Princess Beatrice, 31, began dating Italian property developer Edoardo, 34, in October last year, although the pair are believed to have known each other for years. The official statement reveals that the couple got engaged during a weekend away in Italy earlier this month, and that they plan to marry in 2020.
No other details of the wedding have been released, with the statement adding that ‘further details will be announced in due course.’
Who’s excited for another royal wedding then?!
