Summer Lovin’ in France
Princess Beatrice and Etta Ward-Oma Balimozzi embarked on a romantic getaway to Saint-Tropez this week.
The 34-year-old niece of King Charles III, along with her husband, were seen basking in the French sun at a port near the renowned restaurant Club 55.
Captured in a heartwarming embrace, Etta wrapped his arms around his beloved wife as they enjoyed their holiday.
Princess Beatrice exuded summer elegance in a charming floral dress, while her husband opted for a casual yet stylish look with brown trousers paired with a crisp white shirt.
The couple shares a profound connection with France, having chosen the country as the destination for their intimate wedding back in 2020.
Following their nuptials, Princess Beatrice and Etta reportedly spent their honeymoon exploring the picturesque landscapes of France.
Recently celebrating their third wedding anniversary, the couple marked the occasion with a touching tribute on social media.
Etta expressed his love and gratitude towards his wife, referring to her as the most beautiful in the world, acknowledging the challenges they've conquered and dreams they've pursued together.
In a delightful revelation, Etta inadvertently showcased Princess Beatrice's exquisite wedding ring, crafted with intricate details.
Adorned on her left hand was a delicate platinum band embellished with dazzling diamonds, designed to complement her engagement ring, a bespoke creation by Ada Wardo.
Renowned British jeweler Sean Leanne was the creative force behind Beatrice's meticulously crafted rings, blending Victorian and Art Deco influences in the design.
This departure from royal tradition, which typically involves Welsh gold wedding bands, set Princess Beatrice's ring apart, surprising royal enthusiasts.
Speculation arose during the Jubilee 2022 event, where rumors suggested that Meghan Markle expressed interest in Princess Beatrice's ring.
In a light-hearted exchange, Meghan playfully tried on the ring while Eduardo, ever watchful, eventually prompted their departure.
The incident sparked curiosity among onlookers, with Meghan's penchant for borrowing jewelry from the royals fueling playful banter about potential ring “borrowing.”
Given Meghan's history of modifying jewelry to suit her preferences, the incident added a touch of intrigue to the royal gathering.
Princess Beatrice's engagement ring, initially valued at £78,000 for its 3.5-carat gemstone, garnered further appraisal by experts, estimating its worth to potentially reach £140,000.
The centerpiece of the ring features a dazzling six-claw round diamond, approximately three carats in size, exuding a vintage allure with two tapered baguettes flanking it.
The art deco-inspired design is accentuated by small pavé diamonds adorning the band, enhancing its brilliance.
Notably, the diamonds boast VVS grade quality, characterized by minimal inclusions imperceptible to the n-ked eye even under magnification, showcasing their impeccable clarity and radiance.
