Must read

The mother of Princess Beatrice‘s stepson has given a tour of her lavish Chelsea townhouse – including Wolfie’s Minecraft-themed bedroom.

Dara Huang, 41, shares Christopher ‘Wolfie’ Mapelli Mozzi, seven, with her ex-fiancee Edo Mapelli Mozzi.

Earlier this month, the mother-of-one shared a glimpse inside her home on Instagram to promote her furniture and interiors business Dara Maison.

The video opens with Dara – who was dressed in a beige maxi-skirt and halterneck crop top – pointing a beckoning figure at the camera to invite viewers into her home.

The architect – who has previously designed for Four Seasons hotels – begins in her stylish front room, which has a large table with space for 10 guests to sit around it.

Along with built-in bookshelves, the walls of the room have been painted black while the ceiling of the Victorian home features a geometric print.

It also boasts a pristine white fireplace decorated with vases and a statement chandelier over the sleek dining table. One alcove has also been turned into a home bar.

On top of this, the mother showcased her kitchen, which has a mirrored splashback and an impressive amount of glassware on display on the shelves.

After giving viewers a brief glimpse of her garden, which is largely tiled, Dara heads upstairs to her son Wolfie’s room. 

The eight-year-old’s bedroom is Minecraft-themed and the walls have been painted to resemble scenes from the hugely popular game.

What’s more, the royal’s stepson also has soft toys from the game on display on small double bed. 

Following this, the mother-of-one progressed to her living room – which features a balcony overlooking a private Chelsea community garden.

It has been beautifully decorated with a khaki green velvet sofa, pristine white armchairs and a reading nook in the far corner. 

Dara then went up another level to her bedroom, which boosts the same stunning view as the living space as well as a large en-suite bathroom, functioning fireplace and built-in mirrored wardrobes.

One replied: ‘Everything is perfection! Looking forward to the outdoor collection.’

‘Looks amazing,’ another gushed. ‘What a talent you are Dara. House inspo dreams!’ 

Meanwhile, a third wrote: ‘Wow, so beautiful!’

Speaking to Architecture Magazine in February, Dara opened up about her upbringing inspired her line of work.

She explained: ‘I loved drawing in my childhood and this led to a career in architecture. 

‘Growing up, I was exposed to diverse cultures and their unique architectural marvels. I remember being fascinated by the way different spaces made me feel and how design could profoundly influence our experiences.’ 

Christopher ‘Wolfie’ Mapelli Mozzi was born on 28 March 2016. Dara and Edo chose to go their separate ways two years later, in 2018.

Wolfie made his first appearance at a royal engagement last December at the Together At Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey alongside Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Last year, the mother of Princess Beatrice‘s stepson has revealed 2023 was a ‘really challenging year’ for her in a cryptic Instagram post.

Dara shared a candid post to her 62,000 Instagram followers revealing it was the year with the ‘most changes’.

Alongside the snaps were various things she’d done throughout the year, including trips to Miami, London, Paris, Venice, Ibiza, Frankfurt, New York and Greece.

The architect didn’t reveal what her challenges were, but said that she felt 2024 would be better.

‘2023 was actually a really challenging year for me,’ she said. ‘Won’t go into the details but definitely the year with the most changes.

‘I’m not sure why but I just have this feeling that 2024 is going to be our year and a lot of positivity is going to come out of it and I’m so excited and ready!’ she added.  

‘Some ‘workidays’ which is when I have to travel for work, and I turn it into a ‘holiday’ as well: Miami, London, Paris, Venice, Ibiza, Frankfurt, NYC, Greece‘.

In another post, she looked back on what she did in 2023, including filming her first TV show, moving house, and designing hotels in Paris and Bali.

She also proudly shared how she completed big projects in Miami, the Hamptons and NYC, as well as riding a horse in the ocean. 

Dara’s son Wolfie, made his first appearance at a royal engagement in December, at Kate Middleton’s carol concert.

Wolfie then swapped real-life princesses for fairytale ones on a Disney cruise ship with his mother, architect Dara Huang, 40, Richard Eden reports. The two then joined Dara’s family in Florida, where she grew up.

Dara Huang was engaged to interior designer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 39, before he married the King’s niece Princess Beatrice, 34.

Miss Huang was born and grew up in America, to where her maternal grandfather had emigrated from Taiwan. She was granted British citizenship last year.

The Harvard-educated architect who grew up in Florida, has an undergraduate degree from the University of Florida and transferred to the Ivy League school for her Masters in Architecture.
