Princess Beatrice puts on united front with husband Edo during lunch out amid fears her ‘marriage is in trouble’ in wake of Epstein scandal

Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Maintain Public Solidarity Amid Royal Scandal

In a display of public unity, Princess Beatrice and her spouse Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi were spotted together at a sushi bar in Notting Hill. The couple’s time at the Eel Sushi Bar, which included a lengthy lunch, was captured as they were later collected in an electric Porsche.

They spent two hours inside the trendy pine-panelled Japanese eatery, enjoying a large birthday celebration before departing. This outing followed reports that suggested tension between the royal and her husband since the unfolding of their parents’ connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

Friends of the royal family shared with The Mail on Sunday that relations between Beatrice and Edoardo had been strained for some time. The revelation of their parents’ dealings with the convicted paedophile had sparked concerns about the couple’s stability.

Meanwhile, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Beatrice’s father, made a public appearance for the first time since his arrest last month. The 66-year-old was seen walking his dog alone near Wood Farm in Norfolk, a brief but notable moment.

This was the first image of the former Duke of York since he was photographed four weeks ago slumped in a Range Rover as he left a Norfolk police station. The recent visit to the countryside marked a return to visibility for the disgraced royal.

King Charles III had previously stripped Andrew of his royal title in November 2023, following the Epstein scandal. The removal boxes, labeled ‘HRH office’ and ‘HRH meeting room’, arrived at his new residence, indicating his continued use of the honorific.

A source revealed that Sarah Ferguson, Beatrice’s mother, was engaged in discussions about cloning the Queen’s corgis for a reality TV venture. The idea, described as ‘bold and controversial’ by Hollywood producers, involved replicating the late monarch’s pets to sell to global dog enthusiasts.

“She was pushing to get back into TV and make some money,” said a source. “She came up with the idea of featuring the Queen’s corgis in a show. And that included the idea of breeding them. Bizarre as it sounds, the notion of cloning them was discussed.”

While pet cloning is not permitted in the UK for commercial purposes, it is allowed in the US. This legal distinction enables the transfer of samples for replication across borders. Sarah Ferguson’s current whereabouts remain undisclosed as she continues to avoid scrutiny following her association with Epstein.
