For some countries today, the monarchy is a distant past. But there are a number of states where the monarchy has been preserved; they have royal families of noble blood. Britain is one of the most famous monarchies. This country is a fairly large royal family, and now we will meet one of its members. This is Princess Beatrice of York.
Beatrice childhood
Her full name is Princess Beatrice Elizabeth Mary of York. She was born on August 8, 1988 and is the eldest daughter of the Duke of York (this is the second son of Queen Elizabeth II) and the Duchess of York. She has a younger sister - Eugene. The parents of the princess divorced in 1996, when little Beatrice was eight years old. The princess herself is today considered the fifth in line for the inheritance of the throne of the United Kingdom.
The girl received her first education in a private school Upton House (Upton House School). Rumor has it that the princess was not very popular at school with her peers, despite her high descent. The divorce of parents also did not have the best effect on the then-young princess. However, as noted by those who were interested in the life of the princess, she was a modest and polite child, pretty sweet. The girl continued her education and graduated from St. George's School, which is located in Ascot.
The school years of the princess
After school, Princess Beatrice in 2008 entered the Goldsmith College at the University of London. There she studied design and history, graduating from an educational institution in 2011. During training, she worked in the Selfridge department store, where she underwent labor practice mandatory for each member of the royal family. This event happened when the girl was nineteen years old.
During her studies, Beatrice often provided the press with food for conversation through her actions (although it cannot be said that they were immoral, rather funny). Her parents recommended the princess to concentrate on her studies, but the monarch’s children are no different from the others, they also want to “hang out” and have fun. To date, Beatrice often visits London clubs, is at various charity and social events, appears at fashion shows.
The role of the princess in the politics of England
Princess Beatrice is not involved in politics. Only sometimes can it be seen at official ceremonies, where the entire royal family is present. However, the monetary support of the princesses (Beatrice and her sisters Eugenia) comes from the state treasury, as well as the payment of bodyguards. All this causes the indignation of taxpayers, motivating their dissatisfaction with the fact that none of the sisters performs any royal duties (special or official).
The film featuring the British princess Beatrice
In 2009, Princess Beatrice, whose photo can be seen in this article, starred in the film “Young Victoria”. Its producer was the mother of the princess - Sarah Ferguson. Perhaps that is why Beatrice got a role in it. True, episodic. Beatrice played the lady, one of Queen Victoria’s many maids of honor, although she is actually a direct descendant of her.
The princess herself says that she liked the shooting, although there was some discomfort (cold and fatigue). However, the process itself was impressive. Perhaps her roots appear here, as the mother of Princess Sarah is a TV star. Despite the fact that her parents divorced when the girl was only eight years old, Beatrice maintains a rather warm and close relationship with her mother. In many ways, the princess takes an example from her, for example, she also does charity work.
Two sisters - Eugene and Beatrice
It should also be said about the two sisters, who are Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugene. Despite the fact that there is only two years of difference between them, the eldest, Beatrice, is more reasonable and calm, unlike Eugenia. Some paparazzi often compare sisters with their mother, who also liked to have fun before marriage.
Girls sometimes attend official ceremonies together. In 2007, they gave a speech on behalf of their father at a concert that was dedicated to the 46th birthday of Princess Diana. She was remembered by many.
However, Eugene, unlike Beatrice, shocked the British, and not only the public, with completely non-royal antics. For example, after graduation at the university, she had a party with alcoholic drinks and the same “golden” youth. This party has gained scandalous fame, as the princess danced on it naked after drinking a large amount of alcohol.
Eugene has never been shy about her compromising photos from other parties, easily posting them on her pages on social networks. Also, unlike non-smoking Beatrice, Eugene was often seen with a cigarette. Although princesses often appear together at club parties and parties, the elder does not have such a scandalous fame.
Some facts from the personal life of the princess
Princess Beatrice of York, whose personal life is interesting to almost every resident of Britain, has gained fame thanks to some curious events. For example, when the wedding of Prince William and Katherine Middleton was celebrated in April in 2011, the princess attracted attention with an unusual hat. It was made in the form of a large bow, the ribbons of which looked like horns coming down. The creator of the hat was Philip Tracy.
It is noteworthy that despite critical and caustic reviews about her appearance, the princess reacted with humor to this fact. After a while, she decided to sell the famous hat at eBay. During the bidding process, a funny hat was sold for 81, 100 pounds, and the proceeds went to a charity.
In addition to the sometimes extravagant look in clothes, Beatrice until recently had rather magnificent forms, which was also highly discussed among fans of speaking in a strange address. Perhaps for this reason, the princess decided to change. In a short time, she dropped a pretty decent amount of kilograms, and radically changed her wardrobe. For this, she even invited stylist Charlie Anderson, who works with many stars.
