Dara Huang has hinted at a major U-turn with her son Wolfie’s education.
Wolfie’s father is British-Italian property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who married Princess Beatrice in 2020.
Huang has opened up about her complex relationship with both the United States and Britain, offering candid insights into life between the two cultures.
The American-born designer, who now calls London home, maintains strong ties to her native country with a residence in Florida.

Speaking to Tatler, Huang praised the American spirit whilst acknowledging Britain’s educational strengths.
She admitted to potentially wanting her son, Wolfie, to be educated in the United States in the future.
Huang explained: “England is known for its education because it’s strict and regimented. But I love the American spirit and that’s something they don’t really teach you here.”
However, the architect previously criticised American school safety, expressing relief about her son’s education in Britain.
“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,” Huang said online back in 2022.
Her comments referenced the recurring issue of mass shootings in American schools.
London’s diversity has proven a welcome change for Huang, who claimed she experienced racism during her Florida upbringing.
“In America, I’m Eastern. When I’m in the east, I’m Western,” she told Tatler. “I find London to be a lot more flexible with where you come from.”
The architect, who moved to London in her mid-twenties to pursue her career, describes herself as a global citizen.
Despite her enduring connection to America, Huang now considers the British capital her true home.
However, Huang has expressed concerns about London’s privileged social scene, contrasting it with her own upbringing.
“I feel like it really skews your perception of reality. It kind of robs you of that innocence that I felt growing up, and takes you away from the work ethic,” she told the publication.

She emphasised that this privileged lifestyle is not something she wants to instil in her “little man”.
Her eight-year-old son Christopher Woolf, known as Wolfie, splits his time between London activities and artistic pursuits.
The young Arsenal supporter enjoys rugby and football, having watched matches from the owners’ box.
He also shares his mother’s creative side, often painting alongside her.
In a remarkable achievement, one of Wolfie’s paintings reportedly sold for £40,000, though Huang admitted with amusement: “I’m not sure I even told my client that it was done by a child.”
