The Princess Royal, accompanied by her niece Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, had a splendid evening in the city. Princess Anne, aged 73, was attired in a stylish blue satin polka dot skirt suit as she officially inaugurated The OWO, which is the former Old War Office in Whitehall. This event marked the culmination of a six-year-long renovation effort.
Before unveiling a commemorative plaque, Princess Anne had a meeting with representatives from the Hinduja Group, who were the driving force behind this project.
Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice, aged 35, and property developer Edoardo, aged 39, enjoyed a romantic evening at the event. They posed for photographs on the grand marble staircase. Beatrice looked graceful in a floral Erdem dress complemented by a black blazer and matching heels. Her husband of three years wore a smart blue suit.
Recently, the couple celebrated their daughter Sienna’s second birthday, and Edoardo shared a rare photograph of the little one.
The attendees of The OWO’s inauguration were treated to special live performances by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and renowned composer Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.
