Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are en route to their royal wedding, with their date set for 2020.

Buckingham Palace released the following statement on Thursday the 26th of September:

“The Duke and Duchess of York are delighted to announce the engagement of Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice of York to Mr. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. 

"Her Royal Highness and Mr. Mapelli Mozzi became engaged while away for the weekend in Italy earlier this month. The wedding will take place in 2020. Further details will be announced in due course.”

With the wedding less than a year away, royal fans are wondering who exactly Edoardo is and how he met the Princess of York.

Who is Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi

Here is what we know so far:

How did Edoardo propose to Princess Beatrice?

Edoardo proposed to Princess Beatrice while they were on a vacation in Italy.

According to their statement, the couple is “extremely happy” about the prospect of getting married.

"We are extremely happy to be able to share the news of our recent engagement." 

"We are both so excited to be embarking on this life adventure together and can't wait to be married. We share so many similar interests and values and we know this will stand us in great stead for the years ahead, full of love and happiness."

When and where will the wedding of Princess Beatrice and Edoardo take place?

The wedding is said to be taking place in 2020, and while no official details have been released, it is like to be in springtime.

Royal fans believe the couple will wed in Edoardo’s homeland of Italy, however, this would rule out Queen Elizabeth II’s attendance.

"I think in her heart Beatrice would like to be married in Italy where Edo’s from, but there’s no way the Queen will fly to Europe for the wedding so it will have to be in England,” royal expert Ingrid Seward told OK magazine.

People reveals that they've been acquaintances for quite some time.

Edoardo (who goes by Edo) was the stepson of Christopher Shale - a close friend of former Prime Minister David Cameron - who died at the Glastonbury music festival in 2011. Princess Beatrice’s parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, considered Shale a friend as well, and attended his funeral along with Beatrice.

According to the Daily Mail, Princess Beatrice and Edo both attended Charlie Gilkes 2014 wedding in Puglia, Italy, along with Prince Harry, Princess Eugenie and Pippa Middleton.

When news broke of their engagement, Dara told The Daily Mail that she was looking forward to the unification of their families.

There has been speculation that Princess Beatrice may not be able to have the same wedding as her sister Princess Eugenie, due to Edoardo's background.
