Princess Beatrice steps back from royal drama as she prepares for second child
Princess Beatrice, who is expecting her second child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in spring 2025, has made a significant decision to prioritise her family after receiving clarity on her royal role from King Charles.
The daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have been at the centre of discussions about their future within the royal family. While King Charles has reportedly expressed a desire to keep Beatrice and Eugenie “close,” there is no indication that they will be assigned prominent royal duties.
Amid ongoing tensions between the King and Prince Andrew, including a recent controversy involving a security scandal, Beatrice has chosen to focus on her health and growing family. Sources suggest that the princess is stepping back from royal drama to prepare for the arrival of her second child.
Although she may occasionally support family engagements, insiders emphasise that this is not a formal introduction into senior royal duties. Recently, Beatrice joined her sister Eugenie and mother Sarah Ferguson to promote the Teenage Cancer Trust, showcasing her commitment to meaningful causes.
As she balances her family life and limited royal appearances, it remains to be seen if Beatrice will reconsider her involvement in royal duties after welcoming her new baby.
