Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, have joyfully welcomed their second child, a daughter named Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi. Born on January 22nd at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London, Athena weighed 4 pounds and 5 ounces. The family shared their excitement with an endearing picture of Athena wrapped in a candy pink blanket, marking another cherished addition to the royal lineage.
The announcement of Athena's birth was shared via social media, where Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi expressed his happiness with a heartfelt message. He wrote, "Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi. We welcomed Baby Athena into our lives last week. She is tiny and absolutely perfect. We are all (including Wolfie and Sienna) already completely besotted with her." The couple's three eldest children, Prince Alexander, Prince Gabriel, and Prince Julian, have also expressed their delight over their new baby sister.
The news of Athena's birth came after Princess Beatrice had been advised by medical professionals in December not to travel long distances. Originally due in early spring, Beatrice delivered her daughter safely in January, receiving exceptional care from the hospital staff. The Royal Family has been informed and shares in the delight of this new addition.
