Princess Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi (opens in new tab) in Windsor last Friday, in a pared-down ceremony that wasn't announced to the public until afterwards. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the royal couple's guestlist was dramatically reduced, with only their immediate family in attendance.

After the wedding, both Beatrice's mom, Sarah Ferguson, and sister, Princess Eugenie, took to Instagram to congratulate her. Sarah, Duchess of York, shared a quote about happiness and gratitude by motivational speaker Denis Waitley on Monday, writing, "Thank you to all the very special and kind people that took the time and trouble to send amazingly caring and supportive messages."

"Never has a mother been more proud than the wedding of Eugenie and Jack, and again with my Beatrice’s loving wedding to Dear Edo," Sarah continued. "I am so lucky with my girls, and now the best sons-in-law."

"Happy wedding day to you both xxxx," she finished.
