Sarah Ferguson pays tribute to 'darling' Princess Beatrice on her postponed wedding day

Sarah Ferguson has tweeted in support of her daughter Princess Beatrice on what would have been her wedding day.

Beatrice, 31, had planned to marry her fiance Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi today in a ceremony at The Chapel Royal, St James's Palace, but the wedding was postponed earlier this year following the national coronavirus lockdown.

"Love you my darling Beatrice" she tweeted above a picture of Beatrice as a child, "You have given me more joy than I could ever wish for. I am so excited to celebrate yours and Edo’s love when we all are out of lockdown."

Beatrice and Edoardo (known as Edo to his friends) got engaged in September and had planned to marry today in London, followed by a wedding breakfast in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, with special permission from the Queen.

Ferguson has been living at her ex-husband Prince Andrew's residence, Royal Lodge in Windsor, during lockdown.

She also recently launched a YouTube series for children called 'Storytime with Fergie and Friends' which sees her read classic children's tales.

Princess Beatrice has not confirmed when her wedding will now take place, but the couple is expected to opt for the same venue at a later date.

Beatrice will become an Italian 'Contessa' (Countess) when she marries Mozzi, a property developer. The newlyweds are also expected to inherit Villa Mapelli Mozzi, the sprawling family seat in Ponte San Pietro, Italy.
