In February, Princess Beatrice of York wowed Londoners when she attended the 2025 Art of Wishes Gala. She stole the show in her jaw-dropping finery, together with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. The royal, who only a few months ago gave birth to her daughter Athena, was glowing as she dazzled in a beautiful black gown featuring glistening details.
The annual nonprofit gala—whose mission is to support emerging artists and other charitable initiatives—served as a magical setting for the pair’s romantic bond. She wore an ivory gown with a high neck and quarter-length sleeves. It was exquisitely embroidered with lace and decorated with all manner of bold red rose patterns. Her understated glam paired perfectly with her smooth waves that perfectly accented her face while she conversed with attendees.
Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi welcomed their first child together, daughter Athena Elizabeth Rose, on January 22. The baby was born a few weeks early, sending the flustered couple straight into the turmoil of new parenthood. Looking back on the experience, Princess Beatrice said it was a blessing that her child came early.
“Nothing quite prepares you for the moment when you realise your baby is going to arrive early,” – Princess Beatrice
Despite a tough few weeks for the new mother, Princess Beatrice marked her 37th birthday on August 9th. Count Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi celebrated his wife on Instagram. In his post, he wrote some beautiful words about all the ways she supports their family and serves as an anchor.
“Happy Birthday to my BEAUTIFUL wife. You are the greatest. We love you so much. E,W,S,A xxxx,” – Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi
Their family has since grown to include their son, Christopher Woolf, which they affectionately refer to as Wolfie. Their family has since grown to include two daughters, Sienna and Athena. Prince Andrew’s elder daughter Princess Beatrice, new mum Sarah Ferguson shares the moment on Instagram. She recently shared a photo of baby Athena and referred to herself as “Granny” in the caption.
“Overflowing with love and joy to be able to welcome Athena Elizabeth Rose into the world,” – Sarah Ferguson
In addition to her commitments as a mother and wife, Princess Beatrice recently attended the wedding of her longtime friend James Green in New York. At the star-studded event, she continued her sartorial dominance by wearing a showstopping bateau neck gown in navy from British brand The Vampire’s Wife.
Princess Beatrice is well on her way to stepping further into her unique role in the family and the public’s affection and admiration. She continues to be a model of poise and class. She deftly manages her private struggles with her public performance. Resilience is strength, and Megan’s persistence in sharing her story befits her role as a new parent and at times, a royal outcast.
