The royal family’s Instagram account shared the news on Wednesday, featuring the first photo of the child taken by Mozzi, 41. The caption of the post read, “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, born on Wednesday, 22nd January, at 12:57 pm, at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London. The baby was born weighing 4 pounds and 5 ounces.” The caption also stated that the King, Queen, and other members of the family had been informed and they were all delighted by the news.

Edo, too, shared a heartwarming post on his social media account to welcome his third child. He posted a picture of Athena wrapped in a blanket and wrote, “We welcomed baby Athena into our lives last week. She is tiny and perfect. We are all (including Wolfie and Sienna) already completely besotted with her. Our hearts are overflowing with love for you, baby Athena”.

A tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II

Athena Elizabeth is said to have been named after the late Queen Elizabeth II. She is now 11th in the line of succession to the British throne. Princess Beatrice is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. And even though she is a private citizen she has retained her HRH title.
As per the rules of the British monarchy, Athena will not receive a royal title from the British monarchy as she is not the grandchild of King Charles III. However, Mozzi, the eldest son of Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi, comes from Italian aristocracy. In a 2020 interview with the Daily Mail, Count Alessandro explained, “Edoardo is the only male descendant carrying the family name into the next generation. As a count, his wife will automatically become a countess, and their children will hold the titles of count or nobile donna.”

Athena is the third kid in the Mozzi family and joins Wolfie, 8, from Edo’s previous marriage to Dara Huang, and Beatrice’s three-year-old daughter Sienna. According to the various news reports, both Beatrice and Athena are healthy.
