PRINCESS BEATRICE ARRIVES AT ST GEORGE'S CHAPEL WITH EDOARDO Royal fans were sent into a frenzy after a source close to the York claimed last week Princess Beatrice may be tying the
knot with Edoardo, known as Edo, as early as next spring. The couple have known each other for years, but they have been officially introduced only in mid-September 2018 - when their

Beatrice and Edo’s relationship, as it would spare them from the strains coming from months of overthinking whether it is the right time for the nuptials and planning a perfect ceremony. She
