Beatrice and Edoardo christened Sienna in a private ceremony
It read: “Her Royal
Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are delighted to
announce the safe arrival of their daughter on Saturday 18th September 2021, at
23.42, at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London.
“The baby weighs 6 pounds
and 2 ounces. The new baby’s grandparents and great-grandparents have all been
informed and are delighted with the news. The family would like to thank all
the staff at the hospital for their wonderful care. Her Royal Highness and her
child are both doing well, and the couple are looking forward to introducing
their daughter to her big brother Christopher Woolf.”
Shortly after the birth, a
family friend of the couple explained the sweet meaning behind the name Sienna.
“They were looking for an
Italian name which started with an S for Sarah, to honour the Duchess [Sarah
Ferguson], and also reflected the golden rust colour of both the Duchess’s hair
colour and Beatrice’s, which the new baby shares,” they said.
