The couple, who met in September 2018 and tied the knot in July 2020, have named their daughter Athena Elizabeth – which is a sweet nod to the princess’ grandparents, the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

The name Athena comes from the Greek goddess Athena, who personifies wisdom, warfare, and craftwork — all of which are powerful inspirations for baby.

Legend has it that Athena was born through Zeus’ forehead, created the first olive tree, and acted as an aid to many Greek figures.

With her limitless power and influence, Athena will make for a wonderful name for baby to wear with pride.

Although the link between the tot’s middle name Elizabeth and the late Queen is obvious, what some royal fans may not know is that the late Prince Philip had Greek heritage – which explains the name Athena (with Athens being the capital of the sunny the Mediterranean country).

Born on the Greek island of Corfu on 10 June 1921, the late Duke of Edinburgh was named Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark.

His Royal Highness was the only son of Prince Andrew of Greece, who was the younger brother of King Constantine I of Greece.

Sharing the wonderful news, Edoardo said: “Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi.

“We welcomed Baby Athena into our lives last week. She is tiny and absolutely perfect.

”We are all (including Wolfie and Sienna) already completely besotted with her.

“Our hearts are overflowing with love for you, baby Athena.

“A massive thank you from my wife and I goes out to all the wonderful staff at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for their exceptional care and support during this incredibly special time.”

Their baby daughter was born several weeks prematurely and is said to be healthy and doing well – weighing 4lb 5oz.

The princess, 36, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi already share daughter Sienna, three.

A post on the Royal Family’s Instagram account also said: “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, born on Wednesday, January 22, at 12:57pm.

“The baby was born weighing 4 pounds and 5 ounces.

“The King and Queen, and other members of The Royal Family have all been informed and are delighted with the news.

“Princess Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi would like to thank all the staff at the hospital for their wonderful care.

“Her Royal Highness and her daughter are healthy and doing well, and the family are enjoying spending time together with Athena’s older siblings, Wolfie and Sienna.”

Edoardo also has son Christopher Woolf, known as Wolfie, eight, from a previous relationship.

It comes after the couple announced they were expecting in October last year.

At the time, Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child together in early spring; a sibling for Wolfie, aged eight, and Sienna, aged three.”

CORONATION Street’s Leanne Battersby locks lips with a former flame just days after romping with toyboy lover.

In recent weeks, she has been on a downward spiral after her heartbreak over Nick (Ben Price) and Toyah’s (Georgia Taylor) romance.

On tonight’s episode of Coronation Street, Steve (Simon Gregson) was seen to feel sorry for his former lover.

Leanne (Jan Danson) looked depressed in Roy’s Rolls before he invited her over to number one for a glass of red wine.

After she accepted the invite, the pair reflected on their friendship, and Leanne couldn’t help but get emotional.

She previously became pregnant with his baby after a one-night stand, only for their child Oliver to pass away at the age of three-years old following a mitochondrial disease diagnosis.

Leanne claimed that Steve has been the only one who was truly there for her, as Steve admitted that he was glad she was with Oliver in his final hours.

He admitted: “I couldn’t think of a better person to have a child with. I’ve always been in awe of your strength, I still am.”

She then leant on his shoulder as he held her in a warm and emotional embrace on the long-running ITV soap.

“Don’t start because you will have me going, then I’ll lose my manly cool,” Steve added.

With fire in her eyes, Leanne remarked: “You’ll never lose that,” before she leaned in.

The pair kissed tenderly on the sofa before moving the action upstairs to Steve’s bedroom.

However, he was left unaware that Amy (Elle Mulvaney) was trying to reach him after running into the father of her rapist.

Aaron Sandford (James Craven) was celebrating his stag night at the same nightclub she was attending for a birthday party.

He was revealed to be engaged and set to welcome a baby with his new fiancée, leaving Amy shocked and traumatised.

Steve and Leanne’s liaison comes after Leanne’s surprise romp with hunky toyboy lover Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott).

The surprise love story came out of nowhere as the Weatherfield residents enjoyed a night of passion.

Viewers of the serial drama were left open-mouthed as the show opened to reveal the duo had spent the night together.

This was after she attempted to take revenge on her ex-fiancé Nick and her sister Toyah in the aftermath of their illicit affair by setting them up for fraud.

Viewers also saw Leanne attempt to make a pass at Ronnie Bailey as she got increasingly drunk.

Edoardo is the founder of a property consultancy firm called Banda, which means “big shed” in Swahili.

He founded the company in 2007.

He specialises in discreetly finding and developing multi-million-pound homes for rich clients.

Father of three

On October 1, 2024, it was revealed Edoardo is expecting his third child – his second with wife Beatrice.

The couple’s first child was born on September 18, 2021.”

The couple named their daughter Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi in a touching nod to the Queen.

