Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi has been photographed driving through Windsor with his wife Prince Beatrice, 35.

Also in the car is the couple's stepson Wolfie, eight, whose mother is Dara Huang, and his wife's sister, Princess Eugenie, 34.

The sighting comes amid an unusual weekend for the Royal Family.

They are facing a much more pared-down Easter than usual due to King Charles and the Princess of Wales both receiving treatment from cancer.

In addition, while a much smaller group of royals attends church and perhaps enjoys their annual lunch in Windsor, the Wales - the Prince and Princess and their three children - will be having a quiet time alone in Norfolk.

Easter is usually one of the bigger weekends for the Royals, with crowds queueing to catch a glimpse of members of The Firm as they make their way to and from the Sunday service, before retiring to Windsor castle to have family time.

While the family is facing a much different Easter than usual, the Yorks in particular are also facing some additional stress.

Next week (April 5) will see the release of the film Scoop on YouTube. 

Netflix's drama details the story behind the interview with the disgraced Duke of York, portrayed by Rufus Sewell, 56, and also features an almost unrecognisable Billie Piper in blonde wig and high heels. 

The actress stars as Sam McAlister, the Newsnight producer who secured Prince Andrew’s notorious 2019 interview with Emily Maitlis, who is played by Gillian Anderson, 55.

The film is due to explore a behind-the-scenes look at how the interview was secured and how events surrounding it unfolded.

It is based on Scoops by Sam McAlister who is also known as the 'Booker extraordinaire' on Newsnight having successfully negotiated and secured the interview which quizzed the Duke about his friendship with the late-convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein.

Ms Maitlis discussed Virginia Giuffre's claims that she was forced to have sex with Andrew three times when she was 17 under the orders of Epstein.

The prince strongly denied the claims throughout the interview.

The discussion, in which Andrew made a series of claims - including insisting he couldn't have been with Ms Giuffre at the time of the alleged encounter because he was dining at a Pizza Express in Woking and that a medical condition left him unable to sweat - has since gained notoriety and is widely acknowledged to have embarrassed the royals.

The interview was described as a 'car crash' and on November 20, 2019, a statement from Buckingham Palace said Prince Andrew was suspended from public duties 'for the foreseeable future'.

In May 2020, it was announced that the prince was permanently stepping down from his public roles. In January 2022, Ms Giuffre was given the go-ahead to sue Andrew for unspecified damages in a New York civil court.

Despite vowing to fight the claims and repeatedly protesting his innocence, the prince agreed to pay a huge sum to settle the case before it ever reached a jury. interview, then the film on no admission of liability.
