Princess BeatriceandEdoardo Mapelli Mozzichose a cause close to their hearts for their first public event sincewelcoming their second daughter.

On Thursday, March 6, the couple attended the Borne Wonderland Gala held at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum. They were all smiles as they posed in formal attire, snapping a few pics with Borne CEO David Badcock and founder Mark Johnson.

It was the first official outing for Princess Beatrice, 36, and Edo, 41, since they announced the birth of their second daughter, Athena, who arrived several weeks before her due date. The event was especially meaningful, as Borne is a medical research charity aimed at preventing premature birth and Princess Beatrice was announced as their patron.

“The work that Borne is undertaking is something that is incredibly close and personal to me following the recent birth of my daughter," Beatrice shared at the event, according toHello!

“Every year in the U.K., 60,000 babies are delivered too soon, with little information or research as to why this is,” she added. “That is why I am really looking forward to supporting Borne and its program of groundbreaking research, which I hope will help thousands of parents and children in the future.”

“A massive thank you from my wife and I goes out to all the wonderful staff at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for their exceptional care and support during this incredibly special time,” Edo continued, adding prayer, heart and angel emojis.
