Beatrice of York’s son will have a noble title (all Italian)

The son of Beatrice of York (unlike that of his sister Eugenie) will have a noble title. And it will be a an all-Italian title, inherited from the father of Bergamo origins Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. The little one will be conte, like the father, eldest son of the count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi. Even Beatrice, since she said “yes” to Edoardo, can boast the title of countess. On the other hand, he is not a count Christopher «Wolfie» Woolf, the 5-year-old boy that Edoardo got from the former Dara Huang. Reason: the baby’s parents have never been married.

In Italy the noble titles they were abolishedl 1948. The article 3 of the Constitutional Charter, which establishes the principle of equality of citizens, reads in fact: “Noble titles are not recognized; the predicates of those existing before October 28, 1922 are valid as part of the name ». The title that Beatrice’s eldest son will inherit, in short, is devoid of any importance. Ma preserves a historical heritage: the Mapelli Mozzi, in 1985, celebrated with a book i a thousand years of their family.

And the English titles? Under the Windsor House Rules, Queen Elizabeth II’s twelfth great-grandson, tenth in the line of succession to the throne, it will not automatically have the title of Royal Highness, which instead belongs by right to the grandchildren of Elizabeth II. The queen, if she wanted, could offer him the title as a gift. Eugenie of York e Jack Brooksbank, for their little one August born in 2020, they did not want titles. Because they wish that “Have a life that is as normal as possible and work to earn a living”. Beatrice will most likely make the same choice. In order for her first child to have yes less privileges, but also more freedom. And may he live the life he wants.
