Princess Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, shared a glimpse into his summer plans just days after attending the Lionesses’ victory parade in London.
The property developer, 41, splits his time between his and Beatrice’s St James’s Palace apartment in London and their Cotswolds abode.
The father-of-three let off some steam on the tennis court on Friday, uploading a snap of a red tennis racket on the green turf to his Instagram Stories.

The pair join a long list of tennis fans, including the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Kent and the Duchess of Gloucester.
Rare family outing
Edoardo and Beatrice joined the crowds along The Mall in London to catch a glimpse of European Champions, the Lionesses, during their victory parade last Monday.
As well as Edoardo’s son, Wolfie, the couple were joined by their daughters, Sienna, three, and six-month-old Athena in her first public appearance since her birth in January.

‘Brilliant father’
Edoardo and Beatrice are notoriously private about their family life and have not publicly shared any photographs of their young daughters’ faces, with images always taken from behind or with their faces obscured.
Wolfie has attended the Christmas Day walkabout with his father and stepmother in Sandringham, as well as the Princess of Wales’s Christmas concert at Westminster Abbey.

“He’s brilliant with his children and he adores them naturally like any father. He gives them a lot of time and a lot of patience, and I think with his busy life, it’s probably quite difficult sometimes to do that.
