But Beatrice, 36, told Vogue magazine: “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 my older daughter’s soft bunnies.”;

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s eldest also has daughter Sienna, three, with property developer hubby Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 41.

She is now a patron of Borne, which advises on premature births.

She said: “Looking back over those months of sheer worry, I am filled with a sense of determination that more can be done to help others find answers to those questions around the complications that can lead to preterm birth – questions that defined my days (and nights) during pregnancy.

“I’ve found myself in the position of being a passionate new mother who wants to work to find answers for women globally.

“I want to do all I can to reassure those families whose babies might arrive early that they are not alone.”

Beatrice has now launched a collection of baby shower items with the brand Mrs Alice as a fundraiser for Borne.
