Tragically, Paolo Liuzzo, previously romantically linked to Princess Beatrice, was discovered deceased in a Miami hotel room, evoking sorrow among acquaintances.

Aged 42, Paolo was found at the citizenM Worldcenter hotel in downtown Miami around 3 pm on February 7th, confirmed by Miami Police Department to The Sun.

Investigations into his sudden passing are underway, suspected to be an overdose. Police responded to the scene at 3:22 pm, and Paolo was pronounced dead just twelve minutes later.

Paolo had faced personal struggles, including a 2009 cocaine possession arrest in Australia. His death certificate, indicating his residence near the citizenM hotel, states he was single and worked as an art industry consultant.

Princess Beatrice, who dated Paolo at 17, gained public attention during a family ski trip to Verbier, Switzerland, in 2006. She ended their relationship and later dated Uber executive Dave Clark before marrying Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, a property developer, in 2020. They have a daughter, Sienna, and Beatrice is a stepmother to Edoardo’s son, Wolfie.

Beatrice and Edoardo, acquainted since childhood through their parents, started dating in 2018. Edoardo proposed in Italy in 2019, and they initially planned to marry at the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace in May 2020.

Due to the pandemic, they postponed and wed in a private ceremony at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor on July 17, 2020, with Beatrice donning a modified gown from the late Queen’s collection.
