Princess Beatrice‘s husband has broken his silence regarding his frequent absence from his family with a brutal four-word comment. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi has been married to Beatrice since 2020, with the couple now sharing two young daughters, as well as Edoardo’s son, nine-year-old Wolfie, from a previous relationship.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Edoardo defended his extensive trips, especially during a challenging period for Beatrice given the scandal surrounding her father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The property developer maintained that the trips were essential for the survival of his company, Banda Property, saying that “it is completely normal”.

He told the publication: “As you well know, it is completely normal for a business owner to travel for work. It happens in every industry.”
