Princess Beatrice’s marriage has been under the microscope for a long time now, with recent reports suggesting it is hanging by a thread. As she celebrated her sixth wedding anniversary with Edoardo ‘Edo’ Mapelli Mozzi on July 17, royal fans noticed one thing that has reignited separation rumors surrounding the couple. 

It was not the milestone itself. Instead, royal watchers noted how Mozzi did not share his usual anniversary post on social media, despite doing so for years.

A source told Woman’s Day, “It really doesn’t look good. Even in the best-case scenario, this proves he’s clearly in no mood to celebrate the relationship, or even try to put an end to all the rumours that have been swirling for months now about trouble in the marriage.”

Friends close to the couple were quick to point out that the silence felt out of character. In the past, Mozzi regularly shared heartfelt posts about Beatrice and never shied away from showing his affection publicly.

“Naturally, a lot of people are taking it as strong evidence that he’s got one foot out the door and that divorce seems to be inevitable. The timing is suspicious, and it comes at a time where they seem more disconnected than ever,” an insider shared.

The ongoing scandals surrounding Beatrice's parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, have reportedly created a wedge between the couple. Amidst the York scandal, Mozzi has been spotted enjoying party trips, a move that has done little to quiet the growing rumors surrounding their marriage.

Another source claimed, “He’s been pulling away from her more and more ever since this scandal erupted with her parents. Mozzi bolts to America or other far-flung places seemingly any chance he gets, so in that sense he’s the one who’s left her high and dry.” They added, "The word is that Beatrice is horrified and humiliated right now… She was already reeling from the way he behaved in the South of France, and now he seems to have totally turned his back on her when she needs him the most.”

The rumors gained even more attention earlier this year when Mozzi spent weeks away on work trips to the US while Beatrice remained in the UK with their daughters. More recently, their getaway to the French Riviera also sparked discussion after the property developer was spotted partying in St. Tropez, while reports claimed Beatrice stayed out of the spotlight after falling ill during the trip.
