Princess Eugenie is excited to become an aunt again! The 34-year-old royal congratulated her older sister, Princess Beatrice, on social media after Beatrice announced she is expecting her second child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi next year.
“Congratulations Beabea.. So, looking forward to more on this journey of motherhood together. And adding another little one to the gang,” she wrote in her Instagram post.
Beatrice has a three-year-old daughter, Sienna, and an eight-year-old stepson, Christopher Woolf, with Edoardo, while Eugenie has two sons, August, three, and one-year-old Ernest, with her husband, Jack Brooksbank.
Eugenie also shared a personal photo featuring Jack, Edoardo, and Beatrice on a beach with their young children, who were dressed in puddle suits, having fun splashing in the water. Another picture showed the royal sisters smiling at the camera, both wearing wax jackets and hats, with Eugenie in festive red attire.
Eugenie mentioned in her caption, “I couldn’t find a single group shot of us [hand to face emoji], so this one from Christmas 2022 will have to do.” The families spent Christmas at Sandringham, marking King Charles’s first time hosting. At that gathering, Eugenie was pregnant with Ernest, though she revealed the news in January 2023.
Beatrice and Edoardo were also accompanied by Edoardo’s son, Wolfie, during their Christmas Day church walk. Proud grandmother Sarah, Duchess of York, shared her excitement about becoming a grandmother again.
Posting rare photos of Beatrice and Sienna, the 64-year-old expressed her joy on Instagram: “A very proud GiGi/Mum today. Such an incredible blessing and an embrace to my heart. Wolfie, August, Ernie, and Sienna will be over the moon to have the fifth member of the five aside.”
Buckingham Palace officially announced on Tuesday that “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child together in early spring; a sibling for Wolfie, aged eight, and Sienna, aged three. His Majesty The King has been informed and both families are delighted with the news.”
