Athena’s arrival will place Beatrice’s younger sister, Princess Eugenie, back one place to 12th in line. Eugenie’s children, August (born in February 2021) and Ernest (born in May 2023) will be pushed back to 13th and 14th place respectively.

There’s another little royal in the British line of succession. Princess Beatrice, the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, has welcomed her second baby with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

As well as paying tribute to her late grandmother, Princess Beatrice decided to honour another late royal in her newborn daughter's name.
