Family love was on full display as Princess Eugenie took to Instagram to celebrate her older sister Beatrice’s 37th birthday on August 8.
Sharing a collection of sweet photos, Eugenie expressed just how much her “big sissy” means to her in a touching birthday message.
A Look Back Through Cherished Moments
The Instagram post featured five beautiful images—one of Beatrice smiling warmly on her own, and several showing the two sisters together.
One of the snaps even included their mother, Sarah Ferguson, capturing the close bond between them all.
In one particularly joyful picture, Eugenie and Beatrice were grinning ear to ear while holding up paninis, while another showed them dressed in floral dresses, clearly enjoying each other’s company.
Fans and Friends Join in the Celebration
The post quickly gathered warm birthday wishes from fans around the world.
Comments poured in praising the royal family’s charm and closeness, with one fan writing, “Beautiful ladies with a beautiful mama.
Happiest of birthdays,” while another recalled the day of Beatrice’s birth with fondness.
Many praised the sisters for growing into confident, strong women, reflecting on their public and personal journeys.
Birthday Wishes from Husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi
Among those celebrating was Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who responded to Eugenie’s tribute with a simple string of five hearts.
Edoardo also posted his own affectionate birthday message for Beatrice, sharing a lovely photo of her wearing a cream dress and fascinator, calling her “the greatest” and sending love from himself and their children.
Celebrating Milestones: Anniversary and Growing Family
Beatrice’s birthday comes just weeks after she and Edoardo marked their fifth wedding anniversary.
The couple tied the knot on July 17, 2020, in a small, intimate ceremony at the Royal Chapel of All Saints on the grounds of Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park—the childhood family home of Beatrice.
Edoardo commemorated their anniversary with a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a photo of the couple on a Scottish beach, expressing gratitude for their journey together and looking forward to many more years of love and laughter.
Family Life with Two Young Daughters
Since their wedding, Beatrice and Edoardo have welcomed two daughters: Sienna Elizabeth, born in September 2021, and Athena Elizabeth, who arrived in January 2025.
The family also includes Edoardo’s son Christopher—known as Wolfie—from a previous relationship, whom Beatrice lovingly calls her “bonus child.”
A Wedding Delayed but Unforgettable
Originally, the royal couple had planned to marry on May 29, 2020, at the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace, but the pandemic forced a change of plans.
Instead, their wedding took place five years ago at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor Great Park, surrounded by close family, including the late Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Their ceremony was a modest affair with about 20 guests, adhering to social distancing guidelines.
It contrasted with Princess Eugenie’s extravagant 2018 wedding, which featured a grand carriage procession and reportedly cost the public around £2 million.
