rincess Beatrice was among the guests at a New York wedding last weekend, where she celebrated the marriage of her long-time friend James Green to his husband James Hirschfeld. The wedding took place on Saturday, October 4, in Long Island, and Beatrice, 37, was seen in a sparkly black dress, smiling beside the happy couple in a photo shared on Instagram Stories. The reception, held in a large tent adorned with flowers, candles, and lanterns, had a cozy and festive atmosphere. A photo of the wedding menu revealed that attendees dined on mushroom risotto, branzino, and enjoyed raspberry pavlova for dessert.
Beatrice and James Green have been friends for over 20 years, having first been photographed together at the Stella Artois Tennis Championship in London in 2004 when Beatrice was 16 and Green was 17. The pair was seen smiling and chatting while watching the semi-final matches, marking the beginning of their long friendship.
Green’s husband, James Hirschfeld, is one of the co-founders of Paperless Post, the popular online invitation company, which he launched with his sister Alexa Hirschfeld in 2009.
Princess Beatrice recently celebrated her 37th birthday on August 8, with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi sharing a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. In his post, Edoardo expressed his love for his wife and their young family, writing, “Happy Birthday to my BEAUTIFUL wife. You are the greatest. We love you so much. E,W,S,A xxxx 🩷🎂😍.” The initials represent their children’s first names—Edoardo’s 9-year-old son, Christopher Woolf (Wolfie), and their two daughters, Sienna, 3, and Athena, 6 months.
Since her marriage to Edoardo on July 17, 2020, Beatrice has become the first member of her generation of the royal family to step into a stepparent role. In a recent interview with HELLO!, the couple’s friend Juliet Angus described them as “the sweetest” and “adorable,” emphasizing the modern and blended family they’ve created. “I love their relationship and how cute and modern they are,” Juliet said. “I love that they’re a blended family — rules don’t have to be such big rules anymore.”
It’s clear that Beatrice’s family life is filled with love and joy as she embraces her role as a stepmother and mother, balancing both personal and royal commitments with grace.
