Princess Beatrice’s children are entitled to a royal title, unlike Princess Eugenie’s, and it’s all thanks to their dad.
Princess Beatrice’s second child will be entitled to a royal title but it will not be a British one.
Buckingham Palace on Tuesday announced that the Princess of York is pregnant with her second child.
The late Queen’s granddaughter, 36, and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 40, are preparing to welcome a new addition to their family early in the new year.
The royal baby will be a little brother or sister for the couple’s three-year-old daughter Sienna, and Mr Mapelli Mozzi’s son and Beatrice’s stepson, eight-year-old Wolfie.
Neither Beatrice nor her sister Princess Eugenie’s children – August and Ernest – are not entitled to British royal titles as they are not grandchildren of the monarch – King Charles is their great-uncle.

But unlike their cousins, the Mapelli Mozzi children have a title of their own and it’s thanks to their father’s side.
Edo – the son of former Olympic skier Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi and Nikki Williams-Ellis – is an Italian count, which means his children also inherit a count or countess title.
His father, Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi, explained back in 2020 before the couple’s wedding: “Edoardo is the only male descendent taking the family into the next generation.”
He told the Daily Mail: “He is a count, his wife will be a countess automatically and any of their children will be counts or nobile donna.”

Beatrice married Edo in a secret lockdown wedding in 2020 attended by her grandparents the late Queen and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, after her planned ceremony was postponed because of the pandemic.
Their new royal baby will be born 11th in line to the throne, with Eugenie moving down to 12th place, and Eugenie’s sons August and Ernest Brooksbank becoming 13th and 14th in line.
He or she will also be the 14th great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II, and the second to be born since her death in 2022, following the arrival of Ernest last year.
