Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi share rare glimpse of their blended family as they take Wolfie, Sienna and baby Athena to Lionesses' victory parade
Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have shared a rare glimpse of their blended family as the royal couple joined Lionesses fans at their Euros victory parade in London today. The King's niece, 36, and Edoardo made their way to The Mall to watch the European champions lift their hard-earned trophy as a 65,000-strong crowd cheered for the squad. The Lionesses waved at onlookers from atop a bus as it travelled down the thoroughfare - with the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson also joining in the celebrations. The royal looked lovingly at her baby daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose, who was safely fastened to her father's chest. Beatrice gave birth to her and Edoardo's second daughter on January 22, with the couple shielding their newborn - dressed in an adorable, baby pink onesie - from cameras. Edoardo and Beatrice's older daughter, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, three, however, appeared unfazed by the large gathering as she waved England's flag while enjoying a sweet treat during her most public appearance yet. In one sweet moment, Beatrice was seen leaning over to talk to Wolfie, Edoardo's eight-year-old son with his former fiancee, architect Dara Huang. Beatrice often refers to Wolfie as her 'bonus child' who is frequently seen at royal events and family gatherings, including Christmas celebrations at Sandringham and the Princess of Wales's 2024 carol concert. The family was casually dressed as Princess Beatrice went makeup-free for the victory parade after Sarina Wiegman's side thumped Spain 3-1 on penalties in the nail-biting final on Sunday, July 27. Beatrice pulled her hair back into a messy bun and dressed for cooler weather in London today as she paired a cream sweater with a blue, floral print maxi skirt from Farm Rio. Sienna was matching with her baby sister, as the toddler was dressed in a pink t-shirt - with an adorable bow clipped to her blonde hair. Prior to today's appearance, Sienna's family has only shown the back of her head in public posts and birthday announcements. However, a friend of Beatrice told Tatler earlier this year: 'Sienna is absolutely gorgeous and looks exactly like Bea. She's really cheeky and has a very good personality.' Buckingham Palace announced Princess Beatrice and Edoardo - who tied the knot in 2020 - welcomed Athena Rose on January 22. The newborn is 11th in line to the British throne, pushing her aunt Princess Eugenie down to 12th place. The family's trip to The Mall to celebrate the Lionesses victory comes after Beatrice's cousin, Prince William and his daughter Charlotte travelled to Basel, Switzerland, to watch the dramatic Euros final last week. The team roared to a 3-1 victory in a thrilling penalty shootout that saw them triumph over Spain and retain their title as the European champions following their 2022 win. Sweet images of the young princess with her father show them doing almost exactly identical expressions of shock as the tense match unfolded. The royal was also given a winners medal to keep after the presentation ceremony - which she was seen holding on to reverently. Princess Beatrice's most recent appearance comes after she and Edoardo marked their fifth wedding anniversary. The British property developer, 41, paid tribute to Beatrice as an 'incredible partner, the most beautiful and amazing wife' in a gushing Instagram post on July 17 - five years after the couple said 'I do' in a private Windsor ceremony. He shared a snap of the couple posing together on a beach in Scotland, which he accompanied with the sweet caption. It read: 'Happy 5th Anniversary to my incredible partner, the most beautiful and amazing wife. I cherish every moment we've spent together and am deeply grateful for our journey. Here's to countless more years filled with laughter and tons of love!' The Lionesses have enjoyed a heroes' welcome after they emerged victorious over the Spanish side in a dramatic finale to the Euros tournament. Thousands of fans joined in the victory celebrations as they cruised through The Mall on board a bus emblazoned with the slogan '2022 and 2025 European Champions' just after noon today. Rapid preparations had been made for the ceremony after Sarina Wiegman's team thumped Spain 3-1 on penalties following a tense and drawn-out 120 minutes of stalemate football in Basel, Switzerland on Sunday. The Lionesses turned out in t-shirts that read 'HOME', with the 'H' stylised as a pair of letter 'I's in recognition of their two European titles on the trot, and red scarves bearing the Three Lions and the word 'CHAMPIONS'. Kerry Davis - the first Black women's footballer to play for England - then brought out the Euro 2025 trophy alongside Jane Oboavwoduo, a 14-year-old forward in the England Under-17s, before the team hoisted it aloft in a flurry of red smoke to the cheers of thousands. A tearful Leah Williamson told the crowds it had been like a 'fairytale', adding: 'I've been crying all the way down the Mall. It's unbelievable. It's one of the best things we've ever been a part of.' She continued: 'There's lots of ways to win a football match and we repeatedly did it the hard way. You can see how much we care about playing for England. How much we love it.'