Edoardo also has a son name Christopher Woolf with his ex-fiancee Dara Huang.

Princess Beatrice is now a stepmother to young Christopher.

Their third child was born on January 22, 2025.

Beatrice and Edoardo named their second daughter Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, with her middle name being a reference to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

She weighed just 4lbs and 5oz when she was born, since she was born prematurely, but is “healthy”.

Announcing the birth, a post on the Royal Family’s social media said: “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, born on Wednesday, January 22, at 12:57pm.

“The baby was born weighing 4 pounds and 5 ounces.

“The King and Queen, and other members of The Royal Family have all been informed and are delighted with the news.

“Princess Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi would like to thank all the staff at the hospital for their wonderful care.

“Her Royal Highness and her daughter are healthy and doing well, and the family are enjoying spending time together with Athena’s older siblings, Wolfie and Sienna.”

Love at first sight

It is thought that the pair first met in September 2018, shortly before Beatrice’s sister Eugenie got married.

A friend told The Sun at the time: “Beatrice and Edo have the same circle of friends and were introduced through a mutual chum.

“They hit it off instantly and have a real laugh together. They’ve been on holiday together and Beatrice introduced him to Fergie and her dad.”

They added: “Everyone is thrilled that Bea is so happy and in such a good place right now.”

Beatrice had been single since splitting from her American boyfriend Dave Clark in 2016 after a decade together.

Royal wedding

As the daughter of Prince Andrew and granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo could have had a public royal wedding as enjoyed by her younger sister Eugenie.

However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the ceremony was postponed until July 17, 2020.

Despite being rescheduled, the couple decided to have a small ceremony at Windsor Castle.

Their wedding was attended by 20 guests, including the late Queen, Prince Philip, her father Prince Andrew and mother Sarah Ferguson.

STRICTLY fans are convinced Wynne Evans hid a ‘pointed’ swipe in his statement after being axed from the tour.

The Go Compare opera singer, 53, is facing backlash after making a crude sexual comment about pro dancer Janette Manrara, 41, at a photocall to launch the shows.

Breaking his silence on the firing, Wynne said yesterday evening: “I’ve agreed with the BBC that l’ll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing.

“I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection.

“Apologies to those I won’t get to see at the remaining performances and I’m grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me.”

According to insiders, the incident followed “repeated warnings about his behaviour” leading show bosses to remove him from the tour.

But fans are now convinced he’s taken a cryptic swipe at them over the move – all because of one line suggesting his co-stars have his back.

Taking to a Reddit forum titled “Wynne’s statement”, one pointed out: “The ‘support from the tour gang’ is pretty pointed too. Think we’re being told that it’s only snowflakes who don’t really know him that wouldn’t be supportive.”

Another added: “Right! It feels very ‘everyone here likes me including the person I made the comment too so you’re all overreacting’.”

Someone else said: “Feels very like ‘oh everyone wanted me to stay and they all love me but I chose to leave for my mental health’.

“I wonder if any of them will mention his departure, to be fair they’ve probably been told not to.”

Others stood up for the sacked star, with one commenting: “Prioritise his wellbeing,” with another saying: “My thoughts are with his wellbeing…”

Last night, a Beeb insider said: “It’s been an incredibly difficult situation for all concerned.

“The BBC are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. But in this day and age, it felt untenable to keep Wynne on the tour.

“It was detracting from what is otherwise a family-friendly show. He had been warned repeatedly about his language, but the inappropriate remarks kept coming.

“And once one was captured on video, there was no going back.

“He is a man of a certain age, and it’s fair to say his puerile remarks — while funny to him and perhaps other men of a certain age — wore thin.”

The source went on: “He made jokes about at least two very graphic sexual positions and said the folds on his chin resembled a vagina.”

The chin comments were reportedly made while he was having his make-up done for the Strictly TV show.

Our source continued: “Ultimately this isn’t acceptable. The BBC have a safeguarding duty for everyone on the tour.

“Wynne has had a tough time of late. And it should be said he remains very popular with celebs and pros on set.

“His brother died recently, and he probably needs time off to reflect.”

The tenor, pictured in Glasgow at the weekend looking downcast, revealed this month that his older brother had died, calling him his “hero and inspiration”.

Execs at Go Compare, the insurance comparison website which Wynne has fronted since 2009, are understood to have held crisis meetings about their star’s future.

The Welsh opera singer, who made his name as moustachioed Gio Compario in the famous ads, is paid around £200,000 a year for his part.

A source added: “His deal with them hangs by a thread. Wynne is so popular with viewers, so it will be a very tough call, but the sense is it is hard to keep him on.”

Go Compare did not respond when The Sun asked for comment last night.

Viewers have taken to social media to ask the BBC why his show with Joanna is still on air. Its first episode was shown 24 hours after the comments scandal broke on Sunday.

There are five more episodes to go.

