Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, are co-parents to his young son with Dara Huang. Dara generally stays out of the news, though she recently opened up to the Daily Mail about raising her son in the UK.
Among other things, Dara revealed that she is happy her son is living in England and not the United States for a major reason: The gun culture in the States is overwhelming.
She explains, "I’m glad my son doesn’t go to school in the USA. I can sleep at night knowing he won’t die at his desk tomorrow morning."
She continues by sharing that she was recently back in the US and had a disturbing interaction. She says, "Not to get all political here, but I went to a sports store in the US to buy tennis shoes today and couldn’t help but notice this huge gun section – post Xmas sale."
She continues, "So I walked up to the man and said, ‘What do I need to buy a gun home? Do I need a licence?’ And he said, ‘No, you can buy one right now and either take it in two days or take a $50 two-hour ‘conceal and carry course’ and bring it home right now.’"
Dara adds, "And I said, ‘OK, so no licence needed, medical records, history of felony?’ And he said, ‘Nope. You can keep it in your car or home, as you see fit.’ Literally anybody can buy the most dangerous weapon known to man."
Dara received her own British citizenship in 2022. She celebrate the feat on Instagram, where she wrote that she is "proud to be British, American, and Taiwanese." Both her ex-boyfriend and her son are British citizens.
