The Princess of York was due to give birth in early spring but welcomed the child a week ago, on January 22, at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London.
The oldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York is currently ninth in line to the British throne.
She sits behind members of the Wales family, the Sussexes and her father, Prince Andrew.

The succession to the throne is regulated not only through descent but also by Parliamentary statute.
The order of succession is the sequence of members of the Royal Family in the order in which they stand in line to the throne.
Prince William, the oldest son of King Charles, is the heir to the British throne, and his three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis , succeeded him in order of age.
Following the Wales family, Prince Harry is fifth in line with his two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, following him.

Beatrice gave birth to her first daughter in 2022, Sienna Mapelli Mozzi, who is tenth in line to the throne.
Following the birth of Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, these royals will remain in their respective places.
However, members of the Royal Family who were 11th in line have been displaced a place back.
