Another baby for Princess Beatrice!
The royal has given birth to her and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozziâs second child together, his third, a baby girl named Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi.
Beatrice and the infant, who arrived several weeks early on Jan. 22 at four pounds and five ounces, âare healthy and doing well,â according to Buckingham Palaceâs Wednesday statement via social media.
In the sweet snap, Athena wore a white onesie and covered her face with one hand while wrapped in a pink blanket.
Her middle name, notably, honors Queen Elizabeth, who died in 2022 at age 96.
News broke in October 2024 that Beatrice, 36, was pregnant with baby No. 2.
âHer Royal Highess Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child together early in the new year,â the statement read.
Beatrice became a stepmom in July 2020 when she married Mozzi.
The property developer, 41, welcomed son Christopher âWolfieâ Woolf in April 2016 with his then-fiancĂ©e, Dara Huang.
The little one acted as his fatherâs best man during the small ceremony, which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mozzi began dating Beatrice in 2018 after splitting from the architect, proposing the following year.
Huang gushed to Harperâs Bazaar UK in March about her co-parenting dynamic with the couple, saying she believes âthe more [parents], the merrierâ for her child.
âWolfie has had two sets of parents trying to help him on both sides,â she told the outlet. âI feel lucky to have such positive people around him, who really embrace him â because it didnât have to be so easy.
âItâs all about your point of view,â Huang continued. âI donât understand people who are divorced and then hold their children as collateral; that doesnât make any sense. Itâs about creating a happy home and lifestyle.â
In May 2021, news broke that Beatrice was pregnant with her and Mozziâs first child together.
The duo welcomed daughter Sienna that September, also giving her Elizabeth as a middle name.
Beatriceâs mom, Sarah Ferguson, revealed at a March 2023 book launch that the infant is a âminiâ version of her mom.
âShe gets little pink tutus,â the Duchess of York, 65, said. âBeatrice likes to dress her up like Barbie.â
