A LITTLE ABOUT BEATRICE
By right and birth, the title “Her Royal Highness” belongs to Princess Beatrice being the oldest daughter of Sarah, Duchess of York, and Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, but she prefers to be treated normally without much courtesy.
33-year old Beatrice believed that her title would make it difficult for her to make friends, as it could upset people. She wants to be approachable, and people to love her as she is.
