Now, she has allegedly been hospitalised in London, with at least one royal expert claiming the princess will give birth soon.

“Princess Beatrice, is reportedly in a London hospital,” royal commentator Robert Jobson tweeted on Sunday.

Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have not shared any details about the due date or upcoming birth of their child publicly.

The couple announced they were expecting in June, just one month shy of their first wedding anniversary.

The child will be the princess’ first, while Edoardo already shares a son, Christopher ‘Wolfie’, five, with his ex-fiancée Dara Huang.

“But I’ve felt very lucky to have had the chance to work with my bonus son (Christopher) over the course of the school closures,” she said, referencing the UK coronavirus lockdowns that closed schools.

The royal welcomed Christopher into her life before she and Edoardo wed in a secret ceremony in July of 2020.

There is mounting speculation around whether the princess will have a boy or a girl, and what name she will choose for her first child.

Many believe she will incorporate the name Philip if she has a son, in honour of her late grandfather Prince Philip, who died on April 9 this year.

Beatrice’s sister, Princess Eugenie, welcomed her first child with husband Jack Brooksbank in February.

The couple named their son August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, his middle name paying tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh, who died just months after the child was born.
