Sienna, the daughter of Princess Beatrice and property developer Edoardo Mappalimosi, is making headlines with her latest royal accessory.
The two-year-old princess was recently seen in a photograph released on Friday, showcasing a family heirloom – the late Queen Elizabeth II’s diamond tiara.
This precious piece was passed down to Sienna on her birthday, solidifying her place in the royal lineage.
Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mappalimosi, who tied the knot in 2020, are elated parents to Sienna, who will be turning two in September.
The photograph, believed to be taken at Sienna’s christening ceremony last April at the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace, captures a proud father Edoardo in a suit, while Sienna, sporting her mother and grandmother’s iconic red locks, dons the royal christening gown.
Observers note that Sienna’s unmistakable royal heritage shines through, drawing comparisons to Prince Harry’s offspring.
Born on the 18th of September at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Sienna currently holds the tenth position in the line of succession to the throne.
Unlike traditional royal duties, Princess Beatrice focuses on her full-time role at tech firm Affinity, while Edoardo manages his property development and interior design company, Banda Property.
Living away from the public eye, Sienna enjoys a blend of British royalty and Italian nobility in her veins.
Edoardo’s lineage traces back to Italian aristocracy, and Sienna stands to inherit the family’s esteemed Villa Mappoli Mosi Palace in Northern Italy.
This unique heritage bestows upon Sienna the titles of Italian Contessa and Noble Donna, offering her the privileges of both worlds.
Apart from her regal connections, Sienna is set to receive another significant symbol of her heritage – a stunning tiara passed down through generations.
Princess Beatrice recently turned heads at Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Raja Al Hussein’s wedding reception in Amman, Jordan, wearing the exquisite diamond tiara gifted by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip for her own nuptials.
Royal jewellery expert Lauren Kierner describes the tiara as a bespoke Garrard creation, featuring intricate floral and leaf designs.
The tiara, previously worn by Sarah Ferguson, Princess Beatrice’s mother, at her 1986 wedding to Prince Andrew, made a dazzling comeback at the celebration in Jordan.
Paired with a Reem Acra gown adorned with gold beading, Beatrice radiated elegance and grace, honoring her family’s legacy with style and poise.
