Beatrice and Mozzi tied the knot in a private ceremony in July 2020 in Windsor, England. They announced they were expecting a baby in May.
This is the first child for the princess, while her husband has a son, Christopher Woolf, who was born in 2016, from a previous relationship.
"The couple are looking forward to introducing their daughter to her big brother Christopher Woolf," the statement from Buckingham Palace read.

This baby news is the latest in a royal baby boom this year. Zara Tindall, Beatrice's cousin, welcomed her third child, Lucas, in March. And another one of Beatrice's cousins, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, welcomed their second child, Lilibet, in June.
Beatrice’s sister, Princess Eugenie, and husband Jack Brooksbank also welcomed a son, August Philip Hawke, in February.
