The couple currently resides at Ivy Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace in London.
The couple share two daughters: sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, born September 18, 2021, at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, and Athena Mapelli Mozzi, born January 22, 2023. Beatrice is also stepmother to Edoardo’s son, Wolfie, from a previous relationship.
This year’s birthday was notably critically important for Princess Beatrice as it marked her first as a mother of two. Athena’s arrival was premature, causing the Princess “months of sheer worry,” as she shared with HELLO! magazine. Athena made her first public appearance with her family at the lionesses’ victory parade on August 7th, following England’s Euro 2025 win.
The timing of Beatrice and Eugenie’s motherhood journeys has been closely linked. Princess Eugenie welcomed her son, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, on February 9, 2021, just months before Sienna’s birth, allowing the sisters to share experiences and support each other through early motherhood.
