Introduction:
Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, have welcomed their second child, a baby girl named Athena. Buckingham Palace revealed the surprising news that Athena was born prematurely on January 22 at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London. Despite arriving a few weeks earlier than expected, both Princess Beatrice and baby Athena are home and recovering well.
Details of Athena’s Birth:
The newborn weighed 4lb 5oz at birth, and both she and her mother are doing well after the early arrival. The Palace shared that “Their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of the royal family have all been informed and are delighted with the news.” This joy was shared with the public, and the royal family’s delight in the new addition to the family was clear.
Princess Beatrice, who had been expecting in early spring, had previously announced her pregnancy in October. However, her doctors advised against long-distance travel, which led to her altering plans for Christmas. Instead of traveling overseas, she celebrated Christmas with the royal family at Sandringham Church.
Family Celebration:
Princess Beatrice and Edoardo, who already share a three-year-old daughter, Sienna, as well as eight-year-old Wolfie from Edoardo’s previous relationship, expressed their joy over Athena’s arrival. The proud father posted a photo of the tiny baby wrapped in a pink blanket, calling her “tiny and absolutely perfect.” He shared his overwhelming joy, saying, “We are all (including Wolfie and Sienna) already completely besotted with her. Our hearts are overflowing with love for you, baby Athena.”
Support from Family:
Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice’s sister, celebrated the arrival of Athena by sharing Edoardo’s post on social media, writing, “Welcome Baby Girl.” The love and excitement within the royal family are palpable, as they welcomed their newest member with open arms.
