Princess Beatrice’s daughter Athena honors royal family members

Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have welcomed their second child, a daughter named Athena. The baby was born on January 22 at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London, weighing 4 pounds 5 ounces. The couple shared their joy in an announcement, with Edoardo describing Athena as "tiny and absolutely perfect." The name Athena, which is of Greek origin, references the goddess of wisdom. It also has a connection to both parents' fathers, who have names starting with "A": Prince Andrew and Alessandro "Alex" Mapelli Mozzi. Athena's middle names include Elizabeth and Rose. Elizabeth honors Beatrice’s late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. The name Rose may also pay tribute to Princess Margaret, the Queen’s sister, who was known for her sharp wit. Athena joins her older sister, Sienna, who is three years old, and her stepbrother, Wolfie, who is eight. With Athena's birth, she is now 11th in the line of succession to the British throne, pushing her aunt, Princess Eugenie, to 12th.
