Princess Beatrice's husband appeared to be getting into the Christmas spirit as he appeared to purchase a real festive Christmas tree for his family at the weekend.

It comes as Princess Beatrice and her husband will welcome their new baby next year, as the Princess of York continues her second pregnancy.

Uploading a festive story to Instagram, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi shared an image with over 150K followers which consisted of multiple lines of Christmas trees in a row.

The property developer had given fans a glimpse into his Saturday morning and an early visit to what looked like a garden centre. While Edoardo didn’t reveal if he managed to get the perfect Christmas tree, the timing - being the first weekend of December, meant he could have had a good selection to choose from.

His Instagram story featured a frosty scene, complete with a row of lush green trees to his right and a sign for "Ornamental trees" to his left.

Edoardo and Beatrice share a three-year-old daughter together, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, and Edoardo is also the father to his eight-year-old son Christopher, affectionately known as 'Wolfie'.

The stepson of Beatrice's mother is talented architect, Dara Huang, former fiancé of Edoardo.

Dara has spoken warmly about their co-parenting arrangement, previously telling Harper's Bazaar: "Wolfie has had two sets of parents trying to help him on both sides, and I just think 'The more, the merrier'. I feel lucky to have such positive people around him, who really embrace him."

In 2023, Wolfie joined Beatrice at the Princess of Wales' 'Together at Christmas' carol service at Westminster Abbey.

The Royal Family traditionally spends Christmas Day at Sandringham and are pictured walking together to the St Mary Magdalene Church service on the estate.

King Charles leads the family, accompanied by Queen Camilla and other extended family members. Royal Family members often include the King's other nieces and nephews, including Zara Tindall, Peter Phillips, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie and their families.

Meanwhile, Beatrice's mother, The Duchess of York, 65, is well and truly in the festive spirit and like most grandmothers she is ready to spoil her grandchildren this festive season "with sweets, toys and treats".

"Grannies exist to spoil their grandchildren, don't they? I'll be stuffing their stockings with sweets, toys and treats. I think I'm as excited as they are," the Duchess told Hello!

Sarah - affectionately dubbed Fergie by fans and friends - is grandmother to Princess Beatrice’s daughter Sienna, three, and stepson Wolfie, eight, as well as Princess Eugenie’s sons, August, three, and one-year-old Ernest.
