The story between Beatrice and Paolo
Princess Beatrice, who is now married to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and together with him became the mother of their first daughter Sienna Elizabeth in 2021, has never spoken about the disappearance of her ex-boyfriend in recent months but some people close to her, according to what reports the Sun have underlined his pain in recent days. “Her heart is broken,” a friend reportedly told the tabloids.

His three-year probation was extended by six months and Beatrice publicly ended the romance.

But if it came out that Bea and I were dating, it wouldn’t be good for her or Sarah’s image, so everyone was trying to keep our relationship a secret.».
After the split, Paolo Liuzzo claimed that Bea and Eugenie, then 15, had attended a party in Jamaica where guests smoked cannabis and took hallucinogenic mushrooms.
