**Princess Beatrice Expected to Honor Queen with Baby Name Choice**
Princess Beatrice is anticipated to pay tribute to her grandmother, the Queen, by naming her baby girl after her.
Bookmakers have placed Elizabeth as the frontrunner for the name of Beatrice and Edoardo Moppelli Mozzi's first child at odds of 5-1.
The royal couple welcomed their daughter on Saturday, who now stands as the 11th in line to the throne and the Queen's 12th great-grandchild.
Rupert Adams, a spokesperson for William Hill, noted a significant shift in favor of the name Elizabeth, stating that it has become a top choice over the past 24 hours.
The potential selection of Elizabeth as the baby's name would serve as a heartfelt gesture towards Beatrice's grandmother, the Queen, and is likely to bring joy to royal enthusiasts.
Notably, Elizabeth is already among Beatrice's middle names.
Speculation among social media users suggests a mix of names that could potentially be chosen, with some predicting the inclusion of Sarah, after Beatrice's mother, the Duchess of York.
In a contrasting move earlier this year, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry named their daughter Lilibet, a childhood nickname of the Queen.
However, a royal expert revealed that the monarch was not asked but informed about the name choice.
The debate surrounding this decision sparked controversy, with conflicting reports on whether the Queen was consulted or simply informed about the name.
Ladbrokes currently places Elizabeth at 7-1 odds for Beatrice's royal baby, with Arabella leading as the favorite at 3-1, followed by Matilda at 4-1 and Florence at 9-1-2.
The betting patterns suggest a preference for an Italian-inspired name for the newborn.
The announcement of Beatrice's daughter's birth was made by Buckingham Palace, confirming the joyous arrival and the well-being of both mother and child.
Princess Beatrice, who recently became a stepmother to her husband's son Wolfie, is now embracing the role of a mother herself.
Her sister, Princess Eugenie, welcomed a baby boy earlier this year, bringing the cousins close in age and allowing the sisters to share the joys of motherhood together.
Beatrice and Mr. Moppelli-Mozzi, who exchanged vows in a private ceremony during the lockdown last year, are now relishing the moments with their newborn daughter, surrounded by the love and support of their family.
