On their fourth wedding anniversary this July, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi (Edo) paid tribute to his wife Princess Beatrice with a touching Instagram post. Alongside loving words for his "love", he included two previously unseen photos from their July 2020 nuptials. But it was one photo in particular that revealed a new detail about Beatrice's bridal style on their special day.

While it's no secret Beatrice wore a vintage Norman Hartnell gown borrowed from her grandmother Queen Elizabeth's wardrobe, along with the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara, the specifics of her veil were previously unknown. Edo's anniversary post changed that, showing Beatrice smiling and looking radiant with Edo while wearing what appears to be a simple white waltz-length veil with fingertip-length layers.

This marked the first time the veil has been displayed, as it was notably absent when Beatrice's dress was exhibited at Windsor Castle in 2020. In contrast, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle's intricate veils accompanied their gowns in previous royal wedding dress exhibitions. Beatrice seemed to choose a more understated approach, allowing the focus to remain on her beautiful Hartnell dress over 60 years after its debut.

Edo's photo also featured the couple holding hands lovingly beneath a canopy of trees at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor, where their ceremony took place after being forced to downsize plans due to the pandemic. Like many, Beatrice and Edo were originally intending a larger May wedding but adjusted to keep guests safe amid rising Covid cases. Still, they ensured the presence of Beatrice's grandparents Queen Elizabeth and the late Prince Philip for the July nuptials.

Though intimate with only 20 close friends and family present, the wedding did showcase one touching nod to tradition - Beatrice's decision to wear the same Queen Mary tiara her grandmother reserved just for her. Their close bond is well documented over the years, and Beatrice honored the Queen further by naming her first child, daughter Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, born in 2021.

Sienna's arrival completed Beatrice and Edo's growing family, with Edo also sharing a young son Christopher "Wolfie" with his former partner Dara Huang. In traditional royal fashion, Beatrice and Edo celebrated their first wedding anniversary by releasing official portraits showing the loving couple on their special day. Now four years later, Edo's tribute has given fans a rare behind-the-scenes peek, revealing fascinating new bridal details about a senior royal wedding conducted privately amid difficult circumstances. Their modified nuptials still radiated happiness and warmth, as does Beatrice and Edo's enduring romance today.
