Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter was set to marry Italian financier Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on Friday, with a ceremony at St. James's Palace in London with a reception to follow at the Buckingham Palace gardens on May 29. However, the couple had to postpone their planned nuptials due to the coronavirus pandemic. Mother of the bride Sarah Ferguson marked the occasion on Friday with a touching Instagram post praising her daughter and other couples around the world putting their weddings on hold. "Love you my darling Beatrice. You have given me more joy than I could ever wish for," Fergie, as the Duchess of York is affectionately known, captioned a sweet throwback of Beatrice. "I am so excited to celebrate yours and Edo's love when we all are out of lockdown." "The most important thing is health and love and today I send it to you and all the other people that were getting married during this time .. so proud of you all," she added. Princess Beatrice's Royal Wedding Was Set for Today — All About Her Canceled Nuptials Despite the change in wedding plans, Fergie recently told Royal Central that her 31-year-old daughter is "the happiest I have ever seen her in my life." "She and Edo have a great love for each other and passion for life," Fergie added. "For them to be getting married fills my heart with joy." Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

For Eugenie's 30th birthday in March, the Duchess of York shared a never-before-seen photo she seemingly snapped on the wedding day. "My favourite photograph just for her mum on her wedding day," Fergie captioned the shot on Instagram. At Eugenie's wedding, Princess Beatrice served as maid of honor and gave a reading from The Great Gatsby. Princess Eugenie. Sarah Ferguson/Instagram Sarah Ferguson and Princess Beatrice.

For example, there were no plans for a horse-drawn carriage ride. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Princess Beatrice. Princess Eugenie Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage?

"There will come a time to rearrange, but that's not yet."
