Although Princess Beatrice is yet to have publically confirmed an engagement with her multimillionaire boyfriend Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, many believe an announcement is close. 

If the couple does marry, there will be a number of etiquettes they will have to adhere to in line with Royal wedding traditions. 

Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi only went public with their relationship earlier this year in March, when they attended a gala at the National Portrait Gallery in London, as per Insider.

According to Express, rumors of their engagement have been flying high, with British betting company Ladbrokes suspending bets on the Princess having a 2020 wedding. Here are 10 royal rules they will have to follow if they are to wed:

According to the Royal Family’s official website, this particular tradition first started when Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother married King George VI. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, Princess Anne, and Diana, Princess of Wales all had their wedding bands made from the same nugget of Welsh gold which came from the Clogau St David's mine at Bontddu. 

The nugget, however, only has 1 gram of this original gold left. Because of this, the Royal British Legion offered the Queen a 36-gramme piece of 21 carat Welsh gold in 1981 which is used until this day for Royal wedding rings.

When Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother married King George VI in 1923 in honor of her brother Fergus, who dies in the Battle of Loos in 1915. The Queen Mother reportedly visited the tomb before her wedding and laid her bouquet there. She is the only Royal Bride to walk down the aisle without a bouquet. 

Since then, Royal Brides have adopted the tradition, often opting to visit after the wedding to leave their bouquet instead.

According to the official website for the Royal Family, the tradition started with Queen Victoria, who was gifted a sprig of myrtle by her in-laws. She then planted the sprig in the garden of her Isle of Wight and its descendents still grow in the same spot. 

We might live in the age of selfies and Social Media, but according to Express, Princess Beatrice will likely have to leave her camera phone behind for this one. 

Royal Wedding reportedly have designated photographers at the event with exclusive rights to photograph the evening.

Wedding dresses are traditionally approved by the Queen before the Royal Wedding. According to Express, the wedding must always be white as the color represents purity.

Of course, no Royal wedding would be complete without a tiara! 

Just like Meghan Markle, Princess Eugenie, and Kate Middleton, Princess Beatrice will get to wear a sparkling tiara. A little known fact, however, is that tiaras were only traditionally worn by married women in the Royal family. Before tiaras became the accessory of choice, Royal Brides would reportedly accessorize using orange blossoms.

Just as in most weddings, guests will be presented with a wedding cake at the reception. According to Royal tradition, the cake tends to be a fruit cake, although Princess Eugenie broke this tradition last year by offering red velvet instead.

After the wedding, each guest receives a piece of cake from the Royal newlyweds as a thank you for their attensance.
