Die Vermählung von Prinzessin Beatrice, Tochter des Herzogs von York und seiner früheren Frau Sarah, und Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, fand am 17. Juli 2020 in Windsor, im engen Familienkreis, statt. Die geplante frühere große Feier wurde wegen Corona abgesagt.
Prinzessin Beatrice trägt Queen Mary's Diamant Strahlen Diadem, eine Leihgabe der Königin Elizabeth, ihre Grossmutter.
Das Diadem wurde 1919 von Firma E. Wolff & Co für Garrards hergestellt. Die Königin trug es 1947 ebenfalls als Hochzeitsdiadem.
Princess Beatrice of York and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi celebrated their wedding on Friday 17th July 2020, with their closest family after postponing their wedding in May.
The private ceremony took place at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor.
Princess Beatrice, who is ninth in line to the British throne and the granddaughter of the Queen and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, was walked down the aisle by her father, Prince Andrew, Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
Princess Beatrice wore a vintage dress by Norman Hartnell and the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara, both belonging to Her Majesty The Queen. The tiara was worn by Her Majesty on her wedding day in 1947.
This tiara (which can also be worn as a necklace) was made for Queen Mary in 1919, by breaking up the Collingwood tiara-necklace. It is not, as has sometimes been claimed, made with diamonds that had belonged to George III, but the new tiara kokoshnik, re-used diamonds taken from a necklace/tiara purchased by Queen Victoria from Collingwood & Co as a wedding present for Queen Mary in 1893.
In August 1936 Queen Mary gave the tiara to Queen Elizabeth, from whom it was borrowed by Princess Elizabeth for her wedding in 1947.
Formed from 47 graduated brilliant and rose-set tapering spears, divided by 46 narrow spikes, set lozenge-fashion with nine graduated brilliants at the center, diminishing to five at either side, demountable for use as a necklace. The tiara consisted of 633 brilliants and 271 rose diamonds. Garrard noted in the invoice for the work £260 the diamonds from your Majesty's own Tiara bracelets and monograms in gold and silver settings as a Russian pattern Tiara with adjustable head frame, allowing for old settings.
