The news brings some happiness for the British royal family who are mourning the loss of Prince Philip, who died last month.
The Palace said: “The Queen has been informed and both families are delighted with the news.”
Beatrice (32) and Mr Mapelli Mozzi wed last July in a secret lockdown wedding after their planned ceremony was postponed because of the pandemic.
The baby will be the Queen’s 12th great-grandchild following the arrival of the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s second child in the summer.
