A royal month full of surprises

Beatrice, Edoardo crop

As the summer takes hold, it’s brought plenty of royal surprises with it. A new set of challenges in Spain, a welcome return for visits to some of the most famous royal residences in Europe as lockdown eases and, perhaps the biggest shock of all, a royal wedding.

July 2020 is the month that Princess Beatrice of York married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and they did it without anyone knowing until the register was signed. It was a special day for them and a happy moment in a year filled with challenges and uncertainty. Join Brittani Barger, Moniek Bloks and Lydia Starbuck for this special Royal Central podcast.

You can find all our podcasts on our Podbean page or at your usual podcast site.
