Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, welcomed their second child, Athena Elizabeth Rose, on January 22, 2024. Born prematurely at just 4 pounds, 5 ounces, both mother and baby are healthy and doing well. The couple shared the joyful news a week later, and royal fans were thrilled.

The name Athena, rich in Greek mythology and royal heritage, honors Princess Beatrice’s Greek lineage through her grandfather, Prince Philip. Baby Athena is now 11th in line to the British throne.

Public reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the name’s elegance and significance. Edoardo expressed their joy on Instagram, calling Athena “tiny and absolutely perfect.”

Athena joins older sister Sienna and half-brother Wolfie, whom Beatrice lovingly helps raise. Friends describe her as a natural, devoted mother.

With hearts “overflowing with love,” Beatrice and Edoardo are embracing this new chapter, and little Athena is already capturing hearts around the world.
