Princess Beatrice has reportedly been “drowning her sorrows” in Saint-Tropez as fears grow for her wellbeing and her marriage to Italian aristocrat Edoardo Mapelli-Mozzi.
Just weeks after images of Bea, 37, dancing on tables at a friend’s birthday bash were splashed across social media, the troubled royal faces accusations of skipping the Trooping the Colour ceremony in favour of attending a pal’s wedding in Austria.
All of which would be fine, except reports are that Beatrice is not OK. Andrew Mountbatten-Windor and Sarah Ferguson’s eldest daughter spent the day in bed after letting loose at Saint-Tropez’s Le Club 55. Spotted at the same venue a day later, sources say husband Edo, 42, was happily mingling with Britain’s Got Talent star Amanda Holden and former glamour model Kelly Brook, enjoying a $250-a-bottle Domaine de la Rouillère rosé.
An escape to France
Spiriting her away to the South of France, a wealthy friend figured Bea deserved some “respite”, and that vitamin D and good food could help.
“Beatrice is being torn in all directions and none of them are what she wants,” a close source reveals to Woman’s Day.
“She’s trying desperately to keep up with Edo in order to maintain appearances, but it’s too much – she doesn’t have the stamina to party like she used to in her twenties.”
Defending his distance
Last week, Edo was forced to publicly defend his frequent business trips abroad, including a two-week stint in the US shortly after Beatrice’s father’s arrest. But Edo’s supporters insist he has to court wealthy people who are willing to overlook his associations with the dodgy York family if he is to keep his property business afloat.
“He takes pride in being the family breadwinner, but the perks of marrying into the royal family are fast disappearing,” says our insider.
Reports the King is under pressure to remove support – he was secretly footing the bill for Bea’s apartment in St James’s Palace, where Edo often hosted clients – could spell financial trouble for the couple.
“Her parents’ scandals have not made things easy with her uncle and while she’s not without her allies – her aunt Anne is making a big effort to try to get Beatrice and Eugenie back on the working roster – they are hearing that William’s against it. “In many ways, the party’s over for both Edo and Beatrice – and only time will tell if her marriage will be able to survive the fallout.”
Andrew’s plot to destroy the monarchy!
Andrew Mountbatten- Windsor is causing fresh trouble as he rallies his daughters against the King and pushes for ex-wife Sarah Ferguson to receive a payout – while vowing to take down the monarchy if he doesn’t get what he wants!
“Andrew is seething,” an insider tells us.
“He’s convinced himself that Charles is deliberately trying to erase the entire York branch of the family. He thinks he’s been used as a scapegoat and he won’t back down quietly.”
Ahead of Peter Phillips’ wedding, Andrew, 66, wrote a defiant email encouraging Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, 36, to hold their heads high and fight for their rights.
“He’s vowed not to let them be sidelined and is saying he’ll make an almighty stink if they’re evicted. He also wants money from Charles as compensation for his own eviction and he says Sarah deserves a chunk. Andrew is hellbent on revenge, with nothing left to lose.”
