Beatrice is the ninth-in-line to the throne and the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Ferguson. She married her husband in July 2020, and the couple already have one daughter, Sienna. Mozzi also has a son called Wolfie, from a previous relationship.

The couple’s upcoming bundle of joy will be born 11th in line to the throne, with Beatrice’s younger sister Princess Eugenie moving down to 12th place.

The news is likely to be warmly welcomed by the Royal Family, who are currently navigating a difficult period as several members grapple with significant health issues. Both King Charles and Princess Catherine have been enduring ongoing battles with cancer, while Ferguson recently faced her own health scare after being diagnosed with skin cancer.
