While it’s certainly a royal look worthy of appreciation, Beatrice attended the event for a very meaningful reason. The film follows a Chinese family that tries to find the best path for their daughter after she’s diagnosed with dyslexia. This film was created to debunk many misconceptions about learning disabilities.
Princess Beatrice has been outspoken about her own dyslexia
Because Princess Beatrice was diagnosed as dyslexic as a child, there is a personal connection between the film and her. “Honestly, what inspired me to talk about dyslexia the way that I have, is because I really want to change the narrative around the diagnosis,” In an interview, Beatrice stated that she was proud to be associated with Hello! Last year. “Even referring to it as a diagnosis I feel does a disservice to the brilliance of some of the most fantastic minds that we have. And I think just shifting the narrative a little bit towards something that is positive, that is impactful, I think can really help everyone.”
Beatrice has insisted that while dyslexia presents certain challenges for those affected, it also offers so many advantages that aren’t talked about. “It definitely has allowed me to look at things in a new way and come up with solutions,”Beatrice spoke of the condition. “I always describe it like being able to think in a circle. Yes, my spelling is appalling, and I wish that I could do something about that. But luckily, spellcheck has sorted that out for me.”

She’s also referred to dyslexia as a “gift” and considers any child who is born with it as lucky—as long as they’re given the proper tools to succeed. “If any child, any bonus son, or future babies that are on their way, are lucky enough to be diagnosed with dyslexia, I feel incredibly grateful to have tools such as the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity to be able to tap into, to give them that extra support,”The princess said so. Princess Beatrice remarked that both children and adults who struggle with dyslexia can find support from others like her.
