Princess Beatrice shares update on baby daughter and says her premature birth was ‘humbling’


Princess Beatrice welcomed her second child, daughter Athena, several weeks premature on 22 January. She has now opened up and said the premature birth was 'humbling'

She joined the royal family at church in Sandringham on Christmas Day after changing her travel plans from spending the festive period overseas, with doctors said to have warned that a premature arrival was a possibility. Beatrice married millionaire property tycoon Edoardo in a secret lockdown wedding in 2020 attended by her grandparents the Queen and Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh, after her planned ceremony was postponed because of the pandemic. At the time of baby Athena's birth, Beatrice and Edoardo released a photograph of the newborn, showing her with dark hair, wearing a white long-sleeved garment, and wrapped in a pink blanket with her face hidden by her arm.
