Christmas will be in English time for Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. The couple had planned to fly to Italy to spend their end-of-year holidays with Edoardo's family. A first since their marriage four years ago. But these plans had to be rethought in view of the health of the princess. Pregnant, her doctor advised her against a long trip, says The Guardian.
Last October, the princess announced that she was expecting her second child, three years after the birth of her first daughter, Sienna. For his part, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi is also the father of an eight-year-old boy, Christopher Woolf, nicknamed Wolfie, born from a previous union. A blended family (almost) like any other.
