Princess Beatrice announced the arrival of her second child last week and we are so excited for her and her family! The royal, who is married to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, shared the news via Buckingham Palace, who announced the birth online with the cutest picture.
The royal baby arrived on 22 January at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.
In Athena’s first sweet snap, the baby can be seen snuggled up in a delightful white babygrow and wrapped in the prettiest cashmere blanket, which was from high-end childrenswear brand, Marie Chantal, and adorned with angel wings.
What an outfit! The £225 staple is known as the ‘Angel Wing cashmere blanket’ and is designed in a rosy pink. The website says of the style: “Makes a delightful gift for a newborn or a new mama! This makes for the perfect addition to your new baby’s pram. Made from the softest pink cashmere, this beautiful blanket features an all over Angel Wing pointelle motif.”
It’s interesting that Princess Eugenie’s older sister chose this brand; after all, it does have a deep royal connection. It was founded in 2000 by Marie-Chantal, Crown Princess of Greece.
