In a statement, the palace said: "The Queen has been informed and both families are delighted with the news."
The princess, the elder daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York, married property tycoon Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in a private ceremony last July.
They had previously postponed the ceremony due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The baby will be the Queen's 12th great-grandchild, following the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's second child, due in the summer.
Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting a baby in autumn of this year.
