Princess Beatrice’s Daughter Sienna: A Royal Mini-Me in the Making
Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mappelli Mozzi, have been keeping their daughter, Sienna, away from the public eye since her birth in 2021.
Unlike Beatrice and her sister, Princess Eugenie, who were often photographed as children, Sienna has had her face mostly hidden from the cameras.
However, in a recent exclusive interview with Hello!, close family friend Gabriela Peacock shared some delightful insights about the three-year-old.
Gabriela affectionately referred to Sienna as “Cece,” highlighting her beauty and charm.
“She's so gorgeous, so sweet,” Gabriela exclaimed, adding that Sienna is strikingly blonde and embodies a very girly demeanor.
It's heartwarming to hear that Sienna and her cousin Wolfie are both well-behaved and polite, traits that surely reflect their upbringing.
Interestingly, Sienna's fair hair has raised eyebrows, considering her mother's red locks and her father's dark hair.
Yet, an old photo of Princess Beatrice at a similar age reveals that she also sported pale blonde hair, suggesting that Sienna's looks might not be so surprising after all.
It remains to be seen whether Sienna will keep her blonde tresses or transition to auburn like her mother, who is currently expecting another child.
Gabriela has taken an active role in Sienna's life, especially now that both she and Beatrice have moved to the countryside.
This change has made it easier for them to spend time together.
“Bee spends a lot of time in the countryside now too, and she's only a short drive away,” Gabriela noted, expressing excitement about their growing families becoming friends.
In addition to sharing her thoughts on Sienna, Gabriela shed light on Beatrice's parenting style.
She described her friend as someone who prioritizes her children effortlessly.
“She's incredible with Sienna and Wolfie,” Gabriela remarked, praising Beatrice's ability to maintain a healthy work-life balance while being hands-on with her kids.
On the other hand, Sienna's father, Edoardo, has his hands full with a busy career.
He recently spoke to the Financial Times about his hectic schedule, which often takes him away from home for design projects and antique sourcing trips across Europe.
Despite his commitments, he emphasizes the importance of providing a stable environment for his family, a priority stemming from his own childhood experiences.
Edoardo believes that the design of their home plays a significant role in their emotional well-being.
“Design is important to your emotional state,” he stated, underlining how vital it is to create a nurturing space for their family.
Meanwhile, the royal family faces some challenges regarding inheritance.
Princess Beatrice and Eugenie are reportedly facing a tough situation as their father, Prince Andrew, has had his security details cut by King Charles, leading to uncertainty over their potential inheritance of Royal Lodge.
The Duke of York, who has lived there since 2003, may now have to vacate the property due to these changes.
With the king's decision taking effect soon, the future of Royal Lodge appears bleak for the York princesses.
Although Andrew had hoped to leave the property to Beatrice and Eugenie, the reality of the situation is forcing them to reconsider their expectations.
In other royal news, Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Prince Andrew, has joined TikTok, seeking to connect with a younger audience.
After consulting with her daughters about the platform, Fergie's first post reflected on her breast cancer journey, aiming to resonate with the next generation.
While the Duchess of York embraces social media, it's worth noting that the rest of the royal family remains cautious.
King Charles and other senior royals have avoided TikTok, adhering to government advice regarding security concerns.
Lastly, Princess Eugenie has stepped in to support her cousin Prince Harry, who has recently purchased a holiday home in Portugal.
With Eugenie living nearby, it seems the family ties are being reinforced, providing a sense of solidarity amid the ongoing challenges faced by the Sussexes.
