Princess Beatrice seen for first time since announcing she’s pregnant with 2nd child as she heads to star-studded bash
Princess Beatrice has been pictured for the first time since announcing she is pregnant with her second child.
Beatrice, 36, was spotted partying at the celeb favourite Chiltern Firehouse restaurant in Marylebone, central London last night.
She dressed her bump in a velvet blazer with a cinched waist and long sleeves.
The princess paired the blazer with wide-leg trousers and glam make-up.
She joined the likes of Ellie Goulding, Lily Allen, Noel Gallagher and Rachel Weisz at the bash to mark the restaurant’s 10th anniversary.
Earlier this week Buckingham Palace announced that Beatrice is pregnant with her second child.
Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who already share one child together, are expecting another in spring next year.
The couple had daughter Sienna, three, in 2021 – but Edoardo also has son Christopher Woolf, known as Wolfie, eight, from a previous relationship.
Buckingham Palace announced the happy news on Tuesday alongside an image of loved-up Bea and Ed.
They said in a statement: “HRH 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.”
A sweet rare snap of Edoardo with kids Wolfie and Sienna walking through a woodland was also a part of the announcement.
The palace said King Charles, Beatrice’s uncle, is “delighted”.
It added: “His Majesty The King has been informed and both families are delighted with the news.”
The soon-to-be new edition would have been the late Queen‘s 13th great-grandchild – but will not be an HRH.
The baby will be born 11th in line to the throne, with Beatrice’s younger sister Princess Eugenie moving down to 12th place.
Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, took to her Instagram account to celebrate her daughter’s news.
Alongside a slew of cute snaps, Fergie penned: “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!”
A longer statement read: “Darling Beatrice. Words can’t quite express the joy and excitement I feel as you and Edo prepare to welcome another precious addition to your beautiful family.
“Becoming a granny again fills my heart with so much happiness and gratitude.
“Watching you grow as a mother has been one of the greatest privileges of my life, and now to see your family blossom further is an absolute blessing.
“Our family is growing, and so too is the love that surrounds us.
“I cannot wait to meet this little one and to share in all the wonderful memories we will make together. All my love.”
Beatrice’s younger sister Princess Eugenie also congratulated “Beabea”.
She shared a group photo from Christmas 2022 on social media and wrote: “Congratulations Beabea.. So looking forward to more on this journey of motherhood together.
“And adding another little one to the gang. I couldn’t find a single group shot of us, so this one from Christmas 2022 will have to do.”
The happy news comes during one of the Royal Family’s most personally challenging years, with the King, the Princess of Wales and Beatrice’s mother Sarah, Duchess of York, all being diagnosed with cancer.
Sarah was treated for malignant melanoma skin cancer in January just months after undergoing a mastectomy for breast cancer.
But Beatrice said in May the duchess had been given the “all clear”.
Beatrice wed multi-millionaire property developer Edoardo in July 2020.
The couple met in September 2018 about a month before Princess Eugenie got married on October 12 to Jack Brooksbank.
And they announced their engagement on September 26, 2019 – a year after meeting.
