Princess Beatrice has spoken publicly for the first time since her father, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, was stripped of all his royal titles and honours.
King Charles officially appointed Beatrice, 37, as Deputy Patron of The Outward Bound Trust, a youth development charity once championed by her late grandfather Prince Philip, and later by her disgraced father, who stepped down amid the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Speaking at a reception at St James’s Palace, Beatrice shared her reaction in six heartfelt words: “I feel incredibly inspired and grateful.”
The princess, who has served as a trustee for six years, said she was honoured to continue the charity’s mission alongside Prince Edward, now the charity’s Royal Patron.
“Working with The Duke of Edinburgh, we aim to continue the 80+ years of evidence which shows that adventure builds resilience, confidence and kindness in young people,” she told the Mirror.
