Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi dine together at London sushi spot amid marriage speculation

Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, were seen together at the Eel Sushi Bar in Notting Hill, where they enjoyed a relaxed meal. The couple, who have been married for over a year, spent two hours in the trendy pine-panelled eatery, which was hosting a sizable birthday celebration. They were eventually picked up in an electric Porsche, showcasing their public camaraderie.

Recent reports suggest that Beatrice’s relationship with Edo has faced scrutiny following the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Friends of the royal shared with The Mail on Sunday that tensions between the couple have been growing for some time, though their appearance at the sushi bar indicates they are trying to project unity.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s royal title remains under pressure

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the father of Princess Beatrice, made a rare public appearance recently during a solo dog walk near Wood Farm in Norfolk. This marked his first sighting since being arrested last month. Previously, he was captured in a Range Rover four weeks ago, attempting to evade photographers as he left the Norfolk police station.

The former Duke of York was released from police custody after an 11-hour interrogation on suspicion of public office misconduct. His new home in Norfolk received hundreds of ‘HRH’ stamped removal boxes earlier this week, hinting at his continued reliance on royal symbols. The boxes, labeled with terms like ‘HRH office’ and ‘HRH meeting room,’ arrived via Gander & White, a firm approved for royal relocations.

King Charles III stripped his brother of the Duke of York title in November 2023, a move linked to the Epstein scandal. Despite this, Andrew’s household still reflects his royal status, with belongings marked to maintain the honorific.

Sarah Ferguson explores corgi cloning for potential reality TV venture

Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson, the mother of Princess Beatrice, is reportedly considering a unique plan to replicate the late Queen’s corgis. The idea, floated earlier this year, involves cloning the beloved pets Muick and Sandy for an unconventional TV show. Hollywood insiders describe the project as a ‘bold and controversial business venture,’ with the former Duchess of York aiming to capitalize on global demand for cloned dogs.

“She was pushing to get back into TV and make some money,” said a source. “She came up with the idea of featuring the Queen’s corgis in a show. And that included the idea of breeding them. Bizarre as it sounds, the concept of cloning them was discussed.”

Cloning dogs is legal in the U.S., where replicas can fetch up to £75,000. While the UK restricts this practice to research settings, the process remains accessible for those wishing to send samples abroad. Sarah Ferguson’s whereabouts remain undisclosed, as she continues to hide after her close ties to Epstein were exposed. She now faces scrutiny over potential testimony in the U.S. legal proceedings.
