Pregnant Princess Beatrice appeared in good spirits as she attended a meeting in London today. 

The Queen’s granddaughter, 33, who is expecting her first baby with Italian property developer husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi this autumn, looked effortlessly stylish when in the British capital.

Putting on a fashionable display, mother-to-be Beatrice opted for a striped jacket paired with a matching blue frock as she attended a meeting for the Big Change Charitable Trust. 

The Big Change, which connects and supports organisations that can create positive change for young people, was founded in 2010 by a group of six friends including Beatrice and Sir Richard Branson’s children Holly and Sam.

Showing she meant business, Beatrice donned a trendy blue striped blazer for her meeting, featuring light blue lining and elegant silver button detailing. 

She teamed the statement garment with a flowing royal blue dress, which showed off her blossoming baby bump.

Featuring a dropped hem and buttoned bodice, the frock was paired with an eye-catching cream and red handbag.

Keeping her phone in one hand, the Duke and Duchess of York’s eldest daughter opted for a sophisticated smattering of makeup.

She completed her look by keeping her hair down, while sporting a name badge with her title and ‘Big Change’ penned on it.

Beatrice recently showed off a rare glimpse of her central London home in an interview with parenting blogger Giovanna Fletcher, where she discussed the ‘gift’ of dyslexia, as well as her relationship with her husband’s son Wolfie, five, who she described as a ‘bonus child’.

Clearly keeping family close to her heart, the royal’s living room is filled with photos of herself and Edo, as well as snaps from her travels across the world.

It comes as the royal spoke movingly about her experience of dyslexia – and says that if her unborn child is ‘lucky enough’ to be diagnosed with it, then she will see that as a ‘gift’.

The Queen’s granddaughter was herself diagnosed with the learning difficulty, which can affect reading, writing and spelling, when she was seven.

But while she had support from an early age, Beatrice revealed ‘nobody made me feel like it was a lesser-than’ when she was diagnosed. 

Speaking to Hello! magazine, she referred to it as a ‘gift’ because she feels it has offered her different skills in life, saying: ‘I think that having dyslexia and reflecting on where I am right now in my career path, and also as an older person looking back, it definitely has allowed me to look at things in a new way and come up with solutions.’

Her words echo the title of Ron Davis’ 1994 book The Gift of Dyslexia, which became an immediate best-seller and a bible for people with dyslexia and parents of children with dyslexia. 

She also described her role as a stepmother to Edo’s son Wolfie, calling him her ‘bonus son’ – but admitted that home-schooling him during lockdown had been a challenge.
