The excitement of a new baby royal arrival has dominated headlines and history, with the announcements offering a glimpse into the birth and joy of the newest member of the monarchy. Among all the royal babies we've joyfully welcomed into the world, Princess Beatrice and her, husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have officially welcomed the smallest royal newborn to date. The royal couple announced the arrival of their daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose, on Wednesday, 29 January, who was prematurely and weighed just 4lbs 5oz.
Over the years, the newborn royals have arrived at various different times and have weighed anything from 4lbs to over 8lbs. In honour of Beatrice's second child, we've taken a look back at some of the smallest royal arrivals and how much they sweetly weighed...
As mentioned, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi's second child together, Athena Elizabeth Rose, is the smallest newborn the Royal Family have welcomed. Weighing just 4lbs 5oz, her father even shared a gushing tribute to his newborn daughter, which highlighted her small frame. In an Instagram, alongside a photo of Athena wrapped in a blanket, he wrote, "Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi. We welcomed baby Athena into our lives last week. She is tiny and absolutely perfect. We (including Wolfie and Sienna) are all already completely besotted with her. Our hearts are overflowing with love for you, baby Athena.".
The newborn is a little sister for the couple's three-year-old daughter Sienna, and Edoardo's son and Beatrice's stepson, eight-year-old Wolfie. The baby, who will not be an HRH, is born 11th in line to the throne, with Beatrice's younger sister Princess Eugenie moving down to 12th place.
