The Baby Girl Will Earn A Title

In British royalty, Princess Eugenie's son didn't get a title, while Princess Beatrice's daughter may have. In a report by Cosmopolitan, royal titles get passed down through the male line, and the elder Princess' husband, Edoardo, is actually an Italian count. That said, the newborn is a mobile donna -- Italian for "noblewoman." However, if the baby was a boy, he would get a title like his father.

Meanwhile, Princess Eugenie's husband, Jack, doesn't have a title, which means their offspring doesn't have either.

Princess Beatrice also gained a new title after her wedding. Apart from being a British princess, she is also known as an Italian countess.
