Edo Breaks Marriage Silence

Marriage Rumors Intensify
The property developer married Princess Beatrice in 2020.
Contrasting claims emerged after Edo traveled to Florida in March for work connected with his luxury property and interior design business, Banda, while Beatrice remained in Britain as renewed Epstein disclosures placed her family under intense scrutiny.
The Daily Mail reported at the time a source claimed the marriage had been strained for some time, with Beatrice determined to preserve the relationship while Edo's professional commitments increasingly involved work and travel away from home.
Beatrice and her younger sister, Princess Eugenie, 36, have faced renewed attention because of their parents' links to Epstein, who died aged 66 in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal s-x-trafficking charges.
Documents released in connection with Epstein have contained further material concerning Andrew and Sarah, including correspondence concerning their daughters.
Emails reported by the Mail on Sunday indicated Andrew sent photographs involving Beatrice and Eugenie to Epstein in 2011 and 2012, after the point at which he had previously said his friendship with the financier ended.
The disclosures have continued to place the wider York family under scrutiny and fueled questions about Beatrice's private life.
Couple Shows United Front
Beatrice and Edoardo visited Athens for an anniversary trip.
But Beatrice and Edo presented a united appearance in Athens last month, when they were photographed smiling alongside art curator Aliki Lampropoulos following their sixth wedding anniversary.
Lampropoulos, who previously served on a host committee with Beatrice at The Charge charity gala in London in 2014, shared a selfie of herself with the couple on Instagram.
Edo has also remained publicly engaged with other members of the royal family.
Earlier in the month, he responded to Catherine, Princess of Wales, 44, on Instagram after she posted about completing the Three Peaks Challenge, leaving applause emojis and a red heart beneath her post.
