Royal Baby on the Way: Princess Beatrice Expecting Second Child
Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi announce their second pregnancy. The royal couple, already parents to a daughter, anticipate welcoming the new addition in early spring 2025.
Buckingham Palace has announced that Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are expecting their second child together. The new addition to the royal family is anticipated to arrive in early spring 2025.
The couple, who wed in July 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, are already parents to their daughter Sienna Elizabeth, born on September 18, 2021. Mapelli Mozzi also has a son, Christopher Woolf, known as Wolfie, from a previous relationship. The new baby will join this blended family, becoming a sibling to both Sienna and Wolfie.
King Charles III has been informed of the pregnancy, and both families have expressed their delight at the news. Princess Beatrice, born on August 8, 1988, currently holds the ninth position in the line of succession to the British throne.
The 36-year-old princess, known for her unique fashion choices and philanthropic work, has been open about her experiences with dyslexia. She serves as a patron of the Teenage Cancer Trust and is a global ambassador for Street Child, demonstrating her commitment to charitable causes.
Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, a property developer with Italian nobility roots, founded the interior design company Banda. The couple's relationship has been marked by significant milestones, including their intimate wedding ceremony at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor, where Princess Beatrice wore Queen Elizabeth II's Queen Mary Fringe Tiara.
As the elder daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah, Duchess of York, Princess Beatrice has maintained a relatively low profile compared to other members of the royal family. She is not a working royal but attends various royal events and has pursued a career in business and technology sectors after graduating from Goldsmiths, University of London, with a degree in History and History of Ideas.
The announcement of this pregnancy adds another joyous occasion to the royal calendar, as the family continues to grow and evolve. With her strong interest in education and technology, Princess Beatrice is likely to bring a modern approach to parenting, balancing her royal duties with her growing family responsibilities.
As the world awaits the arrival of this new royal baby, the couple's commitment to philanthropy and their diverse interests suggest that their children will be raised with a broad perspective on the world and a sense of duty to others.
