Princess Beatrice's Rep Responds to Rumors She Broke Coronavirus Lockdown Rules During Dinner Out

Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi were accused of breaking strict UK Coronavirus lockdown rules, and now, their rep is responding.

The married royals were reportedly dining out at the eatery Isabel with four other people, all from different households.

One of the guests was Roberto Cavalli designer Peter Dundas, who actually posted a photo of them together on social media. In the photo, they are masked but they are nowhere near six feet apart.

Their rep has responded to the backlash, saying that this was not a dinner for enjoyment but rather, a work event, which is reportedly allowed under the rules.

“This was a midweek Wednesday evening, work-related, business development dinner, it was held in compliance with all government guidelines, the dinner was held in the early evening and all parties left in good time before the government curfew,” their spokesperson told the Mirror. “Strict masks were worn in line with the government advice.”

Princess Beatrice‘s name was in the headlines just a few weeks ago when a story was finally confirmed about her viral interaction with Ed Sheeran.
