The Palace’s statement continued with: “The new baby’s grandparents and great-grandparents have all been informed and are delighted with the news. The family would like to thank all the staff at the hospital for their wonderful care. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well, and the couple are looking forward to introducing their daughter to her big brother Christopher Woolf.” Edoardo shares a son named Christopher Woolf, known as “Wolfie,” with architect and designer Dara Huang, whom he was previously in a relationship with.
