Britain’s Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have welcomed their second child together, daughter Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, Buckingham Palace announced on January 29.
The baby was born several weeks premature on January 22, weighing only four pounds and five ounces, but is said to be healthy, per BBC. The Buckingham Palace have said, “Their majesties the king and queen and other members of the royal family have all been informed and are delighted with the news.”

Princess Beatrice married millionaire property tycoon Mozzi in July 2020. The elder princess of York inherited the Italian title of “nobile donna” or “contessa” from Mozzi’s father, Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi, when they wed.
The couple already have two other children, Christopher Woolf, Mapello Mozzi’s eight-year-old son from a previous relationship, and the couple’s three-year-old daughter Sienna.
Read on to learn more about the property tycoon.
Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi comes from a family of Italian aristocrats

Edoardo’s father, Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi, is a former Olympic Alpine skier, the BBC reported. The Italian count competed for Britain in the 1972 Winter Olympics. Edoardo and Beatrice inherited his title, making the pair a “count” and “contessa”.
Edoardo’s parents are divorced and his mother, Nikki Williams-Ellis (formerly Nikki Shale), subsequently married the late Conservative parliamentarian Christopher Shale, according to the BBC.
Edoardo does not have a close relationship with his biological father and has called the late Shale “the only father I have ever known”, according to reports. The count has not even met Princess Beatrice.
He was a long-time friend of the royal family

The Daily Mail reports Mozzi’s stepfather once employed Beatrice’s mother, Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson, as a secretary at his public relations firm long before she married Beatrice’s father, Prince Andrew. Beatrice and her parents attended Shale’s funeral in 2011, according to People.
“Our family has known Beatrice for most of her life,” Mozzi’s parents said in a statement after the pair made their official engagement announcement in 2019. “Edo and Beatrice are made for each other, and their happiness and love for each other is there for all to see. They share an incredibly strong and united bond, their marriage will only strengthen what is already a wonderful relationship.”
He founded property development firm Banda when he was just 23

“I don’t think I am the average developer,” he told The New York Times in a 2019 interview. “I think what Banda does is unique. There is certainly no one else of my age doing things like this in London. I actually don’t think anyone in London is doing a project that is as high a quality as this and at such a good price.”
The New York Times characterised Mozzi’s business model as “creating carefully designed homes for wealthy clients in areas slightly outside the most prestigious and expensive parts of London and selling them to people who intend to live in them, rather than to investors”.
He also serves as the firm’s CEO

The company has developed more than 400,000 sq ft of London real estate with a total gross development value of almost £700 million (about US$865 million), according to LinkedIn.
The firm “offers the comprehensive and completely bespoke services of property search, development, project management and interior design”, according to its website.
While his personal net worth is not known, several publications (including Town and Country and People magazine) note Mozzi is reportedly a multimillionaire in his own right.
He co-founded a non-profit organisation

In October 2011, Mozzi also co-founded a non-profit with his brother Alby Shale that teaches cricket to people in Rwanda called Cricket Builds Hope.
Cricket Builds Hope “uses cricket as a tool for positive social change in Rwanda”, according to Mozzi’s LinkedIn profile. The non-profit funded the construction of a cricket stadium in Rwanda and runs athletic programmes for local children.
Mozzi served as the chairman of the organisation’s board from 2011 to 2015, according to LinkedIn.
He has a son named Wolfie from a previous engagement

Wolfie’s mother is American architect Dara Huang, according to USA Today. The two split four months before Mozzi and Beatrice started dating.
The pair have been romantically involved since 2019

The couple’s relationship “moved pretty quickly”, according to the BBC. The pair made their first public appearance as a couple in March 2019. They attended a gala together at the National Portrait Gallery in London. The couple got engaged during a weekend trip to Italy in September 2019, the Duke of York announced.
“We are thrilled that Beatrice and Edoardo have got engaged, having watched their relationship develop with pride,” the Duke and Duchess of York said in a statement in September 2019. “We are the lucky parents of a wonderful daughter who has found her love and companion in a completely devoted friend and loyal young man. We send them every good wish for a wonderful family future.”
The couple married in July 2020, in a private wedding ceremony at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor.
He designed Princess Beatrice’s engagement ring himself

He did, however, have some help from British jewellery designer Shaun Leane, The Duke of York noted in the engagement statement.
The ring is estimated to have cost US$100,000.

“I am so honoured Edoardo chose to work with me to design the engagement ring for Princess Beatrice and to have been involved in this special moment in their lives,” Leane wrote on Instagram. “The bespoke experience was a beautiful journey; from imagining the design with Edoardo to the crafting of the finished rings. Being able to incorporate both Edoardo and Princess Beatrice’s characters into the design has resulted in a unique ring that represents their love and lives entwining.”
