Edoardo, who has a young son from a previous relationship, is the stepson of Christopher Shale, who made headlines when he died at the Glastonbury rock festival in 2011. Shale, who was close to the then-Prime Minister David Cameron, was an old friend of Prince Andrew and Fergie. Beatrice would have known his stepson for many years — and joined her parents at Shale’s funeral eight years ago.
