Buckingham Palace has been awash with smiles and celebration as Princess Beatrice, 35, delighted royal fans by sharing a rare glimpse of her beautiful 3-month-old daughter. In a series of tender photographs taken in the gardens of her family home, the Princess beamed with pride, cradling the tiny royal who is already winning hearts around the world.

This is the first time the public has been given a clear look at the newest member of the York family, and the moment has been met with overwhelming affection. Wearing a soft cream bonnet and wrapped in a delicate lace blanket, the baby appeared serene and curious, her wide eyes fixed on her mother’s face. “She’s an absolute angel,” one palace aide remarked, adding that Beatrice “has taken to motherhood with incredible grace and joy.”

Beatrice, the elder daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, welcomed her baby in September, and while the royal couple has kept her largely out of the public eye, friends say the Princess felt it was the perfect time to share a small part of their happiness with the world. The photographs, released with the blessing of the Palace, were accompanied by a heartfelt message: “We are so grateful for the love and well-wishes we’ve received since her arrival. She has brought so much light into our lives.”

Royal watchers were quick to notice that the setting for the photographs — a flower-filled garden bathed in soft autumn sunlight — echoed the style of traditional royal baby portraits, while still feeling personal and modern. Beatrice, wearing a pale blue dress and minimal makeup, appeared relaxed and radiant, her joy as a new mother unmistakable.

This special appearance comes during a time of both joy and challenge for the York family. While her father, Prince Andrew, remains out of the public eye following recent controversies, Beatrice has quietly focused on her family life and royal duties, striking a careful balance between her public role and her private happiness. Supporters see this moment as a reminder of the more human, relatable side of the Royal Family — one built not just on ceremony, but on love and connection.

The little Princess (whose name has not yet been publicly confirmed) is believed to be thriving. Friends close to Beatrice say she is already a spirited and alert baby, bringing “laughter and tiny surprises” into every day. The baby is also the latest playmate for her cousin, Princess Eugenie’s son August, marking a new generation of royal cousins who may one day grow up in the public eye.

For now, Princess Beatrice appears determined to savor every moment of early motherhood. “She doesn’t want to miss a thing,” a friend shared. “Every smile, every giggle, every milestone — she treasures them all.”

As royal fans continue to coo over the adorable photographs, one thing is clear: Princess Beatrice’s little girl may only be three months old, but she’s already captured the hearts of the nation.