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE husband of YouTuber and animal rescue enthusiast Mikayla Raines struggled to hold back tears as he shared a montage of unseen moments featuring his late wife. Mikayla, the founder of SaveFox Rescue, died by suicide last month at the age of 29. 4 Mikayla Raines husband, Ethan, thanked fans for their well-wishes following his wife's death Credit: Instagram 4 Mikayla, 29, died by suicide Credit: Instagram She died in Faribault, Minnesota, on June 20 and left behind devastated husband Ethan, and their daughter, Freya. In a YouTube video uploaded July 27, Ethan thanked fans for their support in what he described as the 'hardest time' for everyone at the animal rescue organization. The video was also shared on the SaveaFox Rescue Instagram page, with the caption describing Mikayla as someone who was "purely glowing and one in a trillion." "I hope you can enjoy seeing Mikayla in some of these candid clips. She truly was a radiant positive energy," her family's post said. "A pure glowing individual; one in a trillion. A piece of me that I'll never get back." Ethan's voice cracked and he struggled to hold back tears as he thanked people for their letters and flowers following Mikayla's death. 'I know that you all saw her as a hero to the animals but she was a lot more than that,' he said. 'She wasn't just an animal rescuer, she was an advocate and an educator and a daughter and a sister and a mother - a mother not just to Freya but she was a surrogate as well. 'She was an artist and she was a really great singer and she was a lot of things that most people didn't get to see.' Through tears, Ethan said the memorial montage was 'hard to watch,' but said it's worth watching. YouTube fox rescue star Mikayla Raines dies by suicide aged 29 as tearful husband Ethan blasts online bullying campaign In the 20-minute montage, Mikayla was seen stroking tortoises and beaming at home. The clip featured snapshots from Christmas celebrations and days at the theme park. In one clip, Mikayla was seen balancing on the back of the horse with her arms raised as it galloped in an open field. The montage also featured tender moments Mikayla spent with her daughter in the park and gym. Footage captured Mikayla feeding animals and cuddling foxes. Ethan said he will never recover from Mikayla's death. 'But, I'm so glad we all were gifted these many years with her,' he wrote online. Ethan previously spoke about how he felt broken after his wife's death. He compared it to a loss that was 'unimaginable' and described Mikayla as 'the most amazing and inspiring individual.' She was an artist and she was a really great singer and she was a lot of things that most people didn't get to see Mikayla Raines' husband Ethan spent 15 minutes trying to revive Mikayla before paramedics arrived on the scene. He said Freya was left 'heartbroken' by her mom's death. Ethan recalled how his wife had been subject to internet trolls before her death and spoke about the impact it had. "[Mikayla] felt as if the entire world had turned against her,' he said. Mikayla's passion for wildlife stemmed from a young age. On her website, she revealed her mother was a rehabilitator, and she raised her first baby fox at 15. She studied in a veterinary technician program while at college. A local media report from 2016 described Mikayla as a "fox whisperer." "I think I can kind of relate to them: They're shy in crowds, it takes them awhile to get used to strangers,' she told The St. Paul Pioneer Press. But, she founded the SaveaFox rescue center in 2017 and revealed that the organization had saved around 150 foxes from death. The SaveaFox YouTube page has almost 2.5 million subscribers. 4 A tender moment captured Mikayla stroking a fox while another was on her shoulders Credit: YouTube 4 She was an avid wildlife enthusiast Credit: Instagram / @saveafox_rescue If you or someone you know is affected by any of the issues raised in this story, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988, chat on or text Crisis Text Line at 741741.
