Index – FOMO – Princess Beatrix’s former lover died of a drug overdose

Princess Beatrice’s ex-boyfriend Paolo Liuzzo – who had several run-ins with the law – died of a drug overdose in his Miami hotel room.

According to information from The Sun, Princess Beatrix was only 17 years old when she started dating the then 23-year-old bad boy, her first boyfriend. The man had drug problems and accumulated large gambling debts, as well as trouble with the authorities, cocaine possession, and the death of a student who died in a fight.

Michael Vega of the Miami Police Department told the newspaper that police found Liuzzo in his Miami hotel room at 3:22 p.m. on Feb. 7. Authorities are investigating the case as an overdose death. On February 16, the man’s body was flown back to his birthplace, Long Island, New York, where he was buried.

According to the death certificate, Liuzzo worked as an applied arts consultant and was never married.

Physical abuse, gambling and drug addiction

One of the man’s friends said that Liuzzo was not very well and loved to party and gamble. He took a lot of drugs, which later led to cocaine and harder drugs, and spiraled into debt.

Liuzzo and Beatrice started dating in 2005, but kept their relationship secret until 2006, when the family took him skiing in Switzerland.

Four years earlier, Liuzzo was charged with fatally injuring a student in a fist fight. However, the charge was later downgraded to assault and the former boyfriend only had to complete 100 hours of community service.

The Duchess’s mother, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, nevertheless supported her daughter’s budding romance, saying “We all have our own paths (…) Beatrice is a sensible girl, she will be 18 soon, she has many friends, including Paolo”.

However, the publicity led to Liuzzo being returned to the United States for violating the terms of his probation, which allowed him to travel abroad only for work. His three-year probation was then extended by six months, and Beatrice publicly ended the romance. Paolo later said of the fight that it was “a stupid fist fight” and that if he had gone to court he would have been “found not guilty”.

It wasn’t even true love

After the split, the man claimed that Princess Beatrix and Princess Eugenie, then 15, attended a party in Jamaica where guests smoked cannabis and ate magic mushrooms. Later, he belittled and belittled the romance itself, stating that he was never sure about the relationship, that he was not even in love with the princess, and that he was also having a parallel relationship.

It was fun, nothing more, and I felt really bad for Bea afterwards

Liuzzo stated.

The heartthrob was accompanied by several scandalous cases, in September 2009 the then 27-year-old Liuzzo was arrested on the Gold Coast in Australia after crashing into traffic lights with his Audi rental car. Furthermore, it turned out that he had not paid his hotel and restaurant bills at a casino.

He pleaded guilty to traffic violations, fraud and possession of cocaine, and was fined 2,600 pounds (about one million two hundred thousand forints). According to the newspaper’s information, in recent years he has clashed several times with the Florida police over driving violations.

Princess Beatrix is ​​currently married to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, with whom they have a two-year-old daughter.
