Former government minister Nadine Dorries, who sat in front of Princess Beatrice at a church service, complained of the way her husband behaved and explained how she dealt with the situation
A woman who sat in front of Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi at a church service revealed her surprise at his behaviour.
Former Conservative government minister turned author Nadine Dorries claimed that the 42-year-old’s loud laughter had been “disrespectful” given they setting they were in.
It has been a big week for Beatrice’s family. She celebrates her 38th birthday today (Saturday, August 8), while her sister Eugenie gave birth to a third child earlier this week.
Writing in the Mail earlier this year, Nadine, who acted as Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport, was heavily critical of Edoardo and his behaviour.
Referring to him as Edo, she said that once she had given him a certain look that he became silent immediately.
She explained: “At a church service organised by a mutual friend, I found Beatrice and Eugenie and their husbands seated behind me.
“Edo was laughing loudly and generally behaving like a disrespectful teenager so that, at one point, I turned round and gave him the evil eye that only a woman my age – and a mother – can bestow. To his credit, he got the message, pronto.”
Ahead of Beatrice’s birthday, Edoardo gave an insight into his life with the royal during a chat with The Gentleman’s Journal.
In response to a question about what his biggest luxury in life was, he said: “Experiences, travel and time with family.” Furthermore, when asked what his perfect holiday would be, he said: “Getting off the beaten track, disconnecting from emails and news, and spending time with my family.”
Edoardo shares two children with Beatrice, Sienna and Athena. Edoardo and Beatrice were recently pictured on holiday together with Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank in Athens, Greece.
Edoardo’s recent comments about his family come as speculation grows about what future there is for Beatrice and her sister within the royal fold.
Earlier this summer the pair were spotted attending a royal wedding to see Peter Phillips marry his now wife Harriet. The move was notable as the pair had made fewer public appearances than other senior members of the Royal Family.
Speaking about what this meant for their ongoing strategy to the Express, brand and culture expert Nick Ede said it was good move for them to be more visible and be part of the wider visible Royal Family.
He said: “I think as a strategy it’s a good idea for them now to be visible – they haven’t done anything wrong and they are part of a big family.
“To see them celebrate with their friends and family was a good thing and in the long run its establishing them as being present and in the moment and not shying away due to their parents problems.”
