Princess Beatrice Welcomes Second Daughter Athena Elizabeth

Princess Beatrice welcomed her second daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, on January 22 at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. The name Athena, inspired by the Greek goddess of wisdom and courage, reflects both strength and intelligence, qualities Beatrice hopes to instill in her child. The middle name, Elizabeth, pays tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, while the choice of Athena also nods to Prince Philip's Greek heritage. Born several weeks early, Athena weighed 4 pounds and 5 ounces and is reported to be healthy. Both Beatrice and her newborn have returned home, joining their older siblings, Sienna and Wolfie. The royal family expressed their joy at the news of Athena's arrival, with Beatrice and her husband thanking the hospital staff for their care.
