Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have quietly introduced their baby daughter to the public—almost six months after her birth.
The couple, who are already parents to three-year-old Sienna, welcomed their second child, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, on January 29 at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.
A Surprise Public Appearance
Today (July 29), the family gave royal watchers a sweet and unexpected glimpse of baby Athena as they stepped out to attend the Lionesses’ victory parade in London. Beatrice, Edoardo, baby Athena, their daughter Sienna, and Beatrice’s stepson Christopher Woolf were all spotted enjoying the celebration along The Mall.
The parade followed a thrilling football final on Sunday (July 27), in which England’s women’s team clinched a historic win over Spain after a dramatic penalty shootout. Beatrice clearly wanted her children to share in the national pride and joined the crowd of over 65,000 people to cheer on the team.
Princess Beatrice looked elegant in a cream knit jumper paired with a flowing blue and pink floral maxi skirt. Keeping it simple, she went makeup-free and wore her hair tied back in a bun. The family stayed near the railings, fully immersed in the lively atmosphere.
Edoardo, dressed casually in a light blue shirt and khaki shorts, carried baby Athena securely on his chest. The infant, dressed in a soft pink babygrow, looked snug and content during the outing.
Sienna also charmed onlookers—one photo captured her proudly holding up a drawing of the Union Jack flag.
Fans React to Rare Photos
Royal fans were quick to respond on social media to the heartwarming family appearance. One user posted, “That is so special—love that family,” while another said, “Lovely. Really like Eugene & Beatrice. Admire how they stay so grounded, especially with parents like theirs.”
Another fan commented, “Aww sweet photos! Look at adorable Sienna holding up a drawing of our flag!” A fourth added, “Wow!! I loved this. They could have had premium access but they chose to be just as ordinary as possible. Princess Beatrice is living the thrill of nonroyalty. I also loved how they involved their children in such an experience.”
A Historic Birth
Baby Athena’s arrival in January was notable for more than one reason. Born prematurely on January 22, she weighed just 4 pounds and 5 ounces. Her birth also marked a new milestone in royal history—Athena is the first member of the royal family to be born into Generation Beta.
Generation Beta refers to children born between 2025 and 2039, although Athena’s early arrival means she just barely makes the cut. These children may well be the first generation to live into the 22nd century, following Generation Alpha, whose members were born from 2010 to 2024.
Celebrating Five Years of Marriage
The family’s recent public outing comes shortly after Beatrice and Edoardo celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary with a trip to Scotland. To mark the occasion, Edoardo shared a touching tribute to his wife on social media, posting a romantic photo of the two of them together.
In the caption, he wrote, “Happy 5th Anniversary to my incredible partner, the most beautiful and amazing wife. I cherish every moment we’ve spent together and am deeply grateful for our journey. Here’s to countless more years filled with laughter and tons of love!”
