Overview
- Flora Vesterberg gave birth to daughter Isabel Marina on Wednesday, July 8, and the couple shared the news in an Instagram post on July 11 after a short private recovery period.
- Flora said the name honours her paternal great‑grandmother Princess Marina and means 'of the sea', reflecting the family's connections to Scotland and Sweden.
- Media reports place Isabel behind her mother in the order of succession at about 62nd, making her Princess Alexandra's first great‑grandchild in the extended royal line.
- The parents are 31‑year‑old Flora, an art historian and PhD student at The Courtauld who has publicly written about an autism diagnosis, and her husband Timothy Vesterberg, a Swedish former ice‑hockey player now working in private equity in London.
- The couple's private 2020 wedding at St James's Palace and the Instagram announcement rather than a palace statement highlight how lower‑profile royals increasingly use social media to share personal milestones.
