Many commentators on the DM say that about both Edo and Jack (and sometimes Catherine and Meghan ... although less so with Catherine these days) and as for Charles and Camilla they are simply pilloried from pillar to post for the most part - not even the Queen is exempt from DM posters.

The DM commentators are the bitterest, most cynical and self hating people on the planet.

How dare other people have fulfilling and happy lives...it drives them crazy.:whistling:
 
Beatrice and Edo are in IMO one of the best couples of the BRF, why on earth would he want to marry her for status? Edo and Beatrice had known each other for years and her parents were friends with his family for years and Edo is a self-made businessman in real estate. As people will say today, "Haters gonna hate", but more importantly they are a happy couple celebrating two ore three years of marriage.
 
:previous: Today is, in fact, their 2nd wedding anniversary.

Good for them.;)

I do really like them as a couple and I think Edo has proven himself a LOT in the last couple of years but there are reasons why some (even here) were wary of him.

1) He came on the scene as a boyfriend just as Eugenie was getting married, leading people to worry that she was potentially making poor decisions in her "younger sister got married, last unmarried adult cousin" panic. Despite knowing each other for years the timing seemed significant.

2) They moved in together very quickly.

3) There originally appeared to be overlap between Beatrice and Dara. Dara's parents gave an interview where they said that Edo and Dara were still engaged when he started seeing Bea. Leading people to think that he left a self made woman he had a child with once the opportunity to date a princess come up. This has since been denied by Dara, who it seems may not have told her parents about the break up. Although there does not appear to have been much of a gap between the two. But that's their business.

4) Beatrice has not had the best luck with boyfriends and a lot of people's perceptions were coloured by her relationship with Dave Clark which lasted for 10 years and when they broke up he was married and expecting a baby with someone else within the year. This wasn't helped by her mother predicting marriage between her and Dave in interviews over the years, leading many to assume Bea wanted it and Dave didn't and thus lots of "desperate Beatrice" stories.

5) In some early photos it seemed as though he had "camera hungry eyes" that sought out paps. In reality he had never gone through this before and was probably startled to have strangers shouting his name when out for the evening.

6) It probably didn't help that the papers dubbed him "the Italian tycoon" like a bad romance novel stereotype.

7) Beatrice and Eugenie suffered for years under the "ugly step sister" caricatures not just in the UK but worldwide based on some occasionally unfortunate fashion choices (that pretzel hat haunted her) and always appearing together and their parents various scandals despite they themselves apparently just trying to live their lives. Hence "why did he want to be with *her* when as a rich, handsome guy with great connections he could be with anyone?" Because people who saw her picture about her once a year or so assumed she was Fergie 2.0 with a ridiculous hat.

I'm not saying that was fair or based in reality or that I agree with it but those were some of the points floating around when (not just DM commenters) thought he was just with her for reasons other than herself.

Edo has however proved himself extremely well over the last couple of years when so many predicted he would use COVID as an excuse to flee during the worst of the Andrew scandal but he didn't, clearly. Obviously he's not a working royal but he's done well whenever he's had to accompany Bea to anything and not put a foot wrong. He's had no scandals and it appears he gets on with a lot of the family and that Wolfie has been welcomed as well, which is lovely to see.

I don't believe he was ever formally engaged to Dara Huang. Why was there no formal announcement via the papers by either set of parents?

At that level of society there is ALWAYS an announcement. Yet almost two years after the birth of their son, they were still coasting with Dara's father admitting that Edo always acted evasive when questioned about a wedding.

Edo and Dara conceived a baby within weeks of meeting. What likely happened is that once this unplanned but wanted child was born and the excitement of becoming a father had died down a bit, Edoardo began to rethink the idea of a commitment to Dara.

She was not on his arm as his date at Eugenie's wedding.

Things had moved very quickly...too quickly. It's messy and unfortunate but not as painful as a divorce would have been.:ermm:

Edo seems ot have moved on very quickly
 
If there's one thing I've learned with age it's that things are rarely as black and white as they seem on the surface and that life comes with many, many more gray areas than we ever dreamed possible. This is particularly true with matters of the heart. While on the surface it did appear as though Bea and Edo might not have had the cleanest of starts, it doesn't really matter. In the end they're clearly happy and in love, they have two much loved children and Wolfie has quite clearly been welcomed into the RF. Edo appears to have a good co-parenting relationship with Dara and given the fact that Wolfie was allowed to be seen publicly at the concert and is often seen in public with Bea and Edo, I'd venture to guess that Dara and Bea have reached an amicable understanding, too. All in all, it really doesn't matter what the nuances of the earliest stages of their relationship were and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Real love is a hard thing to find and when you find it, you grab on with both hands and don't let go. This very much appears to be the situation Bea and Edo found themselves in and while the optics might have been a little bit gray, I applaud them.
 
Both Beatrice and Edo look wonderful and happy. Good luck, good health and God bless them.
 
Thank you for the correction. **Two years

The easy way to remember is: they married during the first months of the pandemic. I am quite sure many will know for many years to come that it was 2020 when the pandemic hit the world.
