Princess Beatrice’s husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi has made a heartbreaking admission in his latest interview.
Edoardo is making waves in the property development world with his firm Banda.
Founded in 2007 when Edoardo was just 23, the company has recently completed a collection of townhouses in London’s Leinster Square, Bayswater.
Banda’s reach extends far beyond the capital, with projects in New Delhi, Milan, the Alps, Los Angeles, and the Hamptons.
Not content with his property empire, Edoardo has recently launched Banda Gallery, a curated collection of art, furniture, and homewares. His ambitious career, however, comes with challenges.
In a recent interview with The Financial Times, Edoardo made the heartbreaking admission that his work often keeps him away from Princess Beatrice and their young daughter Sienna.
He said: “I’m always on a train,” describing his frequent travels between design projects and antique-sourcing trips across Europe.
This busy schedule takes him far from the Cotswolds home he shares with Princess Beatrice, their daughter Sienna, and his son Wolfie from a previous relationship.
Balancing his expanding business empire with family responsibilities appears to be an ongoing challenge for the property developer.
Having a stable home is crucial for Edoardo, who moved frequently during his childhood.
In 2021, he and Princess Beatrice purchased a £3.5 million farmhouse in the Cotswolds.
The sprawling property boasts six bedrooms and multiple reception rooms, providing ample space for their family.
A converted outhouse serves as a guesthouse, perfect for visits from Princess Beatrice’s mother, Sarah Ferguson.
Edoardo also emphasised the importance of design in creating a comfortable living environment.
He told the FT: “Design is important to your emotional state,”
Despite their countryside residence, the couple maintains access to an apartment at St James’ Palace for work and engagements in London.
