Thank you to the Midwife team and everyone at the hospital for their wonderful care.
The baby is now the 11th in line to the throne and is Queen Elizabeth’s 12th great-grandchild.
The Royal Family said in a statement announcing the baby’s birth: “... the couple are looking forward to inducing their daughter to her big brother Christopher Woolf.”
The baby is the first child for the couple. Mozzi’s also a father to Woolf, a son he had from a previous relationship, USA Today reported.
Princess Beatrice married Mozzi in a private ceremony last year, BBC News reported.
