A rare photo of Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi together appeared to send a clear message amid ongoing marriage rumors, but it may not have had the intended effect.
The duo was seen cozying up with art curator Aliki Lampropoulos while on a trip to Athens, Greece, celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary in July. It was an opportunity for the couple to spend time together since Mozzi's schedule keeps him on the road and away from Beatrice and their children, Sienna Elizabeth, 3, and Athena Elizabeth Rose, 1, quite often. He also shares son Christopher Woolf, 10, with ex-girlfriend Dara Huang.
