Princess Beatrice 'having the last laugh' as she celebrates 'romantic' birthday with husband Edoardo and 'surprise from Prince Harry'

Princess Beatrice has been through some challenging times over the past few years. From her father Prince Andrew’s dramatic fall from grace to her mum Sarah, the Duchess of York’s devastating cancer diagnosis, there have been troubled waters for both her and younger sister Eugenie, 34, to navigate.

However, as Beatrice, who is ninth in line to the throne, prepares to celebrate her 36th birthday on 8 August, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond exclusively reveals to OK!

that the princess is in a good place — and has proved once again what an asset she is for our monarchy. “Beatrice seems to have struck a balance between being a modern working woman who is also a mother and stepmother, and yet still a valued member of the Royal Family, using her position to help charities and causes close to her heart,” Jennie says.

The princess, who works in partnerships and strategy for software company Afiniti, was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was seven, and has used her profile to raise awareness of the learning difficulty. “Beatrice has done some immensely important work on dyslexia, talking about it publicly and helping to normalise it,” says Jennie. “She has inherited some of her mother’s very best qualities — relentless positivity, resilience, and a determination to use her position in life to help people who are less fortunate.
