Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi, the millionaire property tycoon and husband of Princess Beatrice, recently took to Instagram to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Christopher Shale’s passing.

In a heartfelt post, Mozzi expressed his regret that his step-father never had the opportunity to meet his grandchildren, including the couple’s upcoming arrival.

Accompanying the touching tribute were several photos of Mozzi’s step-father.

In the caption, he wrote, “Chris, dog, pups, I can’t believe it has been 10 years.

Not a day goes by without me thinking of you and leaning on all the lessons you taught me.”

Mozzi also shared a poignant memory from his 18th birthday, when Shale told him that being his stepfather was the greatest honor and privilege of his life.

Mozzi echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that being Shale’s stepson was the greatest honor of his own life and that he wouldn’t be where he is today without him.

Mozzi continued, expressing his conviction that Shale would have been immensely proud of their growing family.

He lamented the fact that his step-father never had the chance to meet his three current grandchildren, with a fourth on the way.

Mozzi imagined the joy they would have brought to Shale’s life and acknowledged the profound impact Shale had on him when he entered Mozzi’s world at a young age.

Shale’s unconditional love, support, and teachings of honesty, laughter, hard work, and empathy have shaped Mozzi into the person he is today.

It is worth noting that Mozzi already has a son, Wolfie, from a previous relationship with his ex-fiancé, Dara Huang.

Additionally, he and Princess Beatrice are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their own baby in the autumn.
