Princess Beatrice puts on united front with husband Edo during lunch out amid fears her ‘marriage is in trouble’ in wake of Epstein scandal

Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo dine at Notting Hill sushi spot amid speculation about their marital status

Princess Beatrice and her spouse Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi were seen radiating joy as they exited the Eel Sushi Bar in Notting Hill, appearing to project unity during a casual meal. The couple spent two hours inside the trendy pine-panelled Japanese eatery, partaking in a large birthday celebration before being whisked away in an electric Porsche.

Friends of Beatrice shared concerns with The Mail on Sunday, suggesting tensions between the royal and her husband had persisted for some time since the mounting scrutiny over her parents’ connections with Jeffrey Epstein. The revelations have sparked speculation about the stability of their relationship.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Beatrice’s father, recently made a solitary appearance near Wood Farm in Norfolk, taking a dog walk that lasted 90 minutes. This marked his first public sighting since being arrested last month. Previously, he was captured in a Range Rover, trying to evade photographers as he departed a Norfolk police station four weeks ago.

King Charles III had previously stripped his brother of his royal title in November 2023, a decision linked to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. The latest images of Andrew show him in a state of quiet contemplation, maintaining a dignified presence despite the controversy.

Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson, the princess’s mother, has been involved in discussions about a unique television project. The idea involves cloning the Queen’s beloved corgis, a concept described by Hollywood producers as a “bold and controversial business venture.” The former Duchess of York aims to capitalize on the corgis’ popularity by offering genetically replicated versions to global dog enthusiasts.

“She was pushing to get back into TV and make some money,” a source revealed. “The idea of featuring the Queen’s corgis in a show was discussed, and even cloning them came up as a possibility.”

While pet cloning is not permitted in the UK for commercial purposes, it is legal to send a skin sample abroad for the process. Fergie has been in hiding since her close ties to the convicted paedophile were exposed, facing pressure to testify in the US. A spokesperson for her clarified: “Sarah Ferguson had no role in the talks engineered by others.”
