Princess Beatrice of York maintains a low profile, without a public social media presence.
A PR expert has suggested that King Charles would be unconcerned about Princess Beatrice assuming a more prominent role in supporting the Royal Family.
This year, the Royal Family has faced a shortage of active members, as both the King and the Princess of Wales are dealing with cancer, which has limited their public engagements. Princess Anne’s brief hospitalisation in June has also led her to reduce her typically busy schedule.
With Prince Andrew, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle no longer serving as senior members, many observers have proposed that the Duke of York’s daughters could step in to assist King Charles. Recently, 35-year-old Beatrice has been more visible, attending events such as Wimbledon and visiting a school independently to promote the importance of skin protection.
Rochelle White, Founder and Creative Director of Rochelle White Communications, discussed Princess Beatrice’s recent solo royal engagements with GB News. She examined whether these engagements reflect the King’s confidence in his niece to undertake royal responsibilities.
“Yes, this could be true,” White said. “As she doesn’t have a public social media presence, there isn’t a worry or opportunity for anything to be shared or spoken about on her channels. She is just a different type of person and wants to still be seen, but in a way that is right for her and allows her to still take part and have opportunities with the royals.”
Princess Beatrice maintains a private Instagram account with just 674 followers, followed by her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and her mother Sarah Ferguson. In contrast, her sister Princess Eugenie, aged 34, has 1.8 million followers on her verified public account.
Both Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie lead private lives with their respective husbands and children. Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank in 2018, and they have two sons, three-year-old August and one-year-old Ernest. Beatrice wed Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2020, becoming a stepmother to his eight-year-old son Wolfie, and the couple have a two-year-old daughter named Sienna.
