughters are keeping a low profile.
Just going by the article it seems that Edo is in Florida for work. I don’t think their marriage is in trouble.
I’ve had a soft spot for Edo since the coronation, when he was openly very friendly to Harry.
On reddit, so consider the source, I read that Brooksbank is the father of a yacht staffer’s pregnancy. If so, great timing, Jack.
I think it’s a bad look for William & Charles to banish the York daughters for the sins of their parents. It will lose some support for the Royal family.
Or, could that blind item have been about Edo?
I don’t know any of these people so I can’t really be shocked by anything, but this seems like way more of a stretch to me than a seemingly cordial arranged marriage not working out.
I know that Jack and Eugenie have been papped recently so if it is true ( again seems like a huge stretch to me), I guess they worked it out.
I did see that blind circulating about Jack on SM. And like Bea and Edo, I can’t tell what’s real and what’s the BM taking a go at the Yorks since it’s clearly open season.
I also saw the recent rumors of the yacht pregnancy and Brooksbank. Regardless, there are photos of Jack with women canoodling on a yacht from summer 2025, if I remember correctly. I guess I am trying to say that I am not sure their marriage is quite as stable as mentioned in the original post. But I have long heard that the sudden way Edo broke it off with the mother of his first born was due to opportunism (to be adjacent to royalty and what that could mean for his business and his own desire for fame). He has always seemed more eager to be in the limelight to me than Brooksbank, but now that has backfired in light of his in laws’ (deserved) Epstein fallout.
I want to correct my post above and was tricked by one of those Daily Mail “updated on___” designators. The photos are reports of him on a yacht with women in bikinis (some topless) are from 2021.
Jack was working for George Clooney’s gin brand when the photos on the yacht were taken. The models were there for a photo shoot and Jack as a company representative. There was nothing more to it.
Interesting how things are taken out of context to smear a character. Just like people do with Meghan.
The photos showed Jack on the boat but not in the same area as the women.
Certainly not like William be right there with a topless Pippa.
Welp, William’s football chat rooms have all gone mysteriously silent, as he is clearly just taking a scythe to any family member he thinks might make people not look at all the things that are wrong with him.
I won’t be the least bit surprised if Edo leaves her. It always screamed “arranged marriage” to me. And he definitely seemed like he is in it for the connections. Unlike Eugenie and Jack who are clearly a love match.
The Yorks have become radioactive and if it seriously impacts Edo’s business opportunities, I could see him leaving Beatrice.
Reminds me of a quote from The Age of Innocence: “It was Beaufort when he covered you with jewels, and it’s got to stay Beaufort now that he’s covered you with shame.”
Great quote!
“marriage of convenience” becomes not so convenient. No one likes the spotlight…
Could this story be reverse psychology?
I reminder that in January one of the UK digital tabloids wrote a story that (one of) Mapelli Mozzi’s luxury interior design business(es) was registered as in “administration” at Companies House, meaning, going into bankruptcy. But the story wasn’t picked up by other tabloids afterwards. At least, I don’t remember reading anything thereafter.
And indeed, B&E’s hasty union was an arranged mariage; his mother – a longtime UK socialite – and Fergie were longtime friends.
Edo, jumped into the opportunity, after B was eventually dumped by her on-and-off US criminal boyfriend, after10 years, to marry another woman. Edo in return quickly left his fiancé and child behind, and moved in with Bea in her flat at St James palace. He probably thought that he was becoming part of UK’s #1 family, and that he would profit from that connection. To me, he’d always came across as an opportunist.
Anyway, one correction is this story though, which seem to present Edo’s Italian aristo family (from his father’s side), as rich – they are not. His father got some fame and wealth through his sports career, not from generational wealth. In fact, most of the powerless and dying Italian aristo families are impoverished – most of the families who still have family properties, can’t effort the upkeep, and they are selling those properties at bargen prices. You can buy many dilapidated castles and mansions in the countryside for almost nothing. I have two friends who, over the last five years, have bought and renovated a view of these properties, turning them into short stay, campings and/or bad-and-breakfast accommodations.
*a few of these
* And yeah, bed-and-breakfast, lol.
You shoulda left it uncorrected.
