Princess Beatrice is a mother of two! Buckingham Palace has announced that the granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have welcomed their second baby together. The name the couple chose for their baby has also been revealed.
Princess Beatrice, the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, gave birth to a baby girl prematurely. Princess Beatrice was due in early spring, but the little one arrived on January 22nd at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London. The couple’s daughter weighed 4 lbs, 5 oz at birth but Buckingham Palace shared that “Her Royal Highness and her daughter are healthy and doing well.” The announcement also expressed the couple’s gratitude to their birthing team. “Princess Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi would like to thank all the staff at the hospital for their wonderful care.” In Edoardo’s post on his Instagram account, he also recounted their gratitude, “A massive thank you from my wife and I goes out to all the wonderful staff at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for their exceptional care and support during this incredibly special time.”
The couple chose a name for their daughter that honors Queen Elizabeth: Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi. Princess Beatrice and Edoardo share one other child together, a daughter named Sienna, born in September 2021. Sienna was also given the middle name Elizabeth. The interior designer also has a child from a previous relationship, a son named Christopher Woolf, who goes by Wolfie. In his post, Edoardo mentioned his children and how everyone is adjusting to life with a newborn writing, “We are all (including Wolfie and Sienna) already completely besotted with her. Our hearts are overflowing with love for you, baby Athena.”
Princess Beatrice and her husband were rumored to have started dating in 2018 and they went on to announce their engagement in September 2019. The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in spring 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic dictated their small nuptials.
Congratulations to Princess Beatrice and Edoardo on the birth of baby Athena! We wish them good health as they welcomed their newborn into their home.
