Paolo Liuzzo was well-off, well-educated, smoothly handsome and extremely well connected - in other words, a man who had been dealt a hand of cards that can make life both worthwhile and rewarding. Appearances, however, can be deceptive. The good fortune that the fates had bestowed, which included a few months of global celebrity as Princess Beatrice 's first serious boyfriend, could not keep pace with a fast and unravelling life. He had a criminal record that included being charged with manslaughter and possession of cocaine and would go on to embarrass the Royal Family with lurid claims of drug-taking and hard partying.

The royal rarely comments on other family members and maintains a relatively low profile, abstaining from having an Instagram profile like many of her peers. However, the mother-of-one enjoys a circle of influential friends and has been seen attending exclusive parties with them over the years.
