Princess Beatrice's plans for working royal life laid bare after stepping up for King. Princess Beatrice's future role in the Firm has been revealed by a palace insider. King Charles's niece stepped up for the monarch earlier this month when she visited The King's Foundation's Future Textiles exhibition at the Garrison Chapel in Chelsea, showcasing works by students and alumni of the charity set up by Charles in 1986.

The visit was viewed by some as a show of support for King Charles and fuelled speculation about Beatrice's role in the Firm.
However, a palace insider has told Hello! magazine there is no plan for Beatrice to assume official royal duties despite her having stepped up to support the Windsors along with her sister, Princess Eugenie, while the King and Princess of Wales underwent cancer treatment.

A royal source told the publication the princess might help out at things occasionally, as she did at the Prince of Wales's garden party earlier this year. They added: "But it's not a phased introduction into royal duties it's just her supporting the family." Beatrice helped Prince William in May at a Buckingham Palace garden party and spoke live on TV for an interview about the work of the Outward Bound charity, previously supported by her grandfather, Prince Philip.

The revelation about her royal role comes weeks after Beatrice announced she and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are expecting their second child together in the spring. Beatrice and Edoardo already share a daughter, Sienna, and Edoardo has a son, Christopher Woolf, from a previous relationship. On top of being a mum, Beatrice is Vice President of Partnerships and Strategy at software company, Afiniti. She is also the founder of BY-EQ, which advises companies on emotional intelligence.

Ahead of her visit to Chelsea, Beatrice was in Abu Dhabi for the ADIPEC Exhibition and Conference where she spoke about the need for an inclusive approach to artificial intelligence (AI). Princess Beatrice set for ‘unofficial’ new royal role as Prince Andrew mystery heats up. Princess Beatrice looks set for a new 'unofficial' role in the Royal Family after she welcomes her second child.

Princess Beatrice has a history of balancing charitable work with state duties despite not being a working royal, including stepping in for events King Charles is unable to attend in her position as Counsellor of State. While her father Prince Andrew has been increasingly ostracised from the royal fold after his reported friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, his eldest daughter Beatrice has taken on more responsibility in recent years and looks set to claim a new role as 'unofficial ambassador for the UK' in the Middle East.

The princess, who is pregnant with her second child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, has been mingling with the region's power players during trips to Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia in recent months. The trips were linked to her position as vice president of tech firm Afinitii but also gave her a chance to talk up British business with the CEOs of some of the world's biggest companies.

Rubbing shoulders with foreign officials was a key part of Prince Andrew's brief before he was damningly linked to Epstein in the 2010s and it looks like his eldest daughter is poised to take up the mantle evident as recently as November 4, when she attended the Adipec energy conference in Abu Dhabi and spoke with officials about the rise of artifical intelligence.

Beatrice was also spotted speaking to UAE president and crown prince of Abu Dhabi Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyen at a private meeting hosted the day before, also attended by the CEOs of Shell and EDF, the vice president of Microsoft and Mark Carney, former Bank of England governor and UN special envoy for climate action. #princeharry #meghanmarkle #kingcharles #royalfamily #princewilliam #katemiddleton #camilla #princeandrew #sarahferguson #princesscharlotte #princegeorge #princeloius #archie #britishroyals #royals #princessanne
