Princess Beatrice marries in private ceremony at Windsor
CELEBRITIES
LONDON — Princess Beatrice got married in a private ceremony Friday, with her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in attendance, Buckingham Palace said Friday.
Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi at The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor. The monarch, the Duke of Edinburgh and other close family members attended.
Guidelines in place to stop the spread of COVID-19 were followed, the palace said.
Beatrice, the daughter of Prince Andrew and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, had originally planned to marry the property tycoon on May 29 in the Chapel Royal at St. James’s Palace. The ceremony was postponed because of the pandemic.
Friday’s ceremony had not been announced and images of the ceremony were not immediately released.
The families of the newlyweds have known one another for many years. The pair are said to have started a relationship after meeting again at the wedding of Beatrice’s sister, Princess Eugenie.
Andrew and Sarah, who remain on very good terms despite their 1996 divorce, said at the time of Beatrice’s engagement that they were “thrilled” with the news.
Their younger daughter, Eugenie, married Jack Brooksbank in 2018.
Trebek update: “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek again says he’s “feeling great” as he continues to be treated for pancreatic cancer.
The iconic game show host, 79, who marked the one-year anniversary of his diagnosis in March, said Thursday that he has continued to actively fight the disease while his syndicated show is on hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic. And during that time, he even wrote a book.
“I am doing well. I’ve been continuing my treatment, and it is paying off, though it does fatigue me a great deal,” the nowbearded host said in his latest video update. “My numbers are good. I am feeling great.”
His memoir, “The Answer Is Reflections on My Life,” is due to be published Monday by Simon & Schuster.
Trebek added that he’s recording show openings at home for some “very special ‘Jeopardy!’ episodes that will be coming up in July.” The prerecorded series will open the “‘Jeopardy!’ vaults” to take another look at favorite episodes from the past, including the first one he ever hosted — “mustache and all,” he said.
The Canadian-born, Emmy-winning host has become an American institution since taking the helm of the syndicated game show in 1984.
The TV personality is now among the 18% of stage 4 pancreatic cancer patients who make it to the one-year survival mark with the often terminal disease.
