The 36-year-old princess, the late Queen’s granddaughter, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 40, are expected to welcome their new baby in early spring.
The couple have a three-year-old daughter named Sienna and Mr Maplli Mozzi has an eight-year-old son named Wolfie.

The King has been informed and Buckingham Palace said both families were “delighted”.
The palace shared two new pictures from the family.
One shows Princess Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi embracing each other while the other shows Mr Mapelli Mozzi walking along a country lane hand-in-hand with Sienna and Wolfie.
In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “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, aged eight, and Sienna, aged three.
It comes after a tough year for the Royal Family, which has seen the King, the Princess of Wales and Beatrice’s mother, Sarah, Duchess of York, diagnosed with cancer.
Sarah was diagnosed with skin cancer in January – six months after being treated for breast cancer, but in May Princess Beatrice said her mother had received the “all clear”.
