James Middleton joins in congratulating Royal family after Beatrice's baby announcement

James Middleton has expressed his heartfelt congratulations following the emotional announcement from Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi about the arrival of his daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose. 

The 37-year-old, known for his close bond with the royal family, was quick to show his support with a warm comment on Edoardo’s post, which featured a touching tribute to his newborn daughter.

Her father, Edoardo, posted an image of the royal baby on Instagram with a heart-touching caption. James Middleton, the younger brother of Princess Kate, was one of the first extended members of the Royal Family to comment on the post. 

He wrote: "Congratulations," accompanied by a pink heart emoji.

Buckingham Palace announced earlier today: "Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, born on Wednesday, 22nd January, at 12:57pm.” 

Princess Beatrice and Edoardo already share a three-year-old daughter named Sienna Elizabeth. In addition, Edoardo has an eight-year-old son named Wolfie from his previous relationship with Dara Huang, an American architect.
