Sarah, Duchess of York has sympathised with her daughter Princess Beatrice on what would have been her wedding day.

Beatrice was planning to marry her fiance, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, on May 29 in the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace, but the nuptials were postponed some time ago due to the coronavirus outbreak.

In a series of tweets Sarah wrote: “Love you my darling Beatrice. 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.”

She went on to say: “The most important thing is health and love and today I send it to you and all the other people that were getting married during this time .. so proud of you all.”

Beatrice and Edoardo announced their engagement last September, ending months of speculation.
