Princess Beatrice isn't letting her pregnancy slow her down!
Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter, who is expecting her first child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi this fall, stepped out last week for a busy visit to Forget Me Not Children's Hospice. Despite her growing baby bump, Beatrice grabbed a shovel and helped bury a time capsule to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Russell House.
The royal also met with some of the hospice's families, staff and volunteers — including a baby boy who seemed completely charmed by the princess! In a photo shared by the organization, Princess Beatrice and the baby, dressed sharply in a tiny bow tie and overalls, exchange giant grins.

"In the last 10 years, the charity has supported over 800 families — I am simply lost for words as to the difference that this support has made to so many lives," Princess Beatrice, 33, said in a statement.

"When people ask me why I became the patron of this amazing charity, I only have to explain how much of an important part of the community Russell House and the charity has become. And how much of a momentous achievement it is for us to be stood here today celebrating 10 years of supporting that community."

Last week, the busy mom-to-be was spotted out and about in London wearing a name tag with "Beatrice" on it for the Big Change charitable trust. The princess and a group of friends, including Richard Branson's children Holly and Sam, started the organization in 2012 to "find and back pioneers who lead early-stage projects that support young people." Beatrice remains a trustee of the organization.
Princess Beatrice and Edo announced in May 2021 that they were expecting their first child together. The new baby will be the Queen's 12th great-grandchild and the second grandchild for Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.
Princess Beatrice is also a stepmother to Edo's young son from a previous relationship.
"Edo is easily one of the best dads, he is so involved, and Beatrice is already showing that she's a fantastic step-mummy," a source previously told PEOPLE.
