Elizabeth II departed from the tradition of financing the weddings of royal descendants.
Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain changed her long-standing tradition, and now she will not pay for all the weddings of royal descendants. Princess Beatrice, the last unmarried granddaughter of Elizabeth II, will have a wedding with an Italian bridegroom, and the queen will not finance her. It is reported RBC with reference to the publication Express.
Princess Beatrice and her fiance Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will have to organize a magnificent celebration themselves in 2020 year. A scandal erupted around the couple due to the fact that the divorced Italian will become the future husband of the British.
Over the past two years, the royal family has hosted two large-scale weddings: Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbenk and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. At the same time, the wedding of the Princess of York cost £ 2 million, and the wedding of the Dukes of Sussex - 32 million.
