The baby, who weighed 6 pounds and 2 ounces
(2.78 kg), was born at London's Chelsea and Westminster Hospital
on Saturday.
Beatrice, the tenth-in-line to the throne and the eldest
daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, married
property developer Mapelli Mozzi in July 2020.
"The new baby’s grandparents and great-grandparents have all
been informed and are delighted with the news. The family would
like to thank all the staff at the hospital for their wonderful
care," the statement said.
"Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well, and the
couple are looking forward to introducing their daughter to her
big brother Christopher Woolf."
The baby is the 12th great-grandchild for Britain's 95-year-old
monarch.
The birth is good news for Beatrice' family, coming on the back
of a slew of negative headlines that have followed a U.S. sex
assault lawsuit against her father Prince Andrew, the queen's
second son.
