Princess Beatrice's husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi shares wedding poem

‘I carry your heart with me’, writes property tycoon

Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi has shared a poem for his new wife Princess Beatrice.

The royal couple, who met in 2018, tied the knot in a secret ceremony on Friday 17 July at All Saints Chapel in Windsor Great Park.

On Sunday, the property tycoon celebrated by sharing a series of new photos from their big day to his Instagram account alongside a poem dedicated to Beatrice.

“I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you,” the caption read.

”Here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart.

“I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart).”

The poem was originally written by American poet E.E Cummings in June 1952 and given the title “I Carry Your Heart with Me”.

Mapelli Mozzi’s post has since been liked more than 15,000 times and received hundreds of comments from followers sharing their well-wishes for the newlyweds.

“Congratulations. You deserve all the happiness,” one person wrote.

Another added: “Congratulations to you, have a long and happy life together.”

The couple’s intimate ceremony was attended by a handful of friends and family, including the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, as well as Beatrice’s parents Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York.

On Saturday, Buckingham Palace released the first images from the wedding, including a photo of the Queen and Prince Philip standing at a six-foot distance from the newlyweds.

For the ceremony, Beatrice wore a vintage gown that was borrowed from the Queen, who wore the Norman Hartnell gown on several occasions herself. Hartnell, a favourite designer of Her Majesty's, also created the Queen’s own wedding and coronation dresses.

The bride's wedding bouquet also upheld a 162-year-old royal tradition by containing sprigs of myrtle, which were carried by Princess Victoria, the eldest child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, when she married Prince Frederick of Prussia in 1858.

The couple were originally supposed to wed in May at the Chapel Royal of St James's Palace, but the wedding was cancelled in March due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
