Princess Beatrice Welcomes Second Baby, and Names Her In Honor of Queen Elizabeth

On Mozzi’s Instagram account, he wrote that the couple’s second daughter was “tiny and absolutely perfect.” “We welcomed baby Athena into our lives last week. She is tiny and absolutely perfect,” he said. “We are all (including Wolfie and Sienna) already completely besotted with her. Our hearts are overflowing with love for you, baby Athena. 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.”

Athena Elizabeth, who is believed to have been named after the late Queen Elizabeth II, is now 11th in the line of succession to the British throne. Princess Beatrice is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. As a blood princess, she retains her HRH title even though she is a private citizen who is not funded by the royal family. The arrival of the couple’s second child pushes Princess Beatrice’s younger sister Princess Eugenie down the line of succession to 12th place.
