Princess Beatrice opens on “uncertainty” she and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozziface to face when their daughter Athena was born prematurely in January.
“Nothing will prepare you for the moment when you realize that your child will arrive early. There’s such a small check,” wrote Beatrice, 36, VA Vogue UK Essay published on Sunday, March 23. “Will they arrive healthy? Will there be complications? How will you juggle for the rest of your family life and try to keep a little human in safe and well?” ”
She continued, “You know when Your baby will arrive Doctors and midwives will be there and do everything in their power to ensure that she can do it in the first few days. But you have no idea how these things will be played (or) what happens next. The uncertainty leaves you a stunning fear of the unknown. ”
The royal family announced in a statement in October 2024 that Beatrice, the eldest daughter of Exes Prince Andrew and Sarah Fergusonwas pregnant with her second child. Athena’s daughter was born at the beginning of this year and “Several weeks” before the due datethat Beatrice noted in it Vogue UK profile. (Beatrice and Mapelli Mozzi, 41, previously welcomed Sienna’s daughter in 2021. The princess is also the stepmother of her husband’s son, Wolfie, 8, from the past relationship.)
Princess Beatrice found her prince in entrepreneur Edoardo Ma Mozzi after she was introduced by a mutual friend. Us Weekly in November 2018 confirmed that the couple was walking. After three years, the duo was secretly married in July 2020.
“I learned so much from this pregnancy journey – the last phase I spent with all these questions (recorded above) is spinning through the mind,” Beatrice wrote in her essay. “After routine scanning, we realized that our precious cargo needed careful monitoring and we understood that we had to prepare for an early arrival.”
According to Beatrice, since then, it has been “humiliating” to learn and understand more about human bodies – and “more than anything else we don’t know”.
“In many ways, the longest time, women’s health was omitted from the agenda. You can try and plan as much as possible with pregnancy but sometimes has your body – or your child – other ideas that in some cases have different ideas that in some cases can lead to premature birth“Beatrice added.
Beatrice further emphasized that she was “very happy”, that her doctors were watching her carefully – and Athena eventually arrived healthy at 4 pounds and 5 ounces.
“It was so slight that it took more than a few weeks for tears of the relief to dry out and for a lifetime with our healthy child felt real,” Beatrice recalled. “Her legs were as small – almost the same size as the paws on one of the soft bunnies of my older daughter. … I’m very pleased to know that Athena is doing really well now.”
It’s been four weeks since Princess Beatrice welcomed her second child on January 22 – and US Weekly has a new insight into her education. Buckingham Palace on January 29 announced that Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi named her newborn daughter Athena Elizabeth Rose Mazelli Mozzi. The new child is partially named after her (…)
Beatrice decided to open her maternal experience To help other new parents go through similar situations.
“It doesn’t matter who you are or where you came from, so many elements of pregnancy are universal,” she said. “I had a life that is unusual, but my joy and concerns in pregnancy and motherhood are the same as those who have experienced millions of other women around the world. As countless other upcoming mothers, they lay in the weeks of birth and tried to watch every child’s movement in the abdomen and ask a thousand times” What happens or what happens? “”
