The late Queen had 12 great-grandchildren, including the likes of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. While that is impressive in itself, there are many other youngsters who spend a great deal of time with the Royal Family.
One of these lucky children is Christopher Woolf Mapelli Mozzi (better known by his nickname 'Wolfie').
The six-year-old is Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi's son from his relationship with US-born architect Dara Huang. He is also Princess Beatrice's step-son and has been lovingly referred to as her "bonus son".
Wolfie's mum spoke about her young son on social media and expressed her thoughts on why she is so pleased he is educated in the UK, rather than in her native U.S.

While very little is known about Wolfie, his mother recently expressed her gratitude for her son being educated in the UK, rather than in the US.
Writing on social media, the Florida-born architect said: "I'm glad my son doesn't go to school in the USA. I can sleep at night knowing he won't die at his desk tomorrow morning."
At least 1,500 children were killed in gun-related incidents in the US last year, with more than 600 mass shootings across the states.
She made the comments after returning back to the US for the festive season while her son remained in the UK and spent Christmas with the Royal Family.

Dara continued: "Not to get all political here, but I went to a sports store in the US to buy tennis shoes today and couldn't help but notice this huge gun section – post Xmas sale.
"So I walked up to the man and said, 'What do I need to buy a gun home? Do I need a licence?' And he said, 'No, you can buy one right now and either take it in two days or take a $50 two-hour 'conceal and carry course' and bring it home right now'.
"And I said, 'OK, so no licence needed, medical records, history of felony?' And he said, 'Nope. You can keep it in your car or home, as you see fit.' Literally anybody can buy the most dangerous weapon known to man."
Dara and Edoardo were engaged until 2018 but decided to call off their relationship. Edo started his relationship with his childhood friend Princess Beatrice in the same year and the pair announced their engagement following a trip to Italy in September 2019.
The couple were originally set to marry at St James's Palace in the Chapel Royal but were forced to postpone due to the Covid pandemic. They ultimately married in a private ceremony on July 17, 2020 at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor Great Park. While the ceremony was a scaled back affair, it was revealed that Wolfie served as a page boy and acted as his father's best man during the service.

Wolfie is rarely seen in public and his parents often guard his identity when they post pictures to social media. While this may be the case, the youngster was spotted sitting in the royal box with his dad and stepmother at the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June.
