Princess Beatrice’s stepson Wolfie left shocked after his friend was given £15,000 from the tooth fairy, his mother reveals, as she takes him on whirlwind trip to the US

Princess Beatrice‘s stepson Wolfie was shocked to learn his friend was given £15,000 from the tooth fairy, his mother Dara Huang recently revealed. 

Dara, 41, documented her and son Christopher ‘Wolfie’ Woolf Mapelli Mozzi’s whirlwind trip to the United States, before the eight-year-old returned to the UK for Kate’s Christmas carol concert earlier this month. 

Sharing pictures of Wolfie from their holiday on Instagram, the architect captioned her post: ‘What a beautiful week! A lot of trips to Target and being with my favourite people, spending all my time with my colleagues, friends and family- so grateful for every second.’ 

She also revealed her ‘favourite Wolfie quote of the week’ that was delivered after her son learned one of his friends was given £15,000 from the tooth fairy. 

Recalling Wolfie’s hilarious one-liner, Dara wrote: ‘My favourite Wolfie quote of the week to his friend Lucian: “What do you mean you got £15,000 pounds from the Tooth Fairy!?! 

“If you tell your parents they would freak out!!!”

British presenter AJ Odudu left a comment under Dara’s post, with the pair having become friends when the Harvard graduate judged Channel 4‘s The Big Interiors Battle in 2023. 

AJ’s noted how generous the tooth fairy had been, writing: ’15k a tooth?!! Send that tooth fairy round to mine asap.’ 

Dara shares Wolfie with Beatrice’s now-husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, with the royal affectionately referring to their son as her ‘bonus son’. 

Reflecting on Princess Beatrice’s relationship with her son, Dara told Harper’s Bazaar: ‘Wolfie has had two sets of parents trying to help him on bothsides, and I just think, “The more, the merrier”.’ 

Dara and Edoardo became engaged in 2017 after the pair met in 2015. One year later, they had their son. 

But their relationship was short-lived and they parted ways in 2018 – just weeks before rumours broke out that Edoardo and Princess Beatrice were in a relationship.

When asked if it was love at first sight with Edoardo, she previously told Lifestyle Asia: ‘He was the father of my child, and he left as quickly as he came, so I would say unfortunately it’s not an instinct you can trust!’ 

However, Edoardo is said to enjoy an amicable relationship with Dara.

In recent years, Wolfie has joined the Royal Family on official engagements, such as the Princess of Wales’s 2024 carol concert.

He was pictured walking alongside Edoardo and Beatrice, who is pregnant with her second child, as they arrived at Westminster Abbey.

Wolfie made his first official appearance with the family at the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee pageant in 2022.

He sat in between his father and stepmother, who refers to him as her ‘bonus son’, in the royal box outside Buckingham Palace. 

Dara’s father emigrated from Taiwan to the US before he became a NASA rocket scientist.

She has an undergraduate degree from the University of Florida – where she grew up – and a masters in architecture from Harvard.

She has spoken openly about being a child of immigrants on social media.

In March 2022, she wrote on Instagram: ‘What does an immigrant look like? My mother was an immigrant of war; leaving everything she had to flee to Taiwan.

‘My father, was the only child of 7 who could afford to be educated. He immigrated to the USA on a full scholarship.

‘After, he served the US government for 40 years at NASA (once part of the military) and pledged his allegiance to defend his new country.

‘I am an immigrant of the United Kingdom. The values of working hard, appreciating opportunity, not taking things for granted and fighting for a better life were the values that I was taught led by the two best examples. We all received dual citizenship.’

She continued: ‘Immigration can be a wonderful thing; a contribution to society, a creation of new prosperity and the beginning of hope. Let’s open our hearts and help those around us, at this time.’

Dara has since established her own architecture and interior design company, Design Haus Liberty, in 2013 and later founded Vivahouse, which converts disused commercial properties into living spaces.

She has worked on projects including the Tate Modern Museum in London and the Tribeca skyscraper in New York. 

She has won awards including the Clifford Wong Prize, the KPF Travelling Fellowship and the Young Architects Award.

She has previously appeared as an expert on Channel 4 programme Britain’s Most Expensive Houses.

Speaking to Architecture Magazine in February, Dara opened up about her upbringing inspired her line of work.

She explained: ‘I loved drawing in my childhood and this led to a career in architecture.

‘Growing up, I was exposed to diverse cultures and their unique architectural marvels.

‘I remember being fascinated by the way different spaces made me feel and how design could profoundly influence our experiences.’

Dara was granted British citizenship in January 2022 – she announced the news with a picture holding her new citizenship in front of a Union Flag and a portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth.

She currently lives in Chelsea, West London, with her son, and is in a relationship with London-based financier, Filippos Kodellas de la Morena, whom she met in 2020.

When her former fiancé and Beatrice announced their engagement, she told MailOnline: ‘I wish the best for Edoardo and Beatrice and look forward to uniting our families.’

Beatrice has been described as a hands-on stepmother, whilst her mother Sarah Ferguson has said she considers Wolfie a grandson.
