Princess Beatrice, who is ninth in line to the British throne, has welcomed her second child with her husband, millionaire property tycoon Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

Athena Elizabeth, who is believed to have been named after the late Queen Elizabeth II, is now 11th in the line of succession to the British throne.

Princess Beatrice's daughter's name is a sweet nod to Queen Elizabeth II - and upholds a long-standing family tradition. Baby Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi was born on Wednesday, just minutes before 1pm at London's Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
