Princess Beatrice has announced she's named her baby daughter Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi.
The Queen's granddaughter gave birth to her first child, weighing 6lb 2oz, just before midnight on Saturday, September 18 at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.
She's chosen to give the Queen a touching nod with her name choice and she revealed the stunning name on Twitter today along with a lovely picture featuring a footprint from the new baby.

Beatrice, 33, is also stepmother to Mr Mapelli Mozzi's young son Wolfie, from his previous relationship with ex-fiancee Dara Huang.
In a tweet from her official Twitter account, Beatrice said she was 'delighted' to 'share the news of the safe arrival' of the couple's daughter.
She added:
'Thank you to the midwife team and everyone at the hospital for their wonderful care.'
It came after Buckingham Palace made the birth announcement in a statement, saying:
'The new baby's grandparents and great-grandparents have all been informed and are delighted with the news.
'The family would like to thank all the staff at the hospital for their wonderful care.
'Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well, and the couple are looking forward to introducing their daughter to her big brother Christopher Woolf.'

The baby is 11th in line to the throne and is the Queen's 12th great-grandchild, and the second to be born since the Duke of Edinburgh's death, following the arrival of the Sussexes' daughter Lilibet in June.
Sienna Elizabeth will go without a royal title, however, but will actually have a title - and it is all down to Edoardo, who is actually an Italian count.
This means any of his children will also inherit a count or countess title, according to the Daily Mail.
The princess and millionaire property tycoon Mr Mapelli Mozzi married in July 2020 in a secret lockdown wedding, attended by the Queen and Prince Philip after their planned ceremony was postponed because of the pandemic.
Beatrice's younger sister Princess Eugenie, to whom she is very close, had a baby boy, August, in February.
Beatrice, who is not a full-time working royal, is vice president of partnerships and strategy at Afiniti, an artificial intelligence software firm.
