Who is Wolfie? Princess Beatrice's 'bonus child'

Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and his ex-fiancée Dara Huang share custody of their son now seven-year-old son, 'Wolfie'. According to a source, the family arrangement was 'really happy'.

You probably guessed it but Wolfie is not the child's full name. It is Christopher Woolf Mapelli Mozzi and since joining the royal fold, the child has been seen only at a handful of events. Indeed, it is reported that his parents are very protective of his privacy.

However, as the Christmas season was at an all time high, Wolfie made an appearance at the Princess of Wales' Westminster Abbey Carol concert.

Princess Beatrice marries Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi

At the beginning of their relationship, speculation reported by Mail Online claimed that Mapelli Mozzi split from his fiancée, and the mother of his then two-year-old son, Huang,to be with Princess Beatrice.

Huang hasn't spoken publicly about Mapelli Mozzi or their split. But her family have questioned why the Princess became entangled with Mapelli Mozzi, stating that he and Huang had no reason to split up.

Huang's father said:

Why would they want to go and break this up? It's unfair, but the royal family are so powerful.

However, a palace aide stated:

She [Princess Beatrice] would never allow herself to break into another couple’s happiness, especially if there is a small child involved.

Princess Beatrice and Mapelli Mozzi tied the knot on 17th July 2020 in a private ceremony surrounded by close friends and family. Mapelli Mozzi's sonwas a page boy and his father's best man.

Being a step-parent in the Royal Family

When Princess Beatrice married she became the first step-parent of her generation within the Royal Family and with her 'bonus child' she was a mum before giving birth to her own daughter Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, on 18th September 2021. With this step, Princess Beatrice really highlighted that her generation of royals bring modernity. This also is a huge sign of relatability from the Princess as many families now follow the same pattern.

In an interview with Hello! she dubbed 'Wolfie' her 'bonus' son, a sweet nickname which shows the relationship she has with him.

A source close to the Princess claimed she is a 'fantastic step mummy' adding that:

There is no better person they could have for a step-mummy.

In 2021, the Princess revealed that reading and home-schooling Christopher was one of her biggest joys during the lockdown.

Who is Christopher 'Wolfie'?

Wolfie's parents are generally very protective of his identity, sharing only snippets of his life on social media. Being Princess Beatrice's stepson, he spends much time with the Royal Family but is rarely seen in public. His first official appearance with the Royal Family was at the Queen's Jubilee celebrations in June 2022.

However, Huang sometimes takes to Instagram to give some insight into Wolfie's creative streak and personality. In a series of videos shared in June 2022 she showcased Wolfie's painting and drawing skills. She dubbed the budding artist a 'Baby Picasso'. Huang surveyed her followers to know if they would buy Wolfie's creations for charity, and over 80% of respondents said yes.

Wolfie is also believed to be a talented photographer. Huang captioned one of her holiday snaps on Instagram, claiming her son to be 'the best photographer'.
