As you might have guessed – based on her literal name – that Princess Beatrice (who just announced her pregnancy!) uses the royal title of 'Princess'. But did you know that she actually has another fancy noble title that has zero to do with the royal family?
Rather than it being related to her uncle, who is ever so casually King Charles, Princess Beatrice's other title comes via her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi (who happens to be a casual Italian count).
Edo's father, Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi, confirmed details about Princess Beatrice's ~other~ title to the Daily Mail, letting it be known that she will be able to call herself "Contessa" as well as "Nobile Donna."
"Edoardo is the only male descendent taking the family into the next generation," Count Alessandro explained. "He is a count—his wife will be a countess automatically and any of their children will be counts or nobile donna."
He added, "We as a family celebrated 1,000 years in 1985 with unbroken documented archives. We are one of the only families in Italy to have all the records from that period to today."
It's called being humble, okay!

Anyway, we love Bea and Edo as a duo – and when the pair celebrated their wedding anniversary last summer, Edo wrote the sweetest tribute to his wife on Instagram, musing: "Happy wedding anniversary to the most beautiful wife in the world. I am so grateful for every moment we have shared, every challenge we have overcome, and every dream we have pursued together. I love you more than words can say, and I can't wait to celebrate many more anniversaries with you."
The most beautiful wife and Princess and Contessa? What a serve.
