Royal expert speculates that Prince Harry may travel to the UK to meet his new cousin Athena
In a turn of events that has left royal watchers intrigued Prince Harry could soon make his way to the UK to meet his cousin Princess Beatrice’s second daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, born on January 22, 2025. While it remains uncertain whether Harry will actually visit, royal expert Jennie Bond suggests that if charity work or business brings him to the UK, he may take the opportunity to meet the newborn.
Princess Beatrice, the daughter of Prince Andrew, and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, recently welcomed their second child, a sister for their son, Christopher Woolf (Wolfie). Following the birth, Bond speculated that Beatrice had likely shared some adorable photos of little Athena with Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. However, Bond pointed out that a visit solely for the purpose of meeting the baby is unlikely, as Harry and Meghan have remained distant from much of the royal family’s traditional engagements.

Despite the distance between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family, Bond acknowledged that Prince Harry, who has been working on various charitable endeavours, might take advantage of an upcoming trip to meet his growing family. Harry has made it clear that his focus remains on philanthropy and personal growth, but with family ties being as important as ever, the chance to meet Athena may be a welcome opportunity.
For now, the speculation surrounding Harry’s potential UK trip continues to spark interest, with fans hoping for any glimpse into the private lives of the royals. Should Harry make the journey, it could provide a rare moment of interaction between him and his cousins, after years of living outside of royal expectations.
