Huge congratulations are in order for Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edo Mapelli Mozzi, who have welcomed a new baby girl into their family. The little one has the super unique name of Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, which pays a beautiful tribute to Beatrice's grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.
A post went out on the Royal family's official social media channels announcing the happy news, along with sharing a sweet picture of Athena who is shyly covering her face.
The caption of the post reads: "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 12:57pm. The baby was born weighing 4 pounds and 5 ounces."
It added, "The King and Queen, and other members of The Royal Family have all been informed and are delighted with the news. Princess Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi would like to thank all the staff at the hospital for their wonderful care.
"Her Royal Highness and her daughter are healthy and doing well, and the family are enjoying spending time together with Athena’s older siblings, Wolfie and Sienna."
Over on his personal account, Edo wrote a tender message for his new daughter, too.
"Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi," he began the post. "We welcomed Baby Athena into our lives last week. She is tiny and absolutely perfect. We are all (including Wolfie and Sienna) already completely besotted with her. Our hearts are overflowing with love for you, baby Athena."
Everyone's clicking on...
He also took the time to shout out the staff who cared for Beatrice and Athena during the birth and beyond. "A massive thank you from my wife and I goes out to all the wonderful staff at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for their exceptional care and support during this incredibly special time."
Adorable!
