Princess Beatrice's fiance

108 replies

Press is reporting that Beatrice's fiance Edoardo has a 2 year old son and was previously engaged to the baby's mother. Supposedly he was still living with the ex when he started dating Beatrice. I don't want to link to the Daily Mail but this all seems rather...surprising?

Why is it? People have new relationships, it's life.

TottieandMarchpane · 27/09/2019 03:22

You mean you want to have a good old gossip about the scandalous details?

Don’t let us stop you.

New relationships happen yes.

But not usually while you're still living with your partner and your child.

From what I've read, that's all it was. They were still living together as in sharing the same house, but the relationship had ended.

Being a stepmother is not for the fainthearted either. I hope Beatrice knows what she's signing up for.

Maybe she’s not fainthearted.

Redglitter · 27/09/2019 04:12

Cant see what the issue is. His relationship broke down he started a new one. Common place these days. Beatrice is doing what millions have done before her and has a step child. Cant see why it's even worth mentioning

The Daily Mail, who have historically ridiculed the York sisters endlessly, have apparently decided they’re on their side. As they’re not the Duchess of Sussex.

TheMustressMhor · 27/09/2019 04:17

I don't understand why you've started a thread about it - unless it's just to be bitchy.

Marnie76 · 27/09/2019 04:31

Albert - well yes, he’s not a woman, or of colour so for the Daily Mail he’s fine! (I’m sure he is BTW)

Well there's that.

Trying to imagine the response to "AIBU for starting a relationship with a man who still lives with his (ex) partner and their baby" and for some reason don't think it would be so live and let live.

It's lovely that Beatrice is engaged and happy. She had a crushing blow from the previous long term boyfriend. And for all we know his previous GF may have made him unhappy and ended it.
I'm absolutely sure that B has considered his son, why wouldn't she? She's not an idiot.
Her and her fiancé look so happy.
Why try to lead a bitchy thread, OP? Spend your time in a positive manner is my suggestion

Unless you are the ex partner what is it to do with anyone?
The DM are the worst kind of journalists and the fact that you are quoting them says more to me about you than it does Princess B.

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 27/09/2019 04:49

Oh who cares?

Well being the child of her parents can't have been a walkin the park either.

Limpshade · 27/09/2019 04:55

Press has been "reporting" this information since they were first photographed together so you are a bit late to the pearl-clutching party.

It's 2019, who cares?!

meccacos2 · 27/09/2019 05:05

He was enraged to be married to the mother of his child. She had no idea he was about to leave her fir Beatrice.

He is a sociopathic social climber and Beatrice is an inbred entitled member of the RF.

The ex fiancé has shown utter class by not commenting publicly, but everyone knows what happened.

It wasn’t just reported by the daily mail - it was public knowledge.

DonKeyshot · 27/09/2019 05:08

Without wishing either of them ill, I can't help thinking that the curse of 'marry in haste, repent at leisure' will have Bea, and her cousin Harry, heading for the divorce court in the not too distant future.

DarkMutterings · 27/09/2019 05:17

I always think these kinds of posts are journalists gauging public opinion before deciding to defend or destroy celebrities.

Limpshade · 27/09/2019 05:29

Me too, @DarkMutterings

Check my posting history I’m not even remotely a journo.

A princess rushing into marriage with a man who was recently engaged to and had a baby with a “commoner” rubs me the wrong way.

Like imagine how horrible she must feel looking at all this press about them being so loved up while she’s dealing with a tantruming toddler.

AutumnCrow · 27/09/2019 05:42

I think @DarkMutterings makes a good point.

I also think I'd bet good money on a forthcoming story appearing about a 'Lavish royal wedding planned while Brexit Britain goes short of essential medicines'. Give it till November. Maybe sooner.

.......
They had two very good parents who loved them and still love them, which is obvious. People can still care for their children after separation and divorce however the Duke and Duchess of York always did a lot of things, such as going away on hollday, together as a family and for a few years they have lived under the same roof.

I'm very pleased Beatrice is marrying, didn't know her fiance had a son (who i hope will be at their wedding), but once people get past a certain age they often do have a child or children.As long as their father cares for them, so what? Princess Beatrice is reputed to be good with children and she wouldn't have become involved with her fiance if she had a problem with it.
