Princess Beatrice has officially cancelled her wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Queen’s granddaughter, 31, was set to wed the millionaire property tycoon, 37,  at St James Palace on May 29, but the wedding has been put on hold as the lockdown continues, a source confirmed to People magazine. 

‘There are no plans to switch venues or hold a bigger wedding. They aren’t even thinking about their wedding at this time. There will come a time to rearrange, but that’s not yet,’ a spokesperson said.

Buckingham Palace had previously confirmed the reception set to take place in their gardens was cancelled.  

Invitations were never sent out, due to complications with the virus, a source added to People.  

Earlier today, Dominic Raab  declared that coronavirus lockdown will stay for at least another three weeks, taking the date to May 7.

The Foreign Secretary, who is deputising for the Prime Minster,  confirmed the public’s ‘efforts are starting to pay off’ but draconian curbs cannot yet be lifted after he chaired a meeting of the Cobra emergency committee.

The Church of England has said the number of people attending church weddings during the outbreak should be limited to the legal minimum of five – the priest, the bride and groom and two witnesses.

This means if the couple’s wedding went ahead while the pandemic is ongoing, they would be limited to just two guests.

 Beatrice, daughter of the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, was set to walk down the aisle in the Chapel Royal of St James’s Palace in London.
