Prince Philip could be seen sitting next to monarch as they were driven to their granddaughter’s secret Royal Wedding in Windsor today.

HOAR has exclusively revealed the Queen, 94, and Duke of Edinburgh, 99,  joined Prince Andrew, 60, at the scaled-down Covid-secure wedding with around 20 guests this morning.

Prince Philip was later pictured in a navy blue tie as they left the wedding.

Beatrice, 31, and Edo, 37, said ‘I do’ surrounded by close family and friends in All Saints Chapel, Windsor Great Park after Covid-19 scuppered their original plans.

The Queen’s granddaughter and millionaire property developer Edo were due to get hitched at the Chapel Royal, at St James’s Palace, in London, with 150 guests, in May.

Instead, a select group gathered for a more intimate ceremony today, with strict social distancing measures in place.

The Queen was driven with Prince Philip from Windsor Castle, where they had been isolating since March, three miles up the Long Walk and through Windsor Great Park to the private church.

She left the ceremony at 11.45am and was driven back to Windsor Castle.

It is the first time Andrew has been with the Queen since before lockdown and arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell.

SECRET CEREMONY

A friend of the couple said the nuptials were arranged today to make sure the Queen could attend before she leaves Windsor for Balmoral at the end of the month.

A friend of Beatrice’s said: “A massive wedding was out of the question because of coronavirus.

“They were obviously very keen for the Queen to come so the wedding had to happen before she goes up to Balmoral so this was a great opportunity.

“So many guests were disappointed not to make the big day but understood the reason for it.

“They needed to make the wedding Covid-secure and safe for the Queen so what better way than the All Saints Chapel with reception on site at the Royal Lodge.

“They are just like a normal family and had to make sacrifices like many others have up and down the country and looking forward to having a wonderful celebration when the time is right.”

WEDDING DRAMA

Princess Beatrice’s wedding plans were thrown into dissaray before the coronavirus pandemic.

Her father Prince Andrew was forced to step back from royal duties over his links to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

There were no plans to have a televised wedding like her sister Eugenie and cousins Prince Harry and Prince William.

It was understood the wedding was always going to be held in private after the Duke of York’s bombshell BBC interivew on the Epstein scandal.

Prince Andrew has always strongly denied the accusations of his involvement.

It was unclear whether he would walk his eldest daughter down the aisle, as he did for Eugenie.

It is understood Beatrice spent the night before the wedding at the 30-room Royal Lodge with mum Sarah Ferguson, and dad Andrew, before making the walk to the church in the grounds.

She has been engaged to Edo, the son of Count Alessandro Mapelli-Mozzi a former British Olympian and Italian nobleman, since September 2019.

The dad-of-one, founder and chief executive of Banda property development and interior design company, proposed with a platinum and diamond engagement ring handcrafted by British jewellery designer Shaun Leane.

He shares a son named Wolfie, born in 2016, with ex fiancee Dara Huang – meaning Beatrice will now become a stepmother.

The couple were forced to scrap plans for hundreds of guests at a reception in the grounds of Buckingham Palace on May 29.

Edo’s father Alex Mapelli Mozzi, 69, Nikki Williams-Ellis, 64, and sister Natalia Yeomans, 38, were also expected to be on the exclusive guest list.

Beatrice and Edo reportedly met in September, 2018, about a month before Princess Eugenie got married.

And the Queen has long shown her support for the couple, allowing Edo to stay at Sandringham last Christmas with the royal family, even though he and Beatrice were not married.
