IS PRINCESS BEATRICE EXPECTING?

Speculation l i i is rife if among royal circles that Princess Beatrice is pregnant – and she didn’t do anything to quell the whispers while out on a date with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi last week.

The 32-year-old royal was spotted exiting private member’s club Loulou’s, clad all in black and strategically holding a shawl and bag over her belly.

A source says, “It wouldn’t surprise me if they were expecting. Beatrice has always wanted to be a mum, a need that only grew when her sister [Princess Eugenie] had her son earlier this year.

They’re coming up to their one-year anniversary so it would be the perfect time for a baby announcement.”

Beatrice is already stepmum to the 37-year-old businessman’s son Wolfie, from his relationship with US architect Dara Huang.
