Princess Beatrice has been pictured for the first time since the birth of her second daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi. The 36-year-old, who also shares three-year-old Sienna with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, gave birth to Athena on January 22.

The baby girl's birth was officially announced one week later via the Royal Family's social media accounts on January 29. Edoardo also shared a post on his Instagram account to welcome "absolutely perfect" Athena, who weighed 4 pounds 5 ounces at the time of her birth. Beatrice - dressed in an-all cream ensemble - joined her husband at The V&A in London, earlier this evening.

The couple, who wed in 2020, attended Borne's Wonderland gala to mark the royal's newly announced patronage of the prematurity research charity.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Borne is dedicated to ending premature birth. It funds research to advance knowledge of pregnancy and childbirth and aims to improve the lives of mothers and babies and prevent preterm birth.

It is thought that Athena arrived early, with Beatrice previously said to be due in spring.

Alongside his stylish wife, Edoardo looked sophisticated in a black tie outfit as he posed next to Beatrice.

As well as Athena and Sienna, Beatrice is also a proud stepmother to Edoardo's son, eight-year-old Wolfie - who she has previously described as her "bonus" child.

Commenting on her new role, the Princess said: “The work that Borne is undertaking is something that is incredibly close and personal to me following the recent birth of my daughter. Every year in the UK, 60,000 babies are delivered too soon, with little information or research as to why this is. That is why I am really looking forward to supporting Borne and its programme of groundbreaking research, which I hope will help thousands of parents and children in the future.”

Back in January, Buckingham Palace said: "Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, born on Wednesday January 22 at 12.57pm, at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London.

"The baby was born weighing 4 pounds and 5 ounces.

"Their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of the royal family have all been informed and are delighted with the news."
