Princess Beatrice has welcomed a new royal baby girl as Edoardo shared beautiful photo of the young royal on his Instagram account.
The Princess of York was due to give birth in early spring and was warned by doctors in December not to travel long distances.
Buckingham Palace announced: “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, born on Wednesday, 22nd January, at 12:57pm, at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London.
“The baby was born weighing 4 pounds and 5 ounces.”

The statement added: “Their majesties the King and Queen and other members of the Royal Family have all been informed and are delighted with the news.”
Princess Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi would like to thank all the staff at the hospital for their wonderful care they have received.
Beatrice and her daughter are said to be healthy and doing well, and the family are enjoying spending time together with Athena’s older siblings, Wolfie and Sienna.
Athena Elizabeth Rose is thought to be a subtle nod towards the late Queen Elizabeth.
The baby was born weighing 4 pounds and 5 ounces.
