Why Princess Beatrice's Royal Wedding Will Earn Her This New Title Unlike Sister Princess Eugenie
Princess Beatrice will be going through a lot of changes following her wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, including getting some new titles.
While it's not unusual for royals to received additional titles from Queen Elizabeth II after their nuptials -- think Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who received the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex -- Bea's are different in the fact that her new titles will be coming from her soon-to-be husband's side of the family.
When the two marry, Bea will become an Italian "Contessa" and "Nobile Donna," or noblewoman. As explained by People, Edoardo "descends from Italian aristocracy" and, as the eldest son of the family, he will "inherit the family’s ancestral seat, the 18th century Villa Mapelli Mozzi palace in northern Italy" from his father, Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi.

In addition to a few new names, Princess Bea will also gain a son. Following the swapping of "I do's," she will officially become the stepmother to Edoardo's son Christopher, who is also known as Wolfie.
Wolfie comes from the financier's previous relationship with American architect and designer Dara Huang. She reportedly gave birth to their only child in 2016. Just two years later, though, the previously engaged couple broke up.
Princess Beatrice and Edoardo are believed to have begun dating in 2018, shortly after his split from Huang. The couple got engaged in Italy in September 2019, with their engagement being formally announced by the Duke of York's Office that same month.
Almost five months later, on Feb. 7, details were revealed about their upcoming commitment ceremony, which included the main information that people wanted to know -- when and where it will take place. The royal wedding will take happen on May 29 at the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace, followed by a private reception at Buckingham Palace.
