Beatrice, 31, and her fiance, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, were scheduled to wed Friday at the Chapel Royal at St. James's Palace in London, where Prince George, the son of Beatrice's cousin Prince William and his wife Kate, was baptized in 2013.

The wedding ceremony was to be followed by a private reception hosted by Beatrice's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, in Buckingham Palace's gardens.

Instead of gathering together for a happy occasion, members of the royal family are following stay-at-home orders at their residences across the U.K. and in Los Angeles, where Beatrice's cousin, Prince Harry, and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, now live.

Buckingham Palace has not yet announced a new date for Beatrice and Mozzi's wedding.

I know what a mother feels so I have tears of joy. I am so proud of this sensational news. Andrew and I are just the luckiest people ever to have two great sons in law. @princesseugenie took the colour photographs as my girls are so close. Beatrice and Edo wanted her to capture this special moment. The black and white photographs were taken by Misan Harriman

The couple got engaged in Italy last September. Their engagement was announced by Buckingham Palace later that month.
