Earlier this month, Buckingham Palace announced that Princess Beatrice is pregnant with her second child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. In a new interview with the Financial Times, Mapelli Mozzi opened up about how he balances his commitments at work and at home.

Princess Beatrice and Mapelli Mozzi welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Sienna Elizabeth, in 2021. Beatrice is a stepmom to Christopher Woolf, also known as Wolfie, whom Mapelli Mozzi welcomed with his ex Dará Huang.

Speaking to the Financial Times, Mapelli Mozzi shared that he's "always on a train" due to his property business. Princess Beatrice's husband also travels to "antiques-sourcing trips and auctions in Belgium, France and Italy," per Hello! magazine. As a result, Mapelli Mozzi is incredibly busy, and it sounds as though he is rarely at home with pregnant wife Beatrice or their daughter Sienna.
