Princess Beatrice has long been at the center of a glittering social network where royals, models, musicians and other connections collide.
Long before she found her lovebird Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Beatrice’s love life had a royal introduction twist.
It was her cousin Prince William who reportedly played matchmaker, introducing her to then-boyfriend Dave Clarke at a lively party in 2006.
The soiree itself had serious Hollywood pedigree, hosted by Sean, son of Bond legend Pierce Brosnan.
Sean, who has largely stayed out of the limelight, once moved in the same elite circles as Beatrice, with the pair attending a number of high-profile gatherings together.
Now 42 years old, he has found a quieter but exciting path, balancing acting roles, including a recent turn in Waiting for Godot, with work as a psychotherapist.
Beatrice and Dave Clarke’s romance ended in 2016. But her address book didn’t lose its sparkle.
Along with her sister, Princess Eugenie, she counts an enviable number of A-list names in her inner circle.
