As she graced the pages of British Vogue in her first photoshoot since giving birth to her daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose, a radiant Princess Beatrice looked as beautiful as ever.
Opening up about her daughter's premature birth for the first time, the wife of Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi bravely shared her innermost vulnerable thoughts during that time for a personal essay written for the publication.
"Nothing quite prepares you for the moment when you realise your baby is going to arrive early. There's so little control," she writes. "Will she arrive healthy? Will there be complications? How will you juggle the rest of family life while trying to keep a tiny human safe and well?"

The Princess revealed she is now a royal patron of Borne, a charitable organisation which funds research into ways to lower preterm birth rates.
