💥 ROYALS STUNNED: Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi finally breaks his silence on wife Princess Beatrice after five years of marriage

Princess Beatrice’s Husband Just Revealed the Real Reason For Their Split Living Situation After Speculation They’re ‘Emotionally Disconnected’

Princess Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, knows that they have an unusual living situation.

In a recent interview with The Times, Mozzi, who has been married to Beatrice since 2020, explained the couple’s split living situation between their home at St James’s Palace in London and their new farmhouse in the Cotswolds, which they purchased in 2021. During the interview, Mozzi clarified that the couple—who share daughters Sienna Elizabeth and Athena Elizabeth Rose—live in both homes, but use their London house as their main base due to school commitments. Along with Sienna and Athena, Mozzi is also a father to son Christopher Woolf from his previous relationship with ex Dara Huang.

The topic of his and Beatrice’s living situation came when the magazine wrote on Mozzi’s £42 million design project in Belgravia for his company Banda Property. “He says he will see the site often when he walks his youngest to school from their grace-and-favour apartment in St. James’s Palace and then proceeds to his design studio on the King’s Road,” the article wrote, confirming that Beatrice and Mozzi still live at their St. James’s palace home, despite their recent real estate purchase in the Cotswolds.

In the same interview, Mozzi also admitted that the royals are priced out of buying the Belgravia home he’s designing, though he confessed that it would be the “perfect pad” for him and his family. “Belgravia is a proper home. You can’t buy a box of cereal in Mayfair. I say to my friends, if you’re going to live somewhere full-time in London, it’s Chelsea, Belgravia, Notting Hill or Holland Park,” he said.

Confirmation on Beatrice and Mozzi’s living situation came after royal expert and relationship coach Nicole Moore, the founder & CEO of Love Works Method, theorized to The List in 2025 that the couple’s respective jobs, which keep them apart for long periods of time, could cause a strain on their relationship in the long run.

“[Spending] a lot of time apart due to work can definitely put a big stain on Princess Beatrice and her husband’s relationship and cause them to become emotionally disconnected,” she said.

She added, “When couples are apart a lot, it almost always causes their emotional connection to dwindle unless they are steadfast in maintaining a lot of communication when apart.”

Beatrice and Mozzi seemed to shut down any split speculation at the Royal Ascot 2025, which they attended the first day of as a united front. The couple were also photographed in a are moment of public affection in the royal box, which seemed to indicate that things are going just fine in their relationship.

Confirmation around their relationship status also comes amid reports that Beatrice’s cousin, Prince William, has a plan for her and her sister, Princess Eugenie, to have larger roles as senior members of the British royal family when he replaces his father, King Charles, as king. When William ascends the throne, Beatrice and Eugenie will be valuable assets, and I’m certain they will get involved with royal duties. It makes perfect sense, because he will need them,” Ingrid Seward, royal author and editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, told Hello!. “I see them as a sort of double act, working together in the same way as married couples do. Two gorgeous Princesses working together as sisters would be very powerful. I think it would be wonderful, and I think it will happen.”
