Royal fans have been left delighted this week after new rare photographs were shared of Princess Beatrice’s daughter Sienna Mapelli Mozzi.

The Royal Family posted a photograph of the three-year-old holding the hands of her stepbrother Wolfie and her dad Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on the Palace’s official social media account as they confirmed Princess Beatrice is expecting her second child next year.

The announcement on Tuesday sent royal fans into a frenzy, with thousands flocking to send their well wishes.

Eagle-eyed fans were also quick to appreciate the new family photographs, also shared by Princess Beatrice’s mum Sarah Ferguson, with one factor standing out the most.

On X, a number of tweets were made about the little girl’s white blonde hair, with many saying she resembles her mum Princess Beatrice when she was younger.

One fan wrote: “Sienna is just like Beatrice was when young, so blonde.”

Another said: “Lovely news! Congratulations to all of you! Also, how blonde is Sienna’s hair? I thought she’d have a smidge of red in there but no… white blonde!!) gorgeous!”

A third post read: “Love how Wolfie is holding his little sister’s hand. And Sienna has such beautiful blonde hair! I love it.”

The announcement on Tuesday confirmed the baby was due early next Spring. Both families are “delighted” with the news.

Beatrice’s sister Princess Eugenie also shared her joy on Instagram after the announcement was made public.

She wrote: “Congratulations Beabea.. So looking forward to more on this journey of motherhood together. And adding another little one to the gang.

“I couldn’t find a single group shot of us, so this one from Christmas 2022 will have to do.”

The baby will be the fourth grandchild of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, who both live at Royal Lodge together in Windsor.
