It was previously reported that Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi would spend Christmas abroad

Dara Huang has confirmed that her son, Wolfie, is now in Switzerland after spending Christmas Day with her in Florida.

In a post shared to her Instagram story, Ms Huang uploaded an image of a mahjong set laid out beside a decorated Christmas tree, captioned: “Mahjong in Florida”.


In a separate post, she then shared a photograph of Wolfie standing on skis against a mountainous backdrop, with the caption: “My baby in Switzy”.

The two posts indicate that Wolfie has since moved on from Florida, while Ms Huang appears to have remained in the United States.

Wolfie, whose full name is Christopher Woolf Mapelli Mozzi, is the son of Ms Huang and her former partner Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who is now married to Princess Beatrice.

Beatrice, 37, became Wolfie’s stepmother following their wedding in 2020.

The update follows reports in the Sun which claimed Princess Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi were set to spend Christmas Day on a skiing holiday.

This suggested the couple would miss both King Charles’s annual gathering at Sandringham and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s final Christmas at Royal Lodge.

A source originally told the publication: “Beatrice doesn’t want to cause any embarrassment and was torn between loyalty to the King and her parents.

“That is why with Eugenie they went to Buckingham Palace for the pre-Christmas family lunch.

“She appreciates the way that the King and William have looked after her during everything that has been happening with Andy and Sarah.

“She didn’t want it to look like they were snubbing anyone so it was easier to go off with friends.”

However, Princess Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie did, in fact, attend the Christmas Day church service at Sandringham alongside senior members of the Royal Family.

Ms Huang’s latest post, therefore, suggests that Wolfie joined Mr Mapelli Mozzi and the Princess of York abroad after Christmas in Florida with his mother, rather than travelling on Christmas Day itself.

It also implies that Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi were due to travel abroad on a skiing trip, just not on Christmas Day.

Wolfie has previously spent time with both sides of his family during school holidays, with joint custody arrangements put in place following Ms Huang and Mr Mapelli Mozzi’s split in 2018.

The child has also been included in a number of family occasions linked to the Royal Family in recent years, such as the Platinum Jubilee and Princess Kate's annual Christmas carol service.

Ms Huang had previously confirmed that Wolfie would spend Christmas in Florida, meaning he was not expected at Sandringham in 2025.
