Britain's Princess Beatrice is pregnant with her second child

LONDON (AP) — Britain's Princess Beatrice is pregnant with her second child, Buckingham Palace announced Tuesday.

The site said that Beatrice, 36, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi “are very happy to announce that they are expecting their second child together in early spring.”

The baby will be a sibling to 8-year-old Wolfie — Mapelo Mozzi's son from a previous relationship — and the couple's 3-year-old daughter Sienna.

Buckingham Palace said King Charles III had been informed “and both families are delighted at the news.”

Beatrice, who is ninth in line to the British throne, is the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York.

She married millionaire property tycoon Mapelli Mozzi in July 2020 in a private wedding ceremony at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor.
