A new Royal baby is expected later this year, Buckingham Palace has announced this morning.
Princess Beatrice, daughter of Prince Andrew, is pregnant with her first child, which is expected in the Autumn.
The Queen was said to be delighted when she learned she will have a 12th great grandchild .
The palace said: “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting a baby in autumn of this year.
“The Queen has been informed and both families are delighted with the news.”
The Queen’s granddaughter and her husband are “very pleased” to be welcoming their first child, the Palace said.
The news has brought joy to the monarch and the royal family who are mourning the loss of the Duke of Edinburgh who died last month.
The Palace said: “The Queen has been informed and both families are delighted with the news.”
Beatrice, 32, and Mr Mapelli Mozzi wed last July in a secret lockdown wedding after their planned ceremony was postponed because of the pandemic.
The baby will be the Queen’s 12th great-grandchild following the arrival of the Sussexes’ second child in the summer.
