Princess Beatrice Expecting Second Child, To Inherit Italian Royal Title
The new baby will join the British line of succession but will not receive a British royal title from King Charles.
- Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are expecting their second child early next year, as announced by Buckingham Palace.
- The baby will be 11th in line to the British throne but will not receive a British royal title due to current royal protocols.
- Instead, the child will inherit an Italian royal title, as Edoardo descends from Italian aristocracy, making Beatrice a 'Contessa' and 'Nobile Donna' upon marriage.
- Princess Beatrice and Edoardo's first child, Sienna, and Edoardo's son from a previous relationship, Christopher Woolf, also hold Italian titles.
- The couple shared family photos with the announcement, marking the first public image of their daughter Sienna.
