Princess Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, is facing accusations that he acted like a “disrespectful teenager” during a church service.
Nadine Dorries, former Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, made the claims about property developer Edoardo.
Nadine claimed that she once sat in front of Edoardo and Beatrice as well as Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank at a church service.
Nadine Dorries’ claims over Princess Beatrice’s husband Edoardo
In a piece for the MailOnline, Nadine wrote: “I’ve had some experience of Edo myself. At a church service, 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.”
She added: “To his credit, he got the message, pronto. But there was an arrogance there that smacked of immaturity.”
Royal Insider has contacted reps for Beatrice and Buckingham Palace for comment.
Beatrice and Edoardo rocked by marriage claims
Nadine’s claims come amid rumours surrounding Beatrice and Edoardo’s marriage.
The couple tied the knot in July 2020. It was a rather low-key affair due to COVID-19 restrictions at the time.
Recently, it was claimed that the ongoing scandal surrounding Beatrice’s parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, over their past association with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has taken its toll on Beatrice and Edoardo.
Edo was laughing loudly and generally behaving like a disrespectful teenager.
A source recently told the Daily Mail: “Things haven’t been great for a while between them, but Beatrice has been determined to soldier on and forge a path through.
“She really wants to almost naively see the good in people and will turn a blind eye to uncomfortable truths – that is why she was blind to her father’s behaviour, and the same is true of her belief in Edo.
“She wants to stay together, but he seems more and more distracted by work and travel. Just when she needs him most, he’s been pulling away.”
‘Things are great between them’
However, a friend of Beatrice and Edoardo has since told HELLO!: “The only thing Bea and Edo are navigating are their busy jobs and looking after their children!
“They’ve both had recent stints working abroad and like so many working parents, have balancing work with looking after the kids.

“Recent reports that things aren’t good between them are not true at all. Things are great between them and the only distance between them recently has been physical distance because of work!”
Representatives for Beatrice were contacted for comment on these claims.
