Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi tied the knot this week in a secret ceremony held at All Saints Chapel in Windsor Great Park on Friday morning. In order to comply with social distancing guidelines amidst the coronavirus pandemic, Beatrice and Edoardo kept the guest list very small, only inviting 20 people, including Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, and Beatrice's parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

Prince William and Kate Middleton may not have been in attendance for the private nuptials, but they couldn't be happier for the newest royal newlyweds and took to Instagram to share a message of support for the couple.

"Congratulations to HRH Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi who married in a small private ceremony at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor on Friday," the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wrote under an illustrated "just married" banner sticker in a post on their Instagram Story.
