The couple wed in Windsor in a private ceremony away from camera lenses in July last year. The Queen, Prince Philip, Sarah Ferguson, Prince Andrew and Princess Eugenie were among the small group of guests.
The 32-year-old bride borrowed the tiara that the Queen wore on her wedding day; the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara.
Congratulations to HRH Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi! #JustMarried #RoyalWedding

The couple were originally meant to wed on May 29, but the ceremony was postponed due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Princess Beatrice's parents, the Duke and Duchess of York, were not in the photos, but the palace confirmed her father walked her down the aisle.
The baby will be the Queen's 12th great-grandchild following the arrival of the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's second child in the summer.
