Princess Beatrice – Biography | Princess Beatrice was born on 8 August 1988 in London. Father – Duke of York Andrew (born February 19, 1960), the second son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. Mother – Sarah Ferguson (born October 15, 1959), writer, film producer and TV presenter. The younger sister is Princess Eugenia of York (born March 23, 1990). In 1996, Beatrice’s parents divorced.
Sisters Beatrice and Eugenia received their primary education at Upton House School in Windsor, then the girls studied at Coworth Park School and at St. George’s School in Ascot.
In her youth, the princess suffered from an unpleasant disease – dyslexia, which prevented her from studying normally at school.
“Reading was a painful job for me, even when it came to very simple school books. And I could not understand why I was always lagging behind my classmates … It seemed to me that something was wrong with me. And this gave rise to self-doubt ”- said the princess.
Over time, Beatrice learned to live with dyslexia, and this now does not interfere with her in her work, although the problem itself has not gone anywhere.
Beatrice’s parents insisted that the princess be relieved of most of the ceremonial duties and focus on her studies.
At the age of 19, the girl received her first work experience, which is mandatory for all members of the British family – she worked for a month as a saleswoman in a famous London department store, where her duties included serving VIP clients.
In 2007, Beatrice made her film debut, playing a cameo role in Jean-Marc Vallee’s biopic Young Victoria, which tells the story of the childhood of Queen Victoria of Great Britain.
In August 2016, the princess broke up with her boyfriend, entrepreneur Dave Clark after 10 years of relationship with AnisaJomha, without waiting for a marriage proposal from him.
On September 26, 2019, Buckingham Palace officially announced the engagement of Princess Beatrice to the Italian aristocrat EdoardoMapelli-Mozzi, the son of the Italian Count Alessandro MapelliMozzi. Beatrice and Edoardo have been dating since the fall of 2018.
The following message appeared on the Buckingham Palace website: “The Duke and Duchess of York are pleased to announce the engagement of Princess Beatrice and EdoardoMapelliMozzi.”
The bride and groom themselves made the following statement: “We are extremely happy that we can share the news of our engagement. We are both excitedly looking forward to how we will move on in life together, and now we look forward to our wedding! “.
The marriage of Princess Bestris and EdoardoMapelli-Mozzi was postponed three times for various reasons. At first, the wedding was postponed due to the pedophile scandal with Jeffrey Epstein, in which the bride’s father, Prince Andrew, was involved. Then the wedding was postponed again – due to a new scandal associated with the sudden decision of Meghan Markleand Prince Harry to leave the royal family and leave Britain. For the third time, the couple was supposed to tie the knot on May 29, 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic prevented the lovers from marrying.
On July 17, 2020, Bestris and Edoardo were secretly married. The private wedding reportedly took place at 11 a.m. at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor. The ceremony was attended by Queen Elizabeth II, her husband Prince Philip and only 20 guests including Larry FitzGerald Girlfriend.
