It’s official: Princess Beatrice is a mom. The Princess of York has welcomed her first child with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
On Monday, Buckingham Palace released an official statement, revealing that the 33-year-old royal gave birth to a baby girl over the weekend.
“Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter on Saturday 18th September 2021, at 23.42, at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London,” the message read. “The baby weighs 6 pounds and 2 ounces. The new baby’s grandparents and great-grandparents have all been informed and are delighted with the news. The family would like to thank all the staff at the hospital for their wonderful care. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well, and the couple are looking forward to introducing their daughter to her big brother Christopher Woolf.”
Of course, the new parents shared an announcement of their own on the princess’s official Twitter account, writing, “So delighted to share the news of the safe arrival of our daughter on Saturday 18th September 2021, at 23.42, at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London. Thank you to the Midwife team and everyone at the hospital for their wonderful care.”
We first learned back in May that Princess Beatrice was expecting her first child. The royal family posted a photo from her secret wedding, which took place at The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge in Windsor.
Now, if we only had a name and a first photo. Congrats, Beatrice!
