Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will celebrate a major family milestone on Thursday as their younger daughter, Athena, turns one.<\/p>\n

Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi was born on January 22, 2025, at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London and weighed four pounds and five ounces, arriving several weeks early.<\/p>\n

The private family celebration is taking place during a period of attention on Beatrice\u2019s parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, amid the fallout surrounding their position within the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

In late 2025, Buckingham Palace published a statement confirming the King had begun a formal process to remove Andrew\u2019s style titles and honours.<\/p>\n

It was also announced that Andrew would leave Royal Lodge and move to private accommodation connected to the Sandringham estate, with future arrangements privately funded by the King.<\/p>\n

More recently, The Times has reported that Andrew is expected to be temporarily relocated to a property on the Sandringham estate while work is carried out on Marsh Farm.<\/p>\n

Marsh Farm in Norfolk has been widely described as Andrew’s intended longer-term base.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, Beatrice was pictured enjoying a countryside break with Princess Eugenie and a group of friends, including nutritionist Gabriela Peacock, last weekend.<\/p>\n

The getaway came as fresh reports claimed Eugenie had distanced herself from her father. <\/p>\n

The Daily Mail suggested Eugenie had \u201ccut him off\u201d and did not visit over Christmas.<\/p>\n

It is not known whether Eugenie and her father communicated during Athena’s christening, which took place on December 12 at St James’s Palace.<\/p>\n

Athena\u2019s first birthday comes after Beatrice has spoken publicly about the anxiety surrounding a likely preterm birth.<\/p>\n

Writing in Vogue in March 2025, Beatrice revealed she learned her daughter was expected to arrive early and described a period of intense worry before the birth.<\/p>\n

The princess later addressed the experience again in connection with prematurity awareness and the impact it can have on parents.<\/p>\n

Athena\u2019s first birthday is expected to be marked privately.<\/p>\n

Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi have generally kept their children out of the spotlight while continuing with public work and patronages.<\/p>\n

The couple are also parents to Sienna, who was born in 2021. Mr Mapelli Mozzi has a son, Christopher Woolf (Wolfie), from a previous relationship.<\/p>\n

For Beatrice, the day is likely to be framed as a family moment after a year that has included both a demanding start to life with a premature baby and sustained attention on the ongoing York family saga.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will celebrate a major family milestone on Thursday as their younger daughter,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383569,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,77735,96,20044,1852,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-383568","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-edoardo-mapelli-mozzi","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-princess-beatrice","12":"tag-royal","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383568\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
