The statement misidentified the princess as “Her Royal Highess,” omitting the “N.” This was quickly corrected in a follow-up announcement.
Based on a screenshot provided by Hello!, the original X announcement read, “Her Royal Highess Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child together early in the new year; a sibling for Wolfie and Sienna.”
Before posting, did they not read what they wrote? That’s a ‘Highess?'” someone commented on the first post prior to its removal, as reported by The Daily Mail.
Beatrice, the Duchess of York and daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, married property developer Mapelli Mozzi in 2020; the couple has a 3-year-old daughter named Sienna. She is also the stepmother of Mapelli Mozzi’s son from a previous relationship, 8-year-old Christopher Woolf, also known as Wolfie.
The princess’s joyous news comes amidst challenges in her personal life, including her mother’s struggle with skin cancer this year (this is her second cancer diagnosis after undergoing treatment for breast cancer last year) and claims of sex abuse against her father, Prince Andrew.
