How princess Beatrice and Eugenie choosing private life for their children

Beatrice and Eugenie, while princesses by birth, choose to bring up their kids in their own unique way, allowing them freedom, as noted by a royal commentator.

Princess Beatrice, aged 37, is the mother of daughters Sienna, aged four, and Athena, one, with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, a property developer.

Princess Eugenie, 35, has two boys, August, four, and Ernest, two, with Jack Brooksbank.

Beatrice also steps into the role of stepmother for Edoardo's nine-year-old son, Christopher Woolf, affectionately called Wolfie, from his prior relationship with architect Dara Huang from the United States.

"The Princess has shown how a so-called blended family works," shares royal analyst Robert Jobson with HELLO!.

"She married Edoardo in July 2020 when his son Wolfie was about four years old. She sincerely remarked that being his stepmother is 'a great honour'."

In a chat with Harper's Bazaar in 2024, Dara spoke openly about co-parenting, stating: "Wolfie has had two sets of parents trying to help him on both sides, and I just think, 'The more, the merrier.'

"I feel lucky to have such positive people around him, who really embrace him – because it didn't have to be so easy."

When Sienna was born in September 2021, they only announced it through a photo of her footprints, choosing not to share images of their daughters' faces publicly to protect their privacy as they grow.

Even though Beatrice and Eugenie have shared some personal stories about raising kids, they make a conscious decision not to involve their children in their public roles.

Neither Edoardo nor Jack received titles from the late Queen Elizabeth II when they married, so their kids bear the titles 'Master' or 'Miss'.

"The royal sisters have both avoided complications for their children by avoiding royal and aristocratic titles," Robert stated.

"Their children are simply August and Ernest Brooksbank and Sienna and Athena Mapelli Mozzi. It means less scrutiny and means they can avoid the burden of being truly public figures."
