Princess Beatrice offers some glimmer of optimism in the midst of all the disappointing news surrounding her family: a new little prince or princess is about to join the royal succession!
Buckingham Palace announced on October 1 that Princess Beatrice and her husband of four years, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, are expecting their second child early this spring, BBC reported. "Both families are delighted with the news," the palace said, adding that her uncle, King Charles Ill, has been notified of the situation.
Beatrice, 36, is the older daughter of the disgraced Prince Andrew. She is the stepmother of Wolfie, 8, and shares custody of her daughter Sienna, 3.
Eugenie, Bea's sister, will become twelfth in line to the throne as a result of the new arrival, who will be eleventh in line. According to a message that Sarah Ferguson, the princess' mother, posted on social media, "Becoming a granny again fills my heart with so much happiness and gratitude."
The news of the newborn comes when the royal family goes through a challenging phase. Furthermore, in addition to Andrew, who has been accused of engaging in sex trafficking, several members, including Charles, Princess Kate, and Bea's mother, have been suffering from cancer, CNN reported. Additionally, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, remain estranged from the family today.
In addition, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, not only broke long-standing tradition but also pushed the boundaries of good taste when he revealed the actual reason why Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8, 2022.
"I had known for a year or more that she had a form of bone cancer, and her doctors were worried that at any time she could enter a sharp decline," the 60-year-old wrote in his memoir, adding that at their last meeting, "she seemed pale and more stooped, and she had dark bruising on her hands and wrists, probably from drips or injections."
What he said is not the same as what was written on the death certificate of the late Queen Elizabeth, which noted that she passed away due to "old age."
According to sources who spoke to Star Magazine, the royal family is "livid" that Johnson, who has been called "Bojo the Clown" by some members of the press in the United Kingdom, has disclosed such "graphic and sensitive" health information about the queen.
An insider also stated that the news is distressing for the entire family. Even if they won't publicly scold him, they're exploding angrily behind closed doors.
A second source informed Star Magazine that Bea's announcement was perfect timing. People now have optimism and something to be happy about. According to the informant, the pregnant royal is likewise "ecstatic. " She and Edo finally got the second child they always wanted, and their joy is unending.
