An insider shared with Ok! Magazine, "Both the King and William have observed Beatrice's exceptional performance in recent weeks, which is why they are inclined to position her as a prominent representative of the royal family in public engagements." While this move is presently viewed as a temporary unofficial role to fill the void during Charles and Kate's recovery, there is a possibility that it could evolve into a more permanent position in the future.
Known for her loyalty to the royal family, Princess Beatrice has also maintained a close relationship with her cousin, Prince Harry, amidst his well-publicized rift with his father and brother. Additionally, she has offered support to King Charles during his cancer battle, being among the first to visit him at Clarence House following his diagnosis.
Princess Beatrice's connection with her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, has been significant. For her wedding to Italian property developer Edo Mapelli Mozzi on July 17, 2020, at the Royal Lodge, Beatrice chose to wear a gown that belonged to the monarch. Currently ninth in line to the British throne, Beatrice shares a daughter named Sienna Elizabeth, 2, with Mozzi, as well as stepson Christopher "Wolfie" Woolf, 6, from Mozzi's previous relationship.
Following the Queen's passing, Beatrice was appointed as a Counsellor of State, a senior royal who represents the monarch on official duties when required. Since then, she has participated in various royal events, including the King's Coronation and Princess Kate's Christmas carol concert.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton has made a gradual return to work with a childcare campaign. Reports indicate that the Duchess, now in the process of resuming her normal routine after surgery, is working from home on an initiative aimed at enhancing the lives of babies. The project is supported by The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, which Kate played a significant role in inspiring. Kensington Palace confirmed that Kate has been kept informed throughout the project's development.
