Prince Beatrice has announced the birth of her first child, a daughter - and she has an aristocratic rank despite being 11th in line to the throne.
The honour comes despite the fact that those higher up the ranking do not have a royal title.
Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten Windsor - the children of Meghan and Harry - are seventh and eighth in line to the throne.
But they do not have a royal title - unlike their father, who is a Prince and a Duke.
The reason is that the rank for the new baby girl, as yet unnamed, comes through her father's line, and not her mother's.
The honour bestowed on the new baby is granted because her father Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi is an Italian count.
Edoardo's father, Count Allessandro Mapelli Mozzi, once told the Daily Mail : “Edoardo is the only male descendent taking the family into the next generation.
“He is a count, his wife will be a countess automatically and any of their children will be counts or nobile donna.”
The title was given to his family in the nobility of Italy in 1913 by King Victor Emmanuel III to all male descendants imposing the surname and noble family of Mozzi and is incorporated to the family of Mapelli.
Edoardo's ancestral seat is the Villa Mapelli Mozzi in the Bergamo province of Italy.
The title of Nobildonna is below a Countess, Viscountess and Baroness and above a Baronet.
It literally translates and Noble Woman.
