The Cotswolds may be serene, but for Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the hustle never stops.
Fresh off a romantic trip to Scotland with Princess Beatrice to mark their fifth anniversary, the 41-year-old interior designer and property developer wasted no time diving back into his design work—offering a glimpse into his latest project that’s as refined as it is minimalist.
Back to Business—Edo Style
Within hours of returning from the Highlands, Edoardo took to Instagram to share a striking render of a luxury bathroom concept, showcasing his signature style—cool, contemporary, and meticulously detailed.
The design centers on a pill-shaped freestanding bathtub, commanding attention in a room swathed entirely in pristine white marble streaked with dark grey veins. Mirrors flank a full-length sink carved from the same stone, while a soft yellow light gently warms the space, contrasting with the cool palette to evoke quiet luxury.
“Balance. Texture. Stillness,” Edoardo captioned the post. “The simplicity of form tells its own story.”
Highlands to High-End
The post comes just hours after the businessman—often affectionately referred to as “Edo”—shared a rare personal photo with Beatrice from their Scottish retreat. The couple, known for maintaining a relatively low public profile, marked their fifth wedding anniversary quietly in the countryside, far from royal pageantry.
While few details have emerged from the trip, insiders say it was a “peaceful and intimate break”—one that clearly left Edoardo recharged and creatively inspired.
Design Meets Dynasty
Mapelli Mozzi heads Banda Property, the high-end design and development firm he founded, which caters to a discreet but affluent clientele across London and beyond. His design aesthetic leans heavily on natural materials, architectural purity, and emotional resonance—a sharp yet thoughtful sensibility that’s drawn attention from art collectors, tastemakers, and even members of the royal family.
His swift return to social media signals not just a strong work ethic, but perhaps a reminder of the brand he’s continuously building—one that bridges the elite circles of design, royalty, and entrepreneurship.
Royal Ties and a Quiet Power Couple
While Princess Beatrice may not command the same tabloid spotlight as other royals, her marriage to Edoardo has carved out a new archetype: the private, quietly influential royal couple. Their appearances are few and far between, but when they do surface—like during their trip north—they often signal strong personal milestones rather than public obligations.
The Scotland getaway was, in part, a nod to their shared love for privacy and nature. But it’s also worth noting that Beatrice and Edoardo’s Scottish ties echo the broader royal family’s affection for the region, long favored as a private sanctuary.
