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 Maintain Public Unity at Notting Hill Sushi Spot
Marriage Faces Scrutiny Following Epstein Scandal
Despite recent concerns about her marital stability, Princess Beatrice showcased a cohesive image with her spouse, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, during a casual meal at the Eel Sushi Bar in Notting Hill. The couple spent two hours at the trendy Japanese eatery, which features pine-paneled interiors, before departing in a sleek electric Porsche.
The royal’s upbeat demeanor contrasted with the growing speculation about her relationship. Friends shared with *The Mail on Sunday* that tensions between Beatrice and Edo had been noticeable for some time, particularly after revelations about their parents’ connections to Jeffrey Epstein emerged. This backdrop has fueled doubts about the couple’s resilience.
Meanwhile, Beatrice’s father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, made a low-profile appearance in Norfolk. The 66-year-old was spotted on a solitary dog walk near Wood Farm, where he resides. This marked his first public outing since being arrested last month, though he was released under investigation after 11 hours of police custody on charges of public office misconduct.
Andrew’s recent move to a five-bedroom property in Norfolk has seen logistical changes, including the arrival of removal boxes labeled with royal insignia. These items, including clothing and antiques, suggest he is still maintaining the trappings of his former title. The boxes were delivered by Gander & White, a firm approved for royal transport, adding to the sense of continuity.
“She was pushing to get back into TV and make some money,” a source revealed. “The idea of cloning the Queen’s corgis was discussed as part of a broader plan to capitalize on her royal status.”
Beatrice’s mother, Sarah Ferguson, has also been linked to a unique project. Reports indicate she engaged in talks to replicate the late Queen’s corgis for a reality TV series, a venture described as both daring and contentious. While the process is legal in the U.S., the UK restricts it to research contexts. Fergie’s participation in these discussions came after her close ties to Epstein were exposed, prompting her to go into hiding and prepare for testimony in the U.S.
The royal family’s internal dynamics remain under close watch, with each member navigating the aftermath of the scandal in distinct ways. Beatrice’s public display of solidarity with Edo, however, underscores her efforts to project stability amid ongoing scrutiny.
