The Internet was recently agog with the news of the engagement of Princess Beatrice of York to Italian businessman, Edoardo Mozzi.

Adorable pictures of the sweet-looking couple soon pervaded the cyberspace and social media channels, with many keen to know more about the man who captured the heart of the beautiful princess.

WHO IS EDOARDO MAPELLI MOZZI?

The 34-year-old Edoardo is also known as Edo and is a multimillionaire, making his wealth from selling property. He is a father to a son, named Wolfie, who he had from his relationship with Dara Huang, his ex-fiancée.

Edoardo’s parents are Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi and Nikki Williams-Ellis. His father, Alessandro is a count and used to be an alpine skier; he represented Great Britain during the 1972 Winter Olympics in the Japanese city of Sapporo.

His mother, Nikki, is married to David Williams-Ellis, a sculptor. She was once married to the late Christopher Shale, who was friends with former British Prime Minister, David Cameron.

It was the former Prime Minister who put Mrs. Nikki Williams-Ellis’s name forward for appointment as MBE, with her name appearing on his resignation Honors List.

Edoardo has been successful in his business and owns a company called Banda, which acts as a property development firm.

His Instagram page has a gallery showing luxurious homes in cities like London and New York, all part of Banda’s success story.

Edo is an alumnus of the University of Edinburgh and co-founded a charity organization known as “Charity Cricket Builds Hope,” which teaches people how to play Cricket in Rwanda, using the sport as a tool to drive positive social change.
