Royal Milestone: Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli-Mosi Baptize Daughter Sienna Elizabeth

Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli-Mosi, fondly known as Edo, quietly celebrated a significant family event this week by christening their seven-month-old daughter, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli-Mosi.

The royal couple, who tied the knot in July 2020, gathered with close family members at Chapel Royal St. James's Palace for an intimate ceremony, as reported by Hello!

Magazine.

While specific details of the christening remain undisclosed, it is believed that Beatrice's sister, Princess Eugenie, and her mother, Sarah Ferguson, were in attendance to mark the occasion.

Initially anticipated to christen Sienna last November, alongside other royal babies, the plans were postponed as Sienna was merely two months old at the time.

Following a family tradition, Beatrice may have chosen to wait a bit longer before the christening, reminiscent of how her mother christened her at four months and her sister Eugenie at nine months old.

Edoardo, who shares a son named Christopher Wolfe with his ex-partner, met Beatrice in 2018, leading to their marriage in 2020.

Last September, Buckingham Palace joyously announced the arrival of baby Sienna, stating that Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli-Mosi welcomed their daughter at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.

Weighing six pounds and two ounces, the new addition to the family brought immense joy to her grandparents and great-grandparents, who were promptly informed of the delightful news.

The palace expressed gratitude towards the hospital staff for their exceptional care and confirmed the well-being of both the royal highness and the newborn, eagerly awaiting the introduction of Sienna to her older brother, Christopher Wolfe.

In recent news, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo embarked on a trip to Stockholm this week to participate in the world's first Dyslexia Conference alongside prominent figures such as Queen Sylvia, Prince Carl Philip, and Princess Sofia.

The conference, organized by the global charity Made by Dyslexia, aims to revolutionize perceptions surrounding dyslexia by uniting influential leaders to support the training of educators and workplaces in empowering individuals with dyslexia.

Beatrice, an ambassador for the charity, shared her personal journey with dyslexia, emphasizing its positive impact on her life and advocating for greater awareness and support for those with learning difficulties.

Reflecting on her experience with dyslexia, Beatrice highlighted the unique perspective and problem-solving skills it has afforded her throughout her career and personal life.

Drawing parallels to Ron Davis' renowned book, The Gift of Dyslexia, Beatrice emphasized the value of embracing challenges and utilizing available resources, such as the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity, of which she is a patron.

Grateful for her condition, Beatrice expressed her belief in the transformative power of dyslexic thinking and the importance of providing additional support to individuals navigating similar challenges.

The trip to Stockholm marked a significant milestone for Beatrice and Edoardo, representing their inaugural official engagement since Edo joined the royal family.

While Edo has been a steadfast presence by Beatrice's side during significant royal events, this trip symbolized their first joint international venture.

Notably, Edoardo's unwavering support for Beatrice was evident during poignant moments, including the recent memorial service for Prince Philip, where the couple stood united amidst emotional tributes to the late Duke of Edinburgh.

The bond between Princess Beatrice and her late grandfather, Prince Philip, has been a cherished aspect of their family history, with the couple's wedding in 2020 holding special significance as the Queen and Prince Philip witnessed the joyous occasion.

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Beatrice and Edoardo's wedding day was a testament to resilience and love, captured in heartfelt images that encapsulated the familial warmth and unity shared among generations.

As they continue to navigate royal duties and personal milestones, Beatrice and Edoardo exemplify a blend of tradition, modernity, and enduring familial bonds that define their royal journey.
