Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, husband of Princess Beatrice, has shown his support for Prince Mateen of Brunei following the arrival of the royal’s first child.<\/p>\n

The Bruneian prince posted an image on Instagram on Thursday depicting himself dressed in military attire whilst cradling his infant daughter, Princess Zahra, wrapped in a pink blanket.<\/p>\n

The photograph, shared without a caption, attracted numerous well-wishes from followers.<\/p>\n

Among those responding was Mr Mapelli Mozzi, who left a simple red heart emoji beneath the post.<\/p>\n

The property developer, himself a father of three, has previously engaged with the 34-year-old prince on social media.<\/p>\n

When Mateen initially revealed the birth of his daughter alongside his wife, Princess Anisha, Mr Mapelli Mozzi offered his congratulations directly on the post.<\/p>\n

“Congratulations Mateen and Anisha. Zahra \u2764\ufe0f,” he wrote at the time.<\/p>\n

The Bruneian royal announced his daughter’s arrival in February, later sharing her full name as Zahra Mariam Bolkiah on February 11.<\/p>\n

In his announcement, Mateen expressed gratitude to the medical staff at JPMC for their care during the birth, whilst also thanking supporters for their kind messages.<\/p>\n

The exchange demonstrates an ongoing connection between the two fathers through social media interactions.<\/p>\n

Mr Mapelli Mozzi and Princess Beatrice tied the knot during an intimate wedding ceremony in Windsor in 2020.<\/p>\n

The couple, who are ninth in line to the throne through Beatrice’s position as granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, have since welcomed two daughters together.<\/p>\n

Their eldest, Sienna Elizabeth, was born in September 2021, followed by Athena Elizabeth Rose in January this year.<\/p>\n

Beatrice, 37, also serves as stepmother to Christopher, known as Wolfie, from Mr Mapelli Mozzi’s previous relationship with Dara Huang.<\/p>\n

The princess has spoken warmly of her role, describing it as a “great honour” during a 2021 interview with The London Standard.<\/p>\n

Prince Mateen, the 34-year-old son of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and his former wife Mariam binti Abdul Aziz, currently holds fifth position in Brunei’s line of succession.<\/p>\n

Princess Zahra was born on February 8 at 8.50am, with the news first confirmed by Bruneian state broadcaster RTB News.<\/p>\n

The royal birth was celebrated with a traditional ceremony, including 17 cannon shots fired at the grounds of Istana Nurul Iman palace.<\/p>\n

However, under Brunei’s constitution, the newborn princess will not enter the line of succession, as only Islamic males are eligible for the throne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, husband of Princess Beatrice, has shown his support for Prince Mateen of Brunei following the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":337582,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,69710,146,85,46,27977,52388,52701],"class_list":["post-337581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-edoardo-mapelli-mozzi","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-princess-beatrice","tag-royal","tag-sgg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=337581"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337581\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=337581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=337581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=337581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