Representatives of Evans have been strongly advising him to hire a crisis PR expert to help salvage his image.

It comes as Evans split from his girlfriend of almost a year, Liz Brookes, amid the scandal.

After signing up for the BBC1 dance contest he was plunged into “Gropegate”, when he was seen sliding his hands across the stomach of his pro dance partner Katya Jones.

A TV insider said: “Although Liz loyally stood by him in public, she was humiliated by what happened.

“She always knew he was a bit old school, and actually liked the fact he seemed rough round the edges. She just assumed it was part of his charm.

“But Wynne seemed to develop a particularly close relationship with Katya and seems to have got carried away, which many suspected contributed to Gropegate happening.

“Katya was also an enthusiastic defender of him when the scandal broke, taking to social media and TV to say it was actually an ‘inside joke’ between the two of them.

“It was very difficult for Liz but she continued to back him throughout the rest of the contest, often being seen in the audience enthusiastically applauding him, up to him being knocked out in Blackpool Week in November.

“It’s not clear exactly when they split, but friends say when his latest lewd gaffe was revealed at the Strictly Live Tour launch, she was relieved they were no longer together.”

Liz helped him to bounce back from divorcing his wife, with who Evans has two kids. Fitness fanatic Liz, from Cardiff, also helped him to lose weight.

She was in the audience throughout Strictly, often with Evans’s son Tal, and would post on social media about how proud she felt towards her boyfriend.

At the time of Gropegate, it was believed Liz had a good relationship with Katya.

The pro dancer has since unfollowed her on social media.

Wynne’s spokeswoman did not respond last night when asked for a comment on the split.

WANT to spruce up your home but don’t know where to begin?

Interiors expert and former estate agent Laura Rich from the online store Furniturebox has revealed the eight hottest trends – and they could add thousands to the value of your home.

Curves are in when it comes to furniture in 2025[/caption]

From rich and bold colours to sustainable choices, 2025 is all about making a statement.

Be prepared for rich and earthy tones, combining textures and patterns and embracing eco-design that blurs indoors and outdoor living.

RICH, EARTHY COLOURS

Say goodbye to muted tones and hello to sumptuous hues. Colours will be darker and bolder this year.

Think suede browns, deep emerald greens, dusky blues, striking rich burgundies and oxblood reds.

These colours can be used to create focal points in your rooms – whether it’s a feature wall, a statement piece of furniture, or even bold accessories.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match – the bolder, the better!

CURVES ARE IN

Curves were big in 2024 and they’re here to stay as a great way to soften the edges of your interiors.

This trend embraces rounded furniture, arched doorways, and circular décor elements.

Curved sofas, round coffee tables, and even circular mirrors can add a touch of elegance and fluidity to your space.

It’s all about creating a harmonious and inviting environment.

BLURRING INDOOR AND OUTDOOR

Bringing the outdoors in is a trend that continues to gain momentum.

Large windows, indoor plants, and natural materials like wood and stone help create a connection with nature.

Consider adding a cosy outdoor seating area that feels like an extension of your living room, or bringing some outdoor furniture into your conservatory, sun room or kitchen for a relaxed feel.

COLOUR DRENCHING 

Colour drenching was another buzzword that started making waves in 2024.

This is all about committing to a single colour and using it throughout a room.

This monochromatic approach can make a bold statement and create a cohesive look.

Whether you choose a calming shade of blue or a vibrant yellow, drenching your space in one colour can be both dramatic and sophisticated.

BE SUSTAINABLE

Sustainability is not just a trend, it’s a lifestyle choice.

In 2025, there’s a strong focus on eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices.

From recycled furniture to energy-efficient lighting, there are many ways to make your home more sustainable.

Look for pieces made from reclaimed wood, organic fabrics, and low-VOC paints to reduce your environmental footprint.

ROCOCO RENAISSANCE

The Rococo Renaissance is all about opulence and elegance.

This trend features asymmetrical designs, pastel colours, and ornate details.

Think Bridgerton meets Versailles – ruffled throws, floral wallpapers, and vintage-inspired mirrors.

It’s a celebration of all things lavish and feminine, perfect for adding a touch of glamour to your space.

TEXUTURE AND PATTERNS  

Texture and pattern are key to adding depth and interest to your interiors.

From plush velvets and chunky knits to intricate patterns and geometric designs, layering different textures and patterns can transform a space from flat to fabulous.

Consider textured wallpapers, patterned rugs, and tactile cushions to bring this trend to life.

COOL AND COSY GAMING ROOMS

Gaming rooms are getting a stylish upgrade in 2025.

The focus is on creating cool and cosy spaces where you can relax and play.

Think comfortable seating, ambient lighting, and plenty of storage for your gaming gear.

Add personal touches like posters, collectibles, and themed décor to make the space truly your own.
