Princess Beatrice will celebrate her 37th birthday on Friday, and this one is set to be extra special for her.
Earlier this year, the royal and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, welcomed their second child together.
Baby Athena Elizabeth Rose was born prematurely on 22 January, with Edoardo sharing the first photo of his "tiny and absolutely perfect" daughter on Instagram.
The couple's eldest daughter, Sienna, was born in September 2021, while property developer Edoardo also has a nine-year-old son, Wolfie, from his previous relationship with Dara Huang.
This year marks Beatrice's first birthday as a mother-of-two, and it comes just days after baby Athena made her public debut.

Beatrice and Edoardo have also refrained from sharing any images of their daughters' faces in order to maintain their privacy.
Motherhood journey
Athena was born several weeks early, and Beatrice penned an emotive essay for British Vogue, opening up about her pregnancy, saying she endured "months of sheer worry".
The Princess said her daughter was "so tiny it took more than a few weeks for the tears of relief to dry".

"The uncertainty leaves you with an overwhelming fear of the unknown."

Eugenie, who has a public Instagram account, often shares personal snaps, including from the princesses' childhood, their private holidays and public events they've attended together.

She added: "I posted about our mothering journey, because it really is like you become part of a club - a mothering club. And when your children are the same age and they're going through the same things, it's just the luckiest thing in the world… And Bea's my big sister, I talk to her about everything."
