Edoardo shared a loving tribute to his wife via Instagram: "Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi. We welcomed Baby Athena into our lives last week. She is tiny and absolutely perfect. We are all (including Wolfie and Sienna) already completely besotted with her.

"Our hearts are overflowing with love for you, baby Athena. A massive thank you from my wife and I goes out to all the wonderful staff at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for their exceptional care and support during this incredibly special time."

The name Athena comes from the Greek goddess of wisdom, warfare, and craftwork. Elizabeth is a touching nod to Princess Beatrice’s late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, following in both Prince William and Prince Harry’s footsteps by giving their daughter the name Elizabeth as a middle name.
