Princess Beatrice’s husband Edoardo on creating ‘distinctive visual world’ at home

LEAVE A COMMENT Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi keeps his home life with his wife, Princess Beatrice, and children Sienna, Athena and Wolfie under wraps, but he gives occasional glimpses inside his personal interior preferences through his property development company, Banda.

When asked about his "Instagram crush" in a quick-fire Q&A shared on Banda's Instagram, the 42-year-old replied: "Augustin Deleuze and Sophie Pinet, two entirely distinctive visual worlds that inspire us."

Augustin is co-founder of Parisian furniture house Pierre Augustin Rose, which is known for its sculptural, modern rounded sofas designed to sit alongside relaxed antiques, while Sophie's co-founded hardware and fittings label Inventaire Mobilier features rustic, handmade items that are practical rather than trendy showroom pieces.

This preference for functionality was confirmed in Edoardo's confession that his most-cherished interior piece is "a pair of George Nakashima chairs."

It is likely that Edoardo's professional tastes bleed into his personal design choices at his two homes. Edoardo and Beatrice split their time between a £3 million six-bedroom farmhouse in the Cotswolds, which features a swimming pool, a tennis court, and a converted "party barn", and an apartment inside St James's Palace, near where their children go to school.

In 2024, Edoardo clarified why they enjoy two different bases. While discussing Edoardo's £42 million design project in Belgravia, The Times reported: "He says he will see the site often when he walks his youngest to school from their grace-and-favour apartment in St James’s Palace and then proceeds to his design studio on the King’s Road."

Edoardo's projects with Banda often require overseas travel, which has previously sparked rumours about his marriage with Princess Beatrice.

Dispelling the rumours, a source previously revealed to HELLO!: "The only thing Bea and Edo are navigating is their busy jobs and looking after their children! They've both had recent stints working abroad and, like so many working parents, have been balancing work with looking after the kids."
