14th great-grandchild of Elizabeth II
Princess Beatrice, granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, is the daughter of Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson. Niece of King Charles III, she is 9th in the order of succession to the British throne, after her father (8th); his cousins, Princes William (1st) and Archie (5th) and their children, George (2nd); Charlotte (3rd); Louis (4th); Archie (6th) and Lilibet (7th).
The couple’s unborn baby will be ranked 12th in the line of succession to the British throne after his mother, Princess Beatrice and her sister, Sienna (11th) and will therefore have very little chance of ascending to the crown a day.
Queen Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, had four children: King Charles III; Princess Anne; Andrew, Duke of York; Edward, Duke of Edinburgh. They also had eight grandchildren, including William and Harry.
Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi’s baby will be Queen Elizabeth II’s 14th great-grandchild. Died in September 2022, during her lifetime she never met Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, her 13th great-grandchild, who is the 2nd son of Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank.
