A royal congratulations are in order for Princess Beatrice and husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who have revealed they are expecting their second child together.
The news came via the Royal Family’s Instagram account, sharing some sweet family snaps of the couple.
“Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child together in early spring; a sibling for Wolfie and Sienna,” the post reads.
It then continued: “His Majesty The King has been informed and both families are delighted with the news.”
The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl, Sienna, in September of 2021, just over a year after they tied the knot.
They announced the news of their first arrival again through the Royal Family’s official Instagram account.
The statement read: “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter on Saturday 18th September 2021, at 23.42, at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London.”
Prior to the birth of daughter Sienna, Princess Beatrice was already a step-mother to Edoardo’s son, Christopher ‘Wolfie’ Wolf. In a written essay for The Evening Standard, she opened up about how she’s taking to the role prior to her pregnancy.
“This year, I had the great honour to become a stepmother, and have had the most remarkable time going back over some of my most favourite stories at bedtime,” she wrote.
“I have dyslexia and as such reading has never been my strongest talent, however, having a little more time to take a moment to really get into stories has been a gift I am happy to have shared with lockdown life.”
Princess Beatrice is the eldest daughter of Princes Andrew and Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson, placing her ninth in line to the throne.
Her children also fall into line behind her, making daughter Sienna 10th in line and her second child 11th.
