Born in 1988 to Prince Andrew, The Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, Princess Beatrice Elizabeth Mary of York is their first child and the fifth grandchild of The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh.
Her younger sister Princess Eugenie was born two years later.
The sisters are very close, but had their worst ever fight when one stole the other’s Converse trainers, they revealed to British Vogue magazine.
After school, Beatrice studied at Goldsmiths College, London, where she graduated in 2011 with a degree majoring in History and History of Ideas.
The 31-year-old, who is dyslexic, has chosen to focus most of her charity work on children’s welfare and education, especially learning difficulties.
While the princess carries out many royal duties, she works full time in business, according to her official royal website.
