I know, it is so wonderful. 11:00 Friday morning and the Queen and Prince Philip came out of quarantine to attend. I hate she missed out on the hoop la but being together is all that matters.

Princess Beatrice has married Italian property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in a surprise secret ceremony at Windsor Castle.

The couple were due to tie the knot at the Chapel Royal of St James's Palace on 29 May. But their ceremony was postponed due to Covid-19 and no new date was given by the palace at the time.

Beatrice, 31, and Edo exchanged vows today at 11am at the Royal Chapel of All Saints, in the grounds of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's home of Royal Lodge, in Windsor Great Park. On marriage Beatrice becomes a stepmother to Edo's son Christopher, known as Wolfie.

The bride's grandparents the Queen, 94, and the Duke of Edinburgh, 99, who have both been in isolation at Windsor Castle, were in attendance and appeared in excellent spirits as they left the service. The Queen, who has now seen six of her eight grandchildren marry, looked resplendent in mint green for the occasion.

The bride's parents, Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York as well as her sister Princess Eugenie, 30, are believed to have been among the 20 or so guests in attendance, with the guest list vastly stripped back due to Covid-19 restrictions which allow a maximum of 30 people.

A statement released by the palace said the: 'The small ceremony was attended by The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh and close family. The wedding took place in accordance with all relevant Government guidelines.'

The chapel which can accomodate 180 people was an ideal choice for social distancing, especially given the bride's grandparents are both in their 90s and in a high risk group, and with only family in attendance, it means that the couple will have to celebrate with celebrity friends such as Ellie Goulding, Karlie Kloss and Cressida Bonas at a later date.

It is understood the couple will not be releasing a wedding photo today because they do not want to overshadow the investiture of Captain Tom Moore, who is due to receive his knighthood from the Queen at Windsor Castle this afternoon.

It's wonderful that the Queen and Prince Phillip were able to attend. And probably best, given Andrew's bad situation, that they were married in a private chapel on the grounds of Andrew's and Fergie's home.

Why wait for this horrible time to pass? Who needs a grand wedding? Best to both.

Wonderful, beautiful couple and photo.

And I like the floral print dress/top.

Personally, I like the idea of a small wedding.

I've attended many, many weddings, and the best, most comfortable, memorable ones (all around, including for the bride and groom) were the small-ish ones.

Wishing this couple the best of luck and health.

That's the last paragraph of the above post:

"It is understood the couple will not be releasing a wedding photo today because they do not want to overshadow the investiture of Captain Tom Moore, who is due to receive his knighthood from the Queen at Windsor Castle this afternoon."

How gracious of the couple to not want to overshadow his knighthood ceremony. Much respect for them!

Some would not be so kind about not 'upstaging' another at an event.......

That is so caring of them. I certainly can think of some others who would not mind upstaging someone's big day in that family.

I was going to suggest the same @KingstonsMom... @beckyb1012... Lovely of them and just think, Bea managed to score a direct hit for her sis with this part of the announcement... True class always shines through and the lack thereof always becomes evident... As for the wedding, good for them and what a lovely venue. Will look forward to seeing the wedding pictures when released...

Very lovely. They sound very level-headed and grounded. I’m glad they didn’t wait. The marriage is what really matters. I think some couples get too focused on peripheral events that aren’t really important.

So glad that deserving Captain Tom Moore is getting his knighthood! If I'm remembering right, he is at least 100, and raised a huge sum for the treatment of pandemic patients, with his fundraising walks. Bravo!

Hurrah! Some happy, bubbly news! An intimate wedding was the perfect answer in the face of the obstacles/hurdles the young couple had before them.

I was thrilled to see Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were able to attend. Mellow...

If they really didn't want to upstage some guy's ceremony, seems like they wouldn't have announced they're married until later.
