Beatrice shacked up with the businessman and introduced him to royal relatives - leaving Dara sleeping on a pal's sofa.

It has been suggested they started seeing each other at the wedding of sister Eugenie in October.

Now the family of Chinese-American beauty, Dara, has waded in.

Her father, Po-Tien, a retired NASA scientist, told the Daily Mail: "Why would they want to go and break this up?

"I can’t understand it. It’s not fair but the Royal Family are so powerful. What can I do? I can’t do anything."

He added: "It’s a sad time and sad situation. We don’t know how Dara is going to take care of it. I’m upset but there’s nothing I can do about it.

"Being angry is no solution. These things happen in all the world – today it happened in my home."

Po-Tien, 80, says his heartbroken architect daughter only found out about the royal relationship when she read it in the paper.

A Royal source insisted that Beatrice wouldn't have started a relationship with Edo unless she was certain things had ended with Dara.

They told the Mail: "She would never allow herself to break into another couple's happiness, especially if there was a small child."

Dara's mum Lily was also shocked by the separation - and says her daughter was also taken aback by the speed of her relationship's collapse.

She told the Daily Mail: "I think Dara was hiding it from me. She didn't want me to be sad. I am shocked.

"I love Edo. I love his family. Why has this happened? This has broken me to bits."

She claimed her daughter was forced to leave Edo's swanky London flat and kip on a friend's sofa while looking for a new place to live.

The Duke and Duchess of York’s daughter, 30, has been dating the divorcee for two months.

Last month she introduced Edoardo, 34, to pals as her boyfriend at a lavish party thrown by Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal Diwali in London.

A friend said: “Beatrice and Edo have the same circle of friends and were introduced through a mutual chum.

“They hit it off instantly and have a real laugh together.

“They could even be tying the knot in 2019 — it’s already been discussed by her friends."

Cricket-loving Edoardo is the stepson of ex-PM David Cameron’s late pal, Christopher Shale, who died of natural causes at Glastonbury festival in 2011.
