Princess Beatrice's husband has made his feelings clear after Prince William posted a photo of himself riding in a tank.

Prince William, 43, shared a picture during a military exercise in a Challenger 2 after arriving at a Nato base in Estonia, located just 90 miles from the Russian border.


Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who married Beatrice in 2020, appeared to enjoy seeing the Prince of Wales taking part in the military exercise.

In a sign of support, the British property developer liked the post.

Prince William, who serves as Colonel-in-Chief of the Mercian Regiment, was dressed in military gear, including a protective helmet and glasses with only his head visible out the top of the vehicle.

The Prince and Princess of Wales's social media account captioned the post: "Training alongside the Mercian Regiment in Estonia, honing vital skills for operations in extreme conditions. From field training to weapon systems operation, this deployment is key!

"So brilliant to see the dedication and expertise of our troops in action."

A royal aide said earlier that the prince was delighted to be "getting his hands dirty".

They added that the visit was "about the Prince of Wales showing his support to Estonia as it manages its proximity to Russia while hosting Nato troops and welcoming Ukrainian refugees."

Diplomatic sources said William's visit comes at a "crucial time" for reassuring Estonians of the UK's commitment to their security and to Ukraine.

Unlike his wife, Edoardo has an active social media presence, often updating his 163,000 followers on both personal and public activities.

The royal notably used the platform to announce the birth of his and Beatrice's second daughter.

Beatrice is currently on maternity leave from her job at tech company Afiniti.

Edoardo, who owns Banda Property, also has an elder son, Christopher Woolf, from his previous relationship with American architect Dara Huang.
