Named Athena Elizabeth Rose (in a nod to Beatrice's late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth), the little girl arrived a few weeks early, but mother and daughter are both reportedly happy and healthy.
"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, 22nd January, at 12:57pm," the caption read, going on to note that the baby weighed 4 pounds and 5 ounces at birth.
"The King and Queen, and other members of The Royal Family have all been informed and are delighted with the news," the statement continued.

In addition to Athena, Beatrice and Edoardo share a 3-year-old daughter, Sienna Elizabeth, while Edoardo shares his 8-year-old son, Christopher Woolf ("Wolfie"), with his ex, Dara Huang.
As People reported, Athena—11th in the British line of succession to the throne—has also inherited an aristocratic title from her father's side of the family, as the property developer is descended from Italian aristocracy (making his children a "count" if male and a "nobile donna" if female).