— Lotsa speculation about what goes on at bad-and-breakfast accommodations 😳
“Emily in Paris” – last season – just showed a situation like that with and impoverished Italian aristocrat.
doesn’t edo’s family still have a castle or some enormous house in italy that he’ll inherit, along with a title once his father dies? and then bea would get the title of countess, i think?
I’d be kind of shocked if he wasn’t embarrassed, regardless of what his reasons for marrying her were.
Not sure if it’s embarrassment he’s feeling, but this kind of thing would put a strain on any relationship.
Not saying he’s right or wrong but all of this is …, ick.
let’s be real, did anyone really think this would be a lasting marriage? he left his previous partner and child for her. “If they’ll do it with you, they’ll do it to you.”
The way the uk media hand waved Edo dumping a fiancée with an infant but they kept saying Meghan was a social climber and gold digger.
That said this seemed like a work thing. Edo is not dumb and he wouldn’t be telegraphing a divorce of Beatrice on social media.
This so much. If there were signs that this marriage was a true magical romance or whatever, but I don’t think we’ve seen a lot of men leaving a partner with a new baby into wildly successful new relationships. (And I’m not sure we ever see women with a new baby doing that, so no examples to discuss.)
I feel so weird feeling sorry for Beatrice. Like, she’s an actual princess and not massively wealthy but with all the opportunities for education and professional connections that I have only dreamed of. But she’s not loved by the media, she was the last of her friend group to marry. She’s being pushed out of the RF. Her parents are whatever TF those people are. Like, there’s actually nothing there to envy at all.
I don’t want to by cynical because there are two little girls involved here. That said, even if their marriage ends, Beatrice didn’t get such a raw deal out of it. She has two children born “legitimate” (these people still care about that stuff) and a starter marriage under her belt. It gives her a bit of status. Plus he’s a good-looking man. Maybe they got his looks. I think Bea is pretty but not as pretty as he is.
“And a starter marriage under her belt.” I LOVE you for this statement. I feel like everyone in my generation had a starter marriage. Not me because I was super skeptical about marriage, but my husband had a 6 month starter marriage (no children, no joint property, so it was an easy divorce). I have zero judgement about starter marriages. They’re the new normal. But two kids kinda suggests Bea thought it was something more than that.
I think Bea is super-plain … like she got the worst features of the Windsors (the toothiness, the long face, the ears).
If you look at some of the old portraits, she looks like a ginger haired reincarnation of Queen Victoria.
Same eyes.
I’d say she’s actually a real beauty taking the shots of her when she’s au natural and perhaps not frowning. My criticism of her is her insistence on looking bug-eyed when knowingly being photographed , eyes opened big as possible – it doesn’t flatter.
i think bea is attractive and could be more so if she had work done on her teeth. the teeth take away from her beauty. however, i love her eyes, she seems to have beautiful skin and her hair and its color is gorgeous.
His parents are beside themselves now? Andrew and Fergie were already a shady af hot mess before he married Beatrice, but okay.
At the end of the day, I do think it was a marriage of convenience for both Beatrice andEdo. He always looked way too smug and crafty and pleased with himself. I also noticed that since they got together, Beatrice started dressing better. She also unfortunately dropped a lot of weight to the point that she’s all eyes and teeth now and it’s really not a healthy look. She was more attractive when she was a normal weight especially because of her beautiful hair.
I raise that because I suspect part of his marrying her was his self promotion and he wanted the princess elbow adornment to open doors, even if her family was shady. Now that she’s not able to uphold that part of the bargain, I can’t see him sticking around.
In terms of Jack and Eugenie I know we give them a break here because they were nice to Harry and Meghan, but Jack always struck me as one of those dopey upper class boys with the family engineered job – tequila ambassador, real estate spokesperson, marketing. The kind of jobs that wealthy families find for their kids to keep them occupied. That said Jack and Eugenie always did seem to enjoy each other‘s company to genuinely have affection for each other. I was sad when I saw those rumours about him being unfaithful and I hope those aren’t true.
“Jack always struck me as one of those dopey upper class boys with the family engineered job –”
LOL, that sentiment was absolutely echoed in the interview by the Daily Mail of Jack’s grandmother, who, honestly, appeared a bit dotty. She basically was saying that Jack is a really nice kid but not very bright! I don’t think she was invited to their wedding. 😆
