Her Majesty, 95, who is mourning the death of Prince Philip, is said to be "delighted" at her granddaughter's news.

The Queen currently has ten great-grandkids after Princess Eugenie gave birth to son August in February, followed by Zara Tindall's son Lucas in March.

Beatrice's baby will be her 12th - with Meghan Markle due to give birth to her and Prince Harry's daughter in the summer.

She is already a stepmother to Edoardo's four-year-old son Christopher Woolf, known as Wolfie.

A Buckingham Palace statement said today: "Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting a baby in autumn of this year.

"The Queen has been informed and both families are delighted with the news."

The announcement from Buckingham Palace comes on the anniversary of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding in 2018.

Royal expert and author Duncan Larcombe told The Sun the timing was "not a simple oversight".

Meghan famously announced she was expecting baby Archie on the day of Beatrice's sister, Princess Eugenie's, wedding.

According to royal sources, she told the Queen and Prince Philip, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, Princess Eugenie and Jack before the big day on October 12, 2018.

Meghan's declaration was said to have left Eugenie and Sarah Ferguson "furious" and Harry "embarrassed".

The announcement brings the royal family some good news after the devastating death of Prince Philip last month aged 99.

Beatrice was pictured looking sombre at the service for her grandfather.

Her husband, who attended the funeral in Windsor, paid tribute to Philip with two poignant black and white photos of the duke in military uniform.

Beatrice wed Edoardo at a secret union in Windsor in front of just 20 guests due to the Covid pandemic.

They were originally due to say "I do" in front of 150 guests at the Chapel Royal, at St James's Palace, in London.

Beatrice borrowed a dress from The Queen for her special day and added statement sleeves to her grandmother's gown.

The couple met in September 2018 about a month before Princess Eugenie got married on October 12 to Jack Brooksbank.

They announced their engagement on September 26, 2019 - a year after meeting.

Beatrice is the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson and is currently ninth in line to the throne.

She is not a full-time working royal and is instead vice president of partnerships and strategy at Afiniti, an artificial intelligence software firm.
