Princess Beatrice Welcomes Second Baby: A New Chapter for the Royal Family

Princess Beatrice has given birth to her second child, a baby girl named Athena Elizabeth, on September 22, 2023. The announcement was made public through a statement shared by Buckingham Palace. This joyful event comes nearly a year after her first child, Sienna Mapelli Mozzi, was born in September 2021. The new baby was born at 11:24 PM at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London and weighed 6 lbs 10 oz. Both mother and daughter are said to be doing well. Princess Beatrice expressed her happiness in a statement, saying, ‘We are so excited to be welcoming our second daughter into our family. Sienna is going to be the best big sister!’ Athena is named after the Greek goddess of wisdom, and her middle name, Elizabeth, pays tribute to her grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II. The royal family has been very supportive, with Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, sharing his joy on social media, stating, ‘Sienna and Athena will grow up to be the best of friends.’ This birth continues a tradition of the royal family, with Princess Beatrice occupying a significant place as a member of the British royal lineage, being the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. The couple, married in July 2020, embraces their roles as parents with enthusiasm and grace, looking forward to sharing their lives with their growing family.
