Princess Beatrice and Edoardo "Edo" Mapelli Mozzi are celebrating a big milestone on January 22, with their daughter Athena marking her first birthday. Athena Elizabeth Rose Mappelli Mozzi joined big sister Sienna, 4, when she was born last year, and the youngest Mapelli Mozzi also has a 9-year-old big brother, Christopher Woolf "Wolfie" Mapelli Mozzi. Speaking to Hello!, royal author Robert Jobson says that Beatrice has embraced her role as a mom and stepmom.

"The princess has shown how a so-called blended family works," Jobson told the outlet. "She wed Edoardo in July 2020, when his son Wolfie was around four, and she was genuine too when she described being his stepmum as 'a great honor'."
