GOIN’ TO THE CHAPEL: Princess Beatrice is going to the chapel — The Chapel Royal in London — and she’s going to get married, on May 29.
Buckingham Palace said Friday that HRH Princess Beatrice of York and her fiancé Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will wed on the last Friday in May. The couple was engaged in Italy last September.
The wedding will take place in The Chapel Royal in St. James’s Palace, with a private reception to follow, hosted by Queen Elizabeth II, in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.
Buckingham Palace described the wedding venue as a “busy, working chapel,” that holds royal events and regular services that are open to the general public. St. James’s Palace, built by King Henry VIII in the 16th century, sits halfway between Buckingham Palace and Piccadilly, near Green Park and St. James’s Park.
Royal weddings that have taken place in the chapel include that of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg on Feb. 10, 1840. Prince Louis, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s youngest son, was christened there in 2018.
In 1893, the queen’s grandparents King George V and Queen Mary were married in the chapel.
It looks to be a lower-key affair than the wedding of Beatrice’s sister
