Athena Mapelli Mozzi's Christening at the Chapel Royal: A Royal Family Celebration
Princess Beatrice's youngest daughter, Athena Mapelli Mozzi, is set to be christened today at the Chapel Royal in St James's Palace. The private event will be attended by close family members and friends, with no public photographs expected to be released. Among the attendees will be Athena's grandparents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, as well as Princess Eugenie and other senior royals.
The Chapel Royal at St James's Palace has a long history of hosting royal events, including christenings for other members of the royal family like Prince George and Prince Louis. Princess Beatrice herself was christened at the Palace, adding to the significance of the location for Athena's special day. While the guest list includes senior royals, it remains uncertain whether the King and Queen will be in attendance.
Speculation surrounds the potential godparents of Athena, with reports suggesting that Princess Nina of Greece and Denmark, a close friend of Princess Beatrice, may have been chosen as one of the godmothers. Despite these rumors, no official confirmation has been made by Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. The christening marks a significant milestone for the royal family, celebrating the newest addition to Princess Beatrice's family.
