The Biggest Red Flags In Princess Beatrice's Marriage, According To Our Relationship Coach

When Princess Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, it seemed to be a royal match made in heaven. While Mozzi didn't inherit the title of "Prince" upon marriage, he does come from his own aristocratic line as the son of an Italian count, and is now officially a member of the British royal family. However, it appears Princess Beatrice isn't living a fairytale happy ending, as there could be some glaring red flags in her marriage. According to Teresha Young, multi-award-winning international wellness and relationship coach, one thing that raises eyebrows is Mozzi's close relationship with his ex-fiancée Dara Huang, with whom he shares their son Christopher Woolf, or Wolfie. "Even after several years, if boundaries aren't clearly set or maintained, any perceived lingering closeness between them could quietly affect the emotional health of Beatrice's relationship, which is a red flag," Young exclusively tells Glam. 

Because Mozzi co-parents with Huang, they're still in each other's lives, and it appears the two are still very friendly. "Wolfie has had two sets of parents trying to help him on both sides, and I just think, 'The more, the merrier,'" the architect told Harper's Bazaar (via People). While maintaining peace between the two parties is important, Young warns, "When past relationships take up too much emotional space, it can become a subtle source of friction, especially if that closeness feels out of sync with the current partnership." And, Princess Beatrice is not just a step-mom. She and Mozzi share two daughters, and blending families can come with complications.

Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi welcomed their two daughters, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi and Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, in 2021 and 2025, respectively. While Wolfie still spends a lot of time with Mozzi, relationship coach Teresha Young points out that blended families can be tough to navigate. "For Beatrice, it's not just about adjusting to co-parenting with Edoardo; it's about finding her place in those daily dynamics. If decision-making feels imbalanced or if she isn't fully included in parenting decisions, it could eventually lead to tension and disconnection, not just with Edoardo, but also in her connection with his son, Wolfie," she exclusively shares with us.

Young's concerns also lie with Wolfie feeling included with Princess Beatrice and Mozzi's family. "With Beatrice and Edoardo now having two daughters, Sienna and Athena, there ought to be a focus on ensuring Wolfie feels equally valued in the family," she tells us. "Building strong sibling bonds between all three kids is more than just a nice-to-have; it's the glue that can hold their blended family together. A situation where every child feels like they belong and are valued is where emotional safety thrives," Young says. Being under a microscope as royals, especially when they've made some big makeup mistakes, can't be easy, and our expert believes Princess Beatrice and Mozzi's power dynamic is another red flag in their relationship.

Being a royal comes with a lot of responsibilities, and just like the red flags in Prince William and Kate Middleton's marriage, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have quite a few as well. "Edoardo is a successful property developer, whilst Beatrice, though not a working royal, still carries the weight of public expectations and gaze as part of the monarchy. These two worlds can sometimes clash, creating subtle challenges," wellness expert Teresha Young exclusively tells Glam. "If one partner feels overshadowed or confined by tradition, or the other feels pressured to maintain a certain public image, over time, this kind of tension could quietly shift the dynamics of their relationship and even chip away at the emotional closeness they share."

Of course, celebrity couples have to maintain a united front, and Princess Beatrice, who's worn both the best and worst fashion, was seen giving Mozzi a kiss during the Royal Ascot in June 2025. However, her open eyes and body language seem to suggest she wasn't that into it. "In high-profile relationships like theirs, it's also easy to fall into performance mode and get caught up in putting on a show for the world. When energy goes into looking picture-perfect on the surface, there's always the risk that the real emotional connection and closeness take a back seat," Young warns. "Without a strong internal bond that's regularly nurtured, emotional distance can grow quietly in the background, even when everything looks seamless from the outside."
