Splash News Online Keeping it casual, her Italian property developer husband wore a blue sweater over a button down and jeans as he walked by his wife's side. Edo will become a father for the second time later this year, as he has a young son from a previous relationship: Christopher Woolf, known as "Wolfie." Beatrice and Edo's July 2020 wedding (where Wolfie played the all-important role of pageboy!) marked the first time since Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall married Prince Charles in 2005 that a member of the British royal family stepped into the position of stepmother. Beatrice, 32, is the first of her generation — and first grandchild of the monarch — to do so. Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

In March, the princess called the special role a "great honor," revealing she and Woolfie spent quality time together during the pandemic reading books. "This year, I had the great honor to become a stepmother, and have had the most remarkable time going back over some of my most favorite stories at bedtime," she told the Evening Standard. "Together, we had such a special time reading through all the entries for Oscars Book Prize 2020." In another kind of books, bookies in the U.K. immediately began betting on baby name predictions following Princess Beatrice's pregnancy announcement Wednesday. Florence and Theodore are currently frontrunners when it comes to betting odds, with Ladbrokes setting the odds at 4/1 and 9/2, respectively. The new baby will be Queen Elizabeth's 12th great-grandchild once Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's baby girl arrives in the coming weeks.
