Princess Beatrice Announces Expecting Second Child

Princess Beatrice, granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II, is expecting her second child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, as announced by Buckingham Palace. The couple, who are already parents to three-year-old Sienna and Edoardo's eight-year-old son Wolfie, are looking forward to welcoming their new baby in early spring 2024. This royal baby will become the 11th in line to the throne, causing a shift in succession positions for other family members. Both families are reportedly delighted with the news, which comes during a challenging year for the royal family, including health battles faced by Beatrice's mother, Sarah, Duchess of York. The announcement included two charming family photos shared on social media. The new baby will be the second grandchild for the York family and the 14th great-grandchild of the late queen.
