How Princess Beatrice’s Baby Will Be Raised Differently to Other Royals

It’s been four weeks since Princess Beatrice welcomed her second baby on January 22 — and Us Weekly has new insight into her upbringing.

Buckingham Palace announced on January 29 that Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, named their newborn daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi..

The new baby is partially named after her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II. However, royal experts told Us Weekly that Athena’s upbringing is likely to be extremely different to the late monarch’s other descendants.

Hugo Vickers, a royal historian and biographer, told Us: “Athena will just be a member of the family. Otherwise she will have a completely non-royal upbringing.”

How Princess Beatrice’s Baby Girl Shifts Line of Succession

Vickers said Athena’s non-royal status is due to Princess Beatrice being a non-working royal. Though Beatrice is ninth in line to the throne, she lives a private life and does not usually take part in royal engagements on behalf of her uncle King Charles III.

Athena is the younger sister of Sienna, who was born in September 2021, and Christopher Woolf “Wooflie,” born in 2016. (Woolfie was born from Edoardo’s previous relationship with Dara Huang.)

Athena and her siblings will have more privacy than Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton’s eldest children, Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte 9, who “have as normal an education as possible but obviously they do take part in royal engagements,” Vickers said.

Jack Royston, a royal commentator and podcast host, told Us that Beatrice will have the opportunity “to choose how much fame and how much exposure she wants for her children.”

Unlike her sister, Princess Eugenie, who regularly posts photos of her two children on Instagram, Beatrice has so far been selective about what she shares when it comes to her own kids.

Beatrice and Eugenie’s children will, of course, also be known as the grandchildren of Prince Andrew, who celebrated his 65th birthday on Wednesday, February 19.

Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi's Relationship Timeline

Andrew stepped back from royal duties following his bombshell interview with Emily Maitlis for Newsnight in November 2019, where he opened up about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew was accused of sexual assault by a woman named Virginia Guiffre, who alleged that Epstein forced her to have sex with the prince when she was 17. Andrew has vehemently denied the accusations, and in February 2022 he settled Guiffre’s lawsuit for an undisclosed sum.

It was widely reported that Andrew walked his daughter down the aisle when Beatrice married Edoardo in July 2020. However, the prince was noticeably missing from family photos released by the palace.

“The greatest gift that Princess Beatrice can give her children is to offer them choice and control over the kind of life they want to live, whether private or public,” Royston said.

“For Prince George and his siblings, no one can stop them becoming global megastars. Fans will be hoping Prince William’s own childhood armed him with coping strategies that he can pass on,” he added.

Love Is Blind's Nick and Vanessa Lachey Defend Lauren's Pre-Show Hookup

It’s an understatement to say Love Is Blind season 8 star Dave Bettenburg is struggling with fiancée Lauren O’Brien’s past situationship — but does he have a right to be upset?

“I think everyone’s situation is different,” Vanessa Lachey exclusively told Us Weekly during an interview with her cohost and husband, Nick Lachey, when asked if there are rules for how long you should be single before the experiment. “It’s very important to not be seeing someone while you’re on the show — we’ve seen that play out or not play out so well. But there’s no right or wrong.”

David and Lauren left the pods engaged in the first drop of episodes on February 14. In the second installment, released on Friday, February 21, David begins to give Lauren a hard time for hooking up with someone — with whom he has mutual friends — in the months leading up to production.

“When you meet someone for the first time, and if you found out they just got out of a relationship, then you navigate that conflict,” Vanessa continued. “And [we’re] seeing how Lauren and David navigated that conflict, how what was important to him might not have been that important to her, or vice versa.”

Nick acknowledged that David “felt it was gonna be a little awkward running into people that he knew,” but added, “That’s part of life [and] it’s not a specific Love Is Blind issue.”

On the show, Lauren spoke to the Netflix cameras about her situationship.

“Dave was like, ‘Did you date anyone before coming on here?’ I go, ‘I was, like, talking to someone a couple of months ago, but I wouldn’t have said that I dated them,’ but Dave has mutual friends with him,” she explained. “I was giving [Dave] names and he’s like, ‘Oh, I know him. I see him at the pool all the time.’”

While Dave said he didn’t want the situation to affect their relationship after their post-pods trip to Honduras, he struggled to let it go.

“How do you go from seeing someone so recently to like, ‘I’m ready for marriage?’” he asked. “That just seems like a huge step in between. … That’s tough.”

Upon returning to Minneapolis, Minnesota — which the cast has reiterated doesn’t have a large dating pool — Lauren’s friends tried to assure Dave that the pre-show romance wasn’t serious.

“We would’ve hung out with him if they were dating,” one pal argued.

Still, Dave does not appear to let it go, leaving Lauren feeling “helpless” at the end of the episodes.

The first nine episodes of Love Is Blind season 8 are currently streaming on Netflix. The next three episodes drop on Friday, February 28.

BYU players hear explicit chant from Arizona fans after controversial end to men's basketball game

The BYU Cougars topped the Arizona Wildcats on Saturday night in a wild game that featured a controversial call, an incident between players and an explicit chant from the crowd in Tucson.

The Cougars won the game 96-95.

The Wildcats had the ball with under 12 seconds to play. Caleb Love was searching for some heroics and was fouled as he made a shot. But instead of receiving the possibility of completing a three-point play, Love was given only two free throws. He hit them both and put Arizona up 95-94 with a few seconds to play.

BYU moved the ball up the floor quickly. Cougars star Richie Saunders drove the lane and tried to float one toward the basket. He fell trying and a late whistle was heard. Arizona’s Trey Townsend was called for a foul. Saunders made both free throws and BYU won the game.

Players had to be separated as they were in the handshake line after the game. Furthermore, fans of the No. 19-ranked Wildcats were heard changing "f--- the Mormons" as BYU left the floor.

Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd disagreed with the last-second foul call.

"It’s a bad call. I mean like, whatever. What am I going to say? You hate for a game to be decided by that," Lloyd said, via Sports Illustrated. "(Townsend) played good defense. The guy’s pivoting, pivoting, pivoting, throws his shoulder into him, throws up a shot and falls down. It’s a foul with two seconds to go. I mean listen, it’s the Big 12. That’s what I’m told. And the guy who called it is one of the best refs. So we’ve got to live with it."

Arizona officials also issued an apology for the fans’ chant.

"Following tonight’s men’s basketball game, it was brought to our attention that an unacceptable chant occurred," athletic director Desireé Reed-Francois said in a statement.

"On behalf of the University of Arizona Athletic Department, we apologize to BYU, their student-athletes, coaches and fans. The chant is not reflective of who we are and should not have happened."
