Princess Beatrice stepped out alone in London after her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, made a heartbreaking admission.

The eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson looked glamorous while celebrating the launch of Australian designer Rebecca Vallance and American socialite Nicky Hilton’s new clothing collection.


Wearing a statement £790 black dress designed by Vallance, her ensemble featured a trio of bows running down from the neckline to the waist.

Beatrice, who recently announced she is pregnant with her second child, was photographed without her husband Edoardo at the gala.

Her solo outing comes after Edoardo made a heartbreaking admission in his latest interview.

In a recent interview with The Financial Times, Edoardo made the heartbreaking admission that his work often keeps him away from Princess Beatrice and their three-year-old daughter Sienna.

He said: “I’m always on a train,” describing his frequent travels between design projects and antique-sourcing trips across Europe.

This busy schedule takes him far from the Cotswolds home he shares with Princess Beatrice, Sienna, and his son Wolfie from a previous relationship.

For her solo outing on Wednesday, Princess Beatrice, 36, paired her Rebecca Vallance dress with Roger Vivier shoes, which retail for a whopping £1,650.

In addition, the royal carried a £1,395 black satin clutch bag from the same brand.

Edoardo, who married Princess Beatrice in 2020, has discussed the challenges of balancing his expanding business empire with family responsibilities.

Having a stable home is crucial for Edoardo, who moved frequently during his childhood.

In 2021, he and Princess Beatrice purchased a £3.5million farmhouse in The Cotswolds.

Edoardo founded Banda Property in 2007 when he was just 23, and recently completed a collection of townhouses in London’s Leinster Square.

Banda’s reach extends far beyond the capital, with projects in New Delhi, Milan, the Alps, Los Angeles, and the Hamptons.

Edoardo recently launched Banda Gallery, a curated collection of art, furniture, and homewares.
