She added: "I don't think it will hasten a visit by them to the UK, but perhaps if charity work or business brings Harry this way he'll be keen to meet his new cousin."
"This was lovely news."
"After the brutality of last year for so many of the Royal Family, 2025 is looking altogether brighter.
“It must have been rather alarming to have such a premature and tiny baby.
Baby Athena was born on Wednesday, January 22, just minutes before 1pmPAEdoardo Mapelli Mozzi shared a photo of his new-born daughter one week later after Beatrice gave birth on January 29.
He also revealed that the premature baby was born weighing four pounds and five ounces.
Bond told the Mirror: “I think the hospital has to be commended for keeping the birth completely confidential for a week.
“But all, it seems, is well and the family are obviously delighted.
The two week old royal is the granddaughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, who continue to reside in Royal Lodge.

GettyBond concluded: "I think family has become ever more important for the beleaguered Prince Andrew, and perhaps one of his main roles in life these days is to be a doting grandad.
“And I'm sure that Fergie will be just as besotted as little Athena's parents clearly are.
“I think it's a rather lovely name and it's about time that the Royal Family moved away from strictly traditional names.
“These days everyone seems to be coming up with unusual names – though I'm sure in a month or two there will be Athenas popping up everywhere."
