Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi

Edoardo Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi (born 19 November 1983), also known as Edo, is an English property developer and member of an Italian noble family. He is the founder and chief executive of Banda Property, a property development and interior design company. He became a member of the British royal family in 2020 when he married Princess Beatrice, the elder daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and a niece of King Charles III. He has a daughter with Beatrice and a son from a previous relationship with Dara Huang. Background Mapelli Mozzi was born at the Portland Hospital in the West End of London. He is the son of Alessandro "Alex" Mapelli-Mozzi, a British Olympian and member of a formerly titled Italian noble family whose ancestral seat is Villa Mapelli Mozzi in the Bergamo province of Italy. The BBC states that Mapelli Mozzi is a count; although titles of nobility are not officially recognised in the Italian Republic, they can still be used out of courtesy. That title of nobility of the Kingdom of Italy was given to his family in 1913 by King Victor Emmanuel III to all male descendants bearing the surname of the noble family of Mozzi, which was incorporated to the family of Mapelli.
