Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have welcomed a baby girl—and her name pays tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II. The Royal Family shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), revealing details about the newborn’s arrival and her special connection to the royal lineage.

Princess Beatrice's baby, Athea, now joins an informal club of family members with the middle name 'Elizabeth', in honour of the late Queen.

Princess Beatrice's daughter's name is a sweet nod to Queen Elizabeth II - and upholds a long-standing family tradition. Baby Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi was born on Wednesday, just minutes before 1pm at London's Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
