Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have announced the name of their first child.
Beatrice and Edoardo welcomed a baby girl on Saturday 18th September and have today announced their little one's full name.
Buckingham Palace revealed the couple have named their daughter Sienna Elizabeth, in a sweet nod to Her Majesty the Queen.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have named their daughter Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi," the announcement read.
"The couple have said, 'We are all doing well and Wolfie is the best big brother to Sienna.'"
Sienna's middle name is thought to be a touching tribute to the Queen, who is Beatrice's grandmother. Sienna isn't the first royal baby to have a name inspired by the monarch, with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter, Lilibet Diana, also taking after her great grandmother.
Beatrice and Edoardo announced the arrival of their baby girl just a couple of days after her birth.
A press release from Buckingham Palace read: "Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter on Saturday 18th September 2021 at 23.42 at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London.
"The baby weighs six pounds and two ounces. The baby's grandparents and great-grandparents have all been informed and are delighted with the news. The family would like to thank all the staff at the hospital for their wonderful care.
"Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well, and the couple are looking forward to introducing their daughter to her big brother, Christopher Woolf."
The pair - who married last year in July - announced they were expecting their first child back in May.
Edo also has a four-year-old son, named Christopher, from a previous relationship.
We're so happy for these two!
