The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have shared their joy following the news that Princess Beatrice is pregnant with her first child.
Charles and Camilla's official Twitter account retweeted Beatrice's pregnant announcement, which was originally posted on the Queen's account. They were also one of the first to like the post, which featured a photo of Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on their wedding day back in July 2020.

The baby will be the Queen's 12th great-grandchild following the arrival of Prince Harry and Meghan's daughter this summer.
Beatrice and Edoardo married in July 2020 at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge Windsor. Due to coronavirus restrictions at the time, the private ceremony was attended by the couple's closest friends and family, including the Queen and the late Duke of Edinburgh.
