Princess Beatrice’s daughter was spotted this week taking part in a royal tradition alongside her grandad Prince Andrew.
Sienna Mapelli Mozzi, the daughter of Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, went out on a morning horse ride in Windsor on Tuesday with the prince, 64.
As temperatures plummeted to near zero across the country, the young royal could be seen wrapped up warmly as she was guided around a paddock on her pony not far from Royal Lodge, where the duke still lives.
Although she is only three-years-old, learning to ride horses at a young age is not unusual for the Royal Family, with Queen Elizabeth II having been a huge fan of horses herself.
Sienna’s grandmother Sarah, the Duchess of York, also learned horse riding from an early age according to GB News.
The sighting of Sienna is one of very few over recent years, with Princess Beatrice opting to keep her young daughter out of the spotlight.
This is because her daughter does not have a royal title as a result of Edoardo not being granted one after his marriage to Beatrice in 2020.
While Sienna is rarely seen in public, this is not the case for the princess’ stepson Wolfie, 8, who has accompanied Beatrice, 36, and his dad Edoardo, 41, to a handful of royal events, including Princess Kate’s Together At Christmas carol service last year.
At the event, he could be seen holding onto the hands of both Beatrice and his dad as he walked into Westminster Abbey. It has not been confirmed whether he will be attending the carol service this year.
The sighting of Sienna comes just months before she is set to become a big sister.
In October, it was announced by Buckingham Palace that Beatrice is expecting her second child, with the baby believed to be due in early spring. The child will not have an official royal title.
A statement from the Palace confirming the baby news read: “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child together in early spring; a sibling for Wolfie and Sienna.
“His Majesty The King has been informed and both families are delighted with the news.”
