Alice announced the collaboration on Instagram, sharing a carousel of three images. The second photo seemed to feature a never-before-seen moment of Athena wrapped in a soft pink blanket beside a plush bunny.
In her caption, she wrote: “It has been both a pleasure & a great honour working with my dear friend Princess Beatrice on our new Baby Shower Collection in aid of @bornecharity.”
Expressing her admiration, she continued: “I’m so proud of the awareness @beayork has brought to Premature Birth & I’m delighted we were able to create this together celebrating both Motherhood & Friendship.”

In her essay for Vogue, Beatrice shared that she “learnt so much” from her pregnancy with Athena, revealing that these thoughts were constantly running through her mind during the final stages.
She went on to explain, “Following routine scans we became aware our precious cargo needed close monitoring, and understood we needed to prepare for an early arrival.” Reflecting on the experience, she described it as deeply humbling.
Thankfully, despite arriving a few weeks early, baby Athena was completely healthy. Beatrice expressed her overwhelming emotions upon meeting her tiny newborn for the first time.
“Athena arrived healthy, a few weeks before her due date,” she wrote. “She was so tiny it took more than a few weeks for the tears of relief to dry and for life with our healthy baby to feel real.
“Her feet were so small – almost the same size as the paws on one of my older daughter’s soft bunnies.”
