Edo and Beatrice tied the knot at Royal Chapel of All Saints, in the grounds of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s home of Royal Lodge, in Windsor Great Park, surrounded by close family including the late Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank attended, as did Edo’s son Christopher, known as Wolfie.
They had been due to wed on May 29 at the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace, but those plans were scrapped due to the pandemic.
Instead, they exchanged vows on this day five years ago at the Royal Chapel of All Saints, in the grounds of Royal Lodge, Beatrice’s childhood family home in Windsor Great Park.
The intimate ceremony, which adhered to social distancing measures, was attended by around 20 guests.
It was strikingly low-key, compared to Princess Eugenie’s extravagant 2018 nuptials, which featured a carriage procession around Windsor and incurred around £2 million in public expenses.
