Buckingham Palace prepares for the most talked-about divorce: Charles III already knows

When public attention falls on a couple, the scrutiny is very thorough. To the extent that any gesture, even something routine, can become suspicious. Everyone knows that, in royalty, not everything that glitters is true harmony.

Even under a royal title, there are marital problems that can slip out of one's hands, or out of appearances. This is what royalty in the United Kingdom is experiencing, something nobody expected, but it has happened. Sometimes, it is enough to observe to notice that something no longer fits.

Charles III's niece could be about to separate

Beatrice of York, Charles III's niece, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have built a marriage surrounded by expectations. Their appearances have been commented on, analyzed, and even idealized. But the tone has changed in recent times.

According to British media such as The List, Edoardo has such a fast-paced professional life that he barely stops at home. He himself has said that "he's always on the train" for work and what seemed temporary has become routine. The distance is no longer just physical, but emotional, according to close sources.

Beatrice has reportedly been more alone since the birth of Athena Elizabeth, as The List points out, financial stability "doesn't provide company or affection." Recent gestures have been interpreted as signs of a fracture. Although there are no statements, for many, the silence has become too obvious.

Images that don't lie

During Royal Ascot 2025, the couple was closely watched by the press and the public. Beatrice appeared with a serious expression, unusual at events of such importance. Edoardo was present, but the connection between them was minimal.

The kiss they shared in front of the cameras was described as "super embarrassing and fake." More than an affectionate gesture, it seemed like a poorly rehearsed choreography. The discomfort between them was obvious.

The exposure at an event of that caliber doesn't forgive nuances. When spontaneity is lost, the artificiality becomes more noticeable. This time, not even protocol could cover the distance that separates them.

The sign behind the silence

There are no statements, but there are signs. Those signs point to a wear that can no longer be hidden. The relationship, without saying it, seems to be going through a complex stage.

In contexts where everything is measured and everything is seen, keeping silent is also a way of speaking. Beatrice, Charles III's niece, and Edoardo, without saying a word, have already said plenty.
