Princess Beatrice is expecting her second child with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, but it won’t be constant fancy dinners and palace ballroom dancing for her growing family.
Instead, the late queen’s granddaughter, 36, and her Italian property developer partner, 40, enjoy a more “normal” life than some of their royal relatives.
In fact, the royal, who is already mother to Sienna, the couple’s three-year-old daughter, and stepmother to eight-year-old Wolfie, Mr. Mapelli Mozzi’s son with his ex-fiancée, the architect Dara Huang, often She is seen enjoying everyday life. activities.
In August, the king’s niece looked in high spirits as she strolled the streets of Mayfair with her husband of four years, after visiting Marks & Spencer in search of a health food store stocked with vine tomatoes and leafy greens.
Beatrice, daughter of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew, further proved she is one of the firm’s most relatable royals after spending the summer attending the Glastonbury music festival and BST Hyde Park to see the Kings Of Leon performance.

But while the royal, who is vice president of Partnerships and Strategy at Afiniti, enjoys her free time, she is also known for being a committed mother to Sienna and has become close to her stepson Wolfie.
For her third birthday, Sienna had a unicorn-themed party, complete with a cake from Tesco, according to her grandmother, the Duchess of York.
Sarah Ferguson, 64, who lives in Royal Lodge in Windsor, explained how her eldest daughter, Beatrice, went to the popular British supermarket in search of the little girl’s cake.
In an interview with Hello!Fergie said Beatrice and her husband also welcomed Princess Eugenie, Jack Brooksbank and their two sons, August and Ernest.
Prince Andrew’s ex-wife said: “We had a great time, with balloons and a fabulous unicorn cake from Tesco.”
The duchess also revealed that her daughter was especially happy with the gift she bought for Sienna.
Sarah added: “I also gave her a pink glitter raincoat and I think mum was delighted with that.”
Beatrice and Edo, who are not royals, are raising their daughter to be a private citizen and have never shared a photo of Sienna’s face.
Unlike her sister Princess Eugenie, Beatrice does not have social media, but she allowed her sister to post a photo of Sienna at London Zoo with her cousins in April 2023.
Last year, Edo celebrated Sienna’s second birthday by sharing a photo of her wearing a hat. The birthday girl was photographed wearing a floral dress and walking away from the camera.

Last year, Edo celebrated Sienna’s second birthday by sharing a photo of her wearing a hat. The birthday girl was photographed wearing a floral dress and walking away from the camera.
The proud father wrote at the time: ‘Happy birthday girl. You bring us so much love and joy every day.’
Earlier this year, one of Beatrice’s friends told Tatler: ‘Sienna is absolutely beautiful and looks exactly like Bea. She is very daring and has a very good personality.’
Praising her parenthood, the friend added: ‘Bea has such a good heart and is such a kind person, so motherhood came very naturally to her; She’s a fantastic mom.’
Meanwhile, in 2020, sources claimed that “loving stepmother” Beatrice placed “a ton of photos” of her husband Edoardo’s son in her home to make him “feel like he has two families.”
Speaking about the royals’ acceptance of his role, inside sources told The Telegraph’s Camilla Tominey: “Beatrice made sure there were plenty of photographs of him in her home, so it feels like he has two families and “They get along well.”
Royal friends said she talks about the young man “all the time” and embraced him warmly into her life.
Princess Beatrice is pregnant with her second child. The eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, 36, is already mother to Sienna Elizabeth, three, and her stepson Wolfie, eight.
Along with the statement, Beatrice shared a photo of Edo, Sienna and Wolfie walking through the woods.
Wolfie had previously stayed out of the public eye but walked proudly arm in arm with his stepmother and father as he joined the King and Queen on their walk to church in Sandringham on Christmas Day 2022.
Then, in 2023, she made her first appearance in a royal engagement at the Princess of Wales’s Westminster Abbey carol concert.
Beatrice and Edo have been married for four years after tying the knot in 2020 at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park.
The couple have been living at St James’s Palace while their £3.5million home in the Cotswolds is being renovated.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, the mother of Beatrice’s stepson said she’s glad her son Wolfie has “two parents trying to help him” navigate his childhood.
Dara Huang, 41, who was in a relationship with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi between 2015 and 2018, shares eight-year-old Wolfie with her ex, who is now married to Princess Beatrice.
The architect, who is from Florida but lives in Chelsea, said she is glad her son has “two parents trying to help him on both sides.”
she said Harper’s Bazaar: ‘Wolfie has had two sets of parents who tried to help him on both sides, and I just think, “The more the merrier.”
“I feel lucky to have such positive people around him who really embrace him, because it didn’t have to be so easy.”
Dara added: “It all depends on your point of view. I don’t understand people who are divorced and then have their children as collateral; that doesn’t make any sense. It’s about creating a happy home and lifestyle.”
In 2023, Wolfie made his first appearance in a royal engagement at the Princess of Wales’s Westminster Abbey Carol Concert.
When the couple announced Sienna’s name in October 2021, Edoardo shared a footprint of his daughter along with her full name.
Beatrice and her husband Edoardo are preparing to welcome a new addition to their family in early spring.
In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “HRH Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child together in early spring; a brother to Wolfie, eight, and Sienna, three years old.
“His Majesty the King has been informed and both families are delighted with the news.”
Two new photos of the family were shared to mark the announcement, one of which shows blonde-haired Sienna from behind as she walks down a country road, holding hands amid her father and older brother Wolfie.
The young woman, with a red bow in her hair, is equipped with bright yellow wellies and a blue all-in-one waterproof suit decorated with cloud and bird motifs.
In another image, Beatrice, very happy, dressed in a black down jacket, smiles at the camera while being hugged by Mapelli Mozzi, who is looking at his wife.
The grandson will be the king’s great-nephew and second cousin to Prince George, Louis and Princess Charlotte.
He will also be Prince Andrew’s fourth grandchild, as Princess Eugenie has two sons, August and Ernest Brooksbank.
The baby, who will not be HRH, will be born 11th in line to the throne, while Beatrice’s younger sister, Princess Eugenie, will drop to 12th.
