Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi Honor Queen Elizabeth in Their Baby's Name
Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, have paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II by naming their newborn daughter after the beloved monarch.
Born on January 22, their daughter has been named **Athena Elizabeth Rose**, according to an official statement from the royal family.
The statement confirmed that Athena arrived weighing **4 pounds and 5 ounces** and shared that **King Charles, Queen Camilla, and other members of the royal family have been informed and are delighted with the news**.
*"Her Royal Highness and her daughter are healthy and doing well, and the family are enjoying spending time together with Athena’s older siblings, Wolfie and Sienna,"* the statement added.
Princess Beatrice is not the first royal to honor Queen Elizabeth through a baby’s name. **Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose to name their daughter Lilibet**, after the Queen’s childhood nickname, following their departure from royal duties.
At the time, several UK media outlets reported that the Queen was not entirely pleased with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for using her personal nickname. However, no reports could be independently verified.
Queen Elizabeth II passed away in September 2022 at the age of 96, leaving behind a lasting legacy that continues to influence the royal family.
