And baby makes three! Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, welcomed their first child together on September 18. (Mozzi shares son Christopher Woolf with his ex Dara Huang.)
"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," Buckingham Palace announced on Monday, September 20. "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," the statement continued.
During an interview with HELLO! magazine, which was published in August, the blonde beauty hinted as to when her child would be born.
"My husband's also dyslexic so we'll see whether we're having this conversation in a couple of months' time with a new baby in the house, but I really see it as a gift," she said.
Earlier this year, the 33-year-old and her husband made the announcement.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting a baby in autumn of this year," Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Wednesday, May 19 — a.k.a. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's third wedding anniversary. "The Queen has been informed and both families are delighted with the news."
In July, Rachel Bowie and Roberta Fiorito said on the "Royally Obsessed" podcast that Beatrice might have hinted at her child's sex while at dinner with friends.
"From Beatrice a possible accidental gender reveal," Bowie said. "This past week she had a girls' dinner in Mayfair and she was holding a pink rabbit behind her back and she had a pink mask with a B and a crown on it."
Fiorito replied, "I am totally convinced it is a girl, hands down. She tried to hide it and when you try to hide it, it is clear that is a confirmation, it has to be."
Beatrice will be a pro, as she spent time with Mozzi's son during quarantine.
"Homeschooling, that was definitely not my forte!" she shared. "Not going to lie. Sadly, I can't blame that on dyslexia. But I've felt very lucky to have had the chance to work with my bonus son over the course of the school closures. It was a huge learning curve for all of us."
