I only side eye him because of how he treated the ex.

Some gossipy background on Beatrice.
Turns out, there is more to the royal’s happy-ending than meets the eye.

"The bride-to-be wore Zimmerman.
Princess Beatrice beamed with the giddy look of love one would expect of a woman wearing a $1000 dress, $180,000 rough-cut diamond ring and multi-millionaire property tycoon fiancé.
The thing is, for some of us, particularly those who find ourselves still tirelessly swiping left on back-to-back gym selfies and giant cats, it would be understandable - hell, reasonable - to feel the slightest pang of unsolicited jealousy at Princess Beatrice’s engagement news.
But as is nearly always the case, nothing is quite as shiny as it seems away from Instagram - no matter how close you are in line to the throne. So while she might be a princess, when it comes to finding her prince (or in this case, count - a title he inherited from his father), Bea has had to kiss just as many frogs as the rest of us, before finding her love, Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi.
Let’s start at the beginning.
Call it curiosity or maybe (and more likely) raging teenage hormones, but dating a bad boy in your high school years is practically a right of passage - and Bea was no exception.
His name was Paolo Liuzzo. Then-17-year-old Beatrice dated the Long Islander in 2006 after the pair reportedly met through mutual friends. Unfortunately, it went pear-shaped when a background check revealed he was not exactly royal material. In 2002, he had been convicted of assault and battery for his part in the death of a Worcester student at an apartment brawl, according to People. Liuzzo received three years probation, during which he was only allowed to travel to UK for work - but he broke this condition when he travelled to Switzerland with Beatrice and her family. The relationship ended shortly after - you can just imagine the tête-à-tête with Grandma Elizabeth.
Then came Dave Clark: the twinkly-eyed American businessman, who Fergie lovingly nicknamed ‘Mr Smiley’. Clark and Bea reportedly met through Prince William at the birthday party of Pierce Brosnan’s son, Sean, and instantly hit it off (I mean, talk about a meet-cute!).
The couple dated for 10 years before going their separate ways, for which the birth of Princess Charlotte was reportedly the catalyst. Her birth pushed Beatrice down to seventh in line for the throne - meaning the couple no longer had to seek the Queen’s permission to marry.
However, according to reports, when a proposal still didn’t come, Beatrice put her foot down and issued an ultimatum. Sadly, the couple announced their “amicable and mutual” split in 2016.
While they had reportedly been drifting apart for some time, it was also reported that Prince William, despite introducing them, was “not a fan” of Clark, which had also caused issues. Understandably, the princess was reportedly “devastated” when the decade-long union ended.
It got worse.
Barely had Clark’s newly-annointed bachelor toes touched the ground before he (very publicly) moved on. Less than a year after the split, the Uber executive announced his engagement to New York advertising executive, Lyn Anderson. The couple tied the knot durish a lavish Lake Como wedding in front of celebrity guests such as Ashton Kutcher and Sara Sampaio. Despite the heartbreakingly swift rebound, Beatrice was said to be “super happy” for her ex and his new wife.
Meanwhile, she suddenly found herself in an all-too-relatable-these-days position: 30 and single. And to rub salt in the wound, she was surrounded by newly-engaged couples: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner.
Sure, she would have been happy for them, but as anyone who has been in a similar position well-knows, such moments can feel, well, a tad bittersweet - and yet, to her credit, despite the recent blow to her own personal life, Beatrice remained the supportive cousin, sister and friend, as demonstrably seen by the screenshot Kloss took of Beatrice’s ecstatic reaction to her engagement.
Maybe she knew something better was coming.
And so it did. And his name was Eduardo.
The pair have reportedly been moving in the same circles for years but, according to People, sparks began to fly last year, a few weeks before Eugenie’s wedding. Fast forward a year, the couple were engaged in Italy earlier this month. Announcing the news, they said they “can't wait to actually be married”, adding their shared interests and values “will stand us in great stead for the years ahead”.
The couple’s families also delighted at the news, with Edo’s parents saying marriage “will only strengthen what is already a wonderful relationship” and Fergie saying she had “tears of joy”.
But the sweetest, most poignant tribute came from Edo himself, who posted a series of black-and-white photos of the couple to Instagram, writing: “You will never be alone my love, my heart is your home. Hand in hand, today, tomorrow and forever.”
Don’t you just love a happy ending?"

I read he's not a count. His father was or is, but the title is not passed down.
I really hope for Beatrice's sake that he really truly loves her and is not using her to "up" his way into the higher echelons of society. From my perspective, marrying a man who has a very young child by another very beautiful (and successful) woman .. who he did not marry .. well, I know that for me, I would not marry the guy .. but that is just me.
He's done very well on his own by all accounts. Could marrying the 9th in line for the throne (at the moment) really boost his status in society or business? I mean, what kind of moron is going to buy a multimillion dollar property because the owner of the company married a princess? It means nothing.
it certainly raises his profile for whatever that's worth
I agree I wouldn't marry him so quickly. I probably would date him for a few more years to see if he's serious or not.
However, it is a win for him to marry into the Royal family.

right!I think she’s actually very unique looking and not in a bad way. I’m tired of everyone looking like a Kardashian clone. I’m shocked at people calling her flat out ugly
I only side eye him because of how he treated the ex.
According to a number of articles, Beatrice's wedding will be significantly "pared down" in comparison to Eugenie's wedding. One can only think a lot of this is due to the fact that Prince Andrew won't be able to foot the bill as his "salary" has been significantly decreased ..
Andrew pushed for her sister to have the grand wedding he won’t be able to push for this one. Eugenie’s wedding cost 2 million if Bestrice’s wedding cost the tax payers that much the public will be outraged. I feel bad for Beatrice to have something so vile hanging over her wedding. She’ll probably be happy to have a scaled back wedding to avoid bad press/media.
Based on post #59 and others in his thread, this union sounds to be a rather transactional one. But aren't they all? Mozzi hit the royal jackpot as few high profile royal Brits are even left. Certainly Beatrice's access to high circles are a professional boon to "Edo". Seeing her ex of many years and others marry made her an easy target for Edo to pick up as she apparently glommed onto him. I think they'll be happy as they seem to check off the boxes in each other's lives.
