Princess Beatrice puts on united front with husband Edo during lunch out amid fears her ‘marriage is in trouble’ in wake of Epstein scandal
Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Display Solidarity at London Sushi Spot Amid Rumors of Strain
Following the recent revelations about her parents’ ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, were spotted together at a sushi restaurant in Notting Hill. The couple spent two hours at the trendy pine-panelled Eel Sushi Bar, where they celebrated a birthday gathering before departing in an electric Porsche.
Beatrice, 37, appeared cheerful as she left the venue, seemingly reinforcing her public image of marital harmony. However, whispers of tension have circulated since the Epstein scandal escalated, with friends suggesting the couple’s relationship has faced challenges recently.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Public Appearance and Relocation
Beatrice’s father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, recently made a solitary appearance near Wood Farm in Norfolk. The 66-year-old former prince took a 90-minute dog walk, marking his first public outing since being arrested last month. This came after he was photographed four weeks ago slumped in a Range Rover, trying to evade photographers as he left a Norfolk police station.
Andrew was released under investigation after spending 11 hours in custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office. His relocation to a five-bedroom residence in Norfolk has been accompanied by royal-stamped removal boxes, indicating his continued effort to maintain his royal facade despite the scandal.
Sarah Ferguson’s Cloning Ambitions for Queen’s Corgis
Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice’s mother, Sarah Ferguson, is reportedly involved in discussions to clone the late Queen’s corgis for a high-profile reality TV project. According to a source, Fergie had previously explored ways to capitalize on her remaining royal status, including ideas to breed the dogs. The concept of cloning was even proposed during meetings with US television executives.
“She was pushing to get back into TV and make some money,” the source noted. “The idea of featuring the Queen’s corgis in a show, and even cloning them, was discussed.”
The plan involves replicating the beloved corgis, Muick and Sandy, for a show that could sell the genetically identical versions to global enthusiasts. Although pet cloning is not permitted in the UK beyond research, it is legal to send samples to the US for the procedure, which can yield cloned dogs priced up to £75,000.
As Sarah Ferguson’s whereabouts remain undisclosed, she has been in hiding since her close connection to Epstein was exposed. Now, she faces scrutiny as she prepares to testify in the US. A spokesperson stated: “Sarah Ferguson never progressed any discussions with Halcyon Studios, which were engineered by others.”
King Charles’ Decision to Strip Royal Title
King Charles III stripped his brother of his royal title last November in the wake of the Epstein scandal. This move has cast a shadow over the family’s public image, with Andrew’s recent actions adding to the speculation about his personal life and royal status.
