Mum of Princess Beatrice’s stepson ‘can sleep at night’ knowing he’s in Britain
The American mother of Princess Beatrice’s stepson has said she is relieved he is being sent to school in the UK.
Dara Huang shares six-year-old Christopher Woolf with her ex-fiancé Edoardo Mapelli Mozzie, 39, who is now married to the King’s niece.
Christopher, or ‘Wolfie’ as he is known, is being educated in the UK rather than his mum’s native America – much to Miss Huang’s relief.
‘I’m glad my son doesn’t go to school in the USA,’ she declared online.
‘I can sleep at night knowing he won’t die at his desk tomorrow morning.’
The architect’s understandable fears come amid rocketing levels of gun violence in the US, with at least 1,500 children killed by the weapons this year alone.
She said: ‘Not to get all political here, but I went to a sports store in the US to buy tennis shoes today and I couldn’t help but notice this huge gun section – post Christmas sale.
‘So I walked up to the man and said, “No, you can buy one right now and either take it in two days or take a $50 two-hour ‘conceal and carry course’ and bring it home right now.”
She added: ‘Literally anybody can buy the most dangerous weapon known to man.’
Wolfie was pictured alongside the Royal Family this Christmas, joining the King and Queen Camilla on their walk to church at Sandringham.
Dara was granted British citizenship earlier this year, but returned to the US for Christmas while Wolfie stayed at the King’s Norfolk retreat with his dad and step-mum.
Edoardo was engaged to Dara for three-and-a-half years before they split in 2018.
He proposed to Princess Beatrice a year later.
They share custody of their son and have remained on good terms, with Beatrice reportedly growing very close to him.
Her mum Sarah Ferguson says she considers him to be her grandson.
