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.'

'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.'
