While this is Princess Beatrice’s first child, her husband’s son Christopher Woolf is from a previous relationship with designer Dara Huang, to whom he was engaged
The princess is the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth. The princess’s baby daughter will be Queen’s 12th great-grandchild and the fourth to enter the royal family this year. She is preceded by her cousins from Zara Tindall, Princess Eugenie, and Meghan Markle. The newly born princess’s daughter will be 11th in line for the British throne, after her mother who is the 10th.
The Princess of York and Mozzi were married in July of 2020 in a small ceremony attended by their parents and Queen. While it remains unlikely for the new addition to the family to receive a British royal title, as they are usually received by male members of the family, she may yet inherit one from her father’s side who are Italian nobility. Mapelli Mozzi’s father is an Italian count and has previously told media outlets that Princess Beatrice could be given a title when she married into the family.
