The couple’s first child, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, was born in September 2021, and Edoardo also has an eight-year-old son from a previous relationship, Christopher Wolf “Wolfie” Mapelli Mozzi.

Along with the official royal family page, members of Beatrice’s immediate family also shared their excitement amid the news.

“Overflowing with love and joy to be able to welcome Athena Elizabeth Rose into the world,” Beatrice’s mother, Sarah Ferguson shared on Instagram. “She is already so adored and I’m incredibly blessed to be a Granny once again. So proud of Edo, Beatrice and the rest of my little 5-a-side team! ❤️”

Baby Athena has officially become 11th in line to the throne behind her older sister, Sienna.

However, she doesn’t have an official royal title as Edoardo did not receive one himself from the late Queen Elizabeth II prior to he and Beatrice’s marriage.

The couple have been together since 2018, and became engaged in Italy in September 2019.

Beatrice and Edoardo went on to tie the knot in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning they had a private and intimate ceremony at Windsor Castle in front of just 20 guests, including Beatrice’s grandparents, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
