ā€œThe new baby’s grandparents and great-grandparents have all been informed and are delighted with the news. The family would like to thank all the staff at the hospital for their wonderful care,ā€ the statement said.

Beatrice, 33, is also stepmother to Mapelli Mozzi’s young son Wolfie, from his previous relationship with ex-fiancee Dara Huang.

ā€œHer Royal Highness and her child are both doing well and the couple are looking forward to introducing their daughter to her big brother Christopher Woolf.ā€

The baby is the 12th great-grandchild for Britain’s 95-year-old monarch.

The birth is good news for Beatrice’ family, coming on the back of a slew of negative headlines that have followed a US sex assault lawsuit against her father Prince Andrew, the Queen’s second son.
