princess Eugenie has shared her reaction to her sister, Princess Beatrice’s baby news as well as two previously unseen photos – and it’s safe to say that she’s excited about becoming an aunt!
The royal mum, 30, posted a previously unseen photo from Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi’s wedding day in Windsor last July.
Beatrice wearing the Queen’s vintage Norman Hartnell dress and Queen Mary’s diamond fringe tiara beams at her sister behind the camera, as her new husband grins by her side.
A second image appears to show the newlyweds on holiday in front of a waterfall.
Eugenie – who welcomed her first child, son August, in February – also added a sweet message to her pregnant sibling on Instagram.
Beatrice is expecting her first child with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi later this year.
Alongside the snaps, Eugenie wrote: “It’s World Bee Day!! A day to celebrate nature’s most badass little friend with their black and yellow stripes…
“But our furry little friends have to share today with my big sis Bea, who’s got a little one on the way.
“Beabea and Edo huge congratulations on your news – can’t wait to meet the little one.”
While the baby will be Beatrice’s first child, Edoardo already has a son Christopher Woolf (affectionately known as Wolfie), from his previous relationship with American architect Dara Huang.
Ninth in line to the throne, Beatrice will move to tenth place when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s baby arrives.
The princess’s son or daughter will be 11th in line to the throne when he or she is born, which means that Beatrice’s younger sister Princess Eugenie will move down to 12th place.
It will be the second grandchild for the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, after the birth of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank‘s son August in February.
