Beatrice Borromeo and Pierre Casiraghi's never-before-seen royal wedding photos emerge nine years later

Beatrice Borromeo has shared previously unseen photos from her lavish wedding to Grace Kelly's grandson Pierre Casiraghi in honour of their ninth wedding anniversary.

The Italian-born model and journalist revealed three never-before-seen snaps from the day she and Casiraghi said "I do" in 2015 on her Instagram Stories.

First was a candid photo of the bride and groom leaning in for a kiss in what appears to be the Prince's Palace of Monaco.

"Nine years ago," Borromeo captioned the romantic shot, along with a heart emoji.

In the photo, she's wearing a stunning pink Valentino gown that was one of several dresses she donned for her wedding celebrations.

A second photo showed the couple sharing a tender kiss on the dance floor, Borromeo's engagement ring and wedding band both visible as she wrapped her arms around her husband's shoulders.

Her engagement ring featured a band of diamonds with a large pear-cut stone in the centre, surrounded by a halo of even more diamonds.

In keeping with royal tradition, she opted for a simple gold wedding band.

Borromeo's third and final snap showed her and Casiraghi in costumes, sitting on a bale of hay in what looks like a crowded town square.

Borromeo and Casiraghi wed first in a civil ceremony in Monaco on July 2015, 2015, which was hosted by the groom's mother, Princess Caroline of Monaco, and uncle, Prince Albert II.

The newlyweds then headed to Italy for a second, religious ceremony on August 1, which was attended by friends and royals alike.

Borromeo never planned to marry into royalty, having been born into wealth and status herself.

The daughter of Don Carlo Ferdinando Borromeo, Count of Arona, and his long-time partner, Countess Donna Paola Marzotto, Borromeo had the best education and upbringing money could buy.

As a teen, she took up modelling and was able to use her family's connections to kickstart a career that saw her model for Chanel, Valentino, and Trussardi.

After finishing high school, Borromeo studied law at Bocconi University, Milan, then headed to the Columbia University Journalism School where she received a Masters in Journalism.
