Her husband broke a royal Christmas tradition by Meghan Markle

Thanks to Meghan Markle, Edoardo Mapelli-Mozzi put an end to one of the Crown’s traditions. For Christmas, the husband of Princess Beatrice was entitled to an immense privilege.

Meghan Markle has set a precedent within the British royal family. Previous that benefited Edoardo Mapelli-Mozzi, the husband of Princess Beatrice. In 2019, before marrying the granddaughter of Elizabeth II, the Italian aristocrat was entitled to a favor that was only granted to Meghan Markle before him. He was entitled to attend the Christmas service at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham. in the presence of members of the British Crown. A tradition to which people outside the royal family are rarely invited… But Edoardo Mapelli-Mozzi had the rare privilege of being able to join his future in-laws at Christmas celebrations, despite the fact that ‘he had not yet married Princess Beatrice and therefore, officially, he was not yet part of the family.

It must be said that this tradition had already been abandoned in 2017 when Prince Harry invited his future wife Meghan Markle to Sandrigham. to celebrate the end of the year parties with members of the Crown. Unlike the Duchess of Sussex and Edoardo, Kate Middleton and Mike Tindall had to wait until they married their respective spouses, Prince William and Zara Tindall, before they could share the royal family meal. For Beatrice and Edoardo, this Christmas will, in any case, have a special flavor. In fact, this will be the first for her daughter, Sienna, who was born last September. The little family could also join Elizabeth II in Norfolk. This year, Her Majesty will spend her first Christmas since the death of her husband, Prince Philip, last April. In her domain, she will be surrounded by a large part of her family.

Royal Christmas: what are the Crown members up to this year?

If the queen’s guest list has not yet been formalized, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles should be present by your side. The same goes for Prince William, Kate Middleton and their three children. At their table, they should dine with Ple rince Edward, his wife Sophie, and their children, Louise and James, who have confirmed their attendance. Princess Anne and her children Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall are also expected to attend. As every year, the program for members of the Crown will be very specific.. Guests typically arrive in the early afternoon on Christmas Day and walk to the church of Santa Maria Magdalena, located on the grounds, to attend mass. After the service is over, the royals return to Sandringham House for dinner.
