Vintage dress, no Andrew in photos
Princess Beatrice wore a vintage dress loaned to her by her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, at her wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Buckingham Palace said Saturday as it released official photographs from the private family event.
The queen’s granddaughter and the property tycoon were married Friday in the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor. The 94-year-old British monarch and her husband Prince Philip, 99, attended along with the parents and siblings of the bride and groom.
Beatrice, 31, wore a vintage ivory taffeta dress by Norman Hartnell and a diamond tiara that was worn by the queen on her own wedding day in 1947.
Beatrice, the daughter of Prince Andrew and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, had originally planned to marry Mapelli Mozzi,
36, on May 29 in the Chapel Royal at St. James’s Palace. The ceremony was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The nuptials also have been overshadowed by questions about Andrew’s friendship with the late American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The prince does not appear in the two wedding photos released by the palace.

Donald Trump had tweeted the video Saturday, which was previously uploaded by the White House’s head of social media on Friday. A message in that video now reads, “This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner.”
