Queen Elizabeth initially did not accept Princess Beatrice's given name at birth
In the year 1988, a royal name was chosen that would become one of the most recognizable in the modern royal family. Princess Beatrice Elizabeth Mary, born on the 8th of August, was initially destined to bear the name Annabel, as her parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, had preferred. However, Queen Elizabeth II, with her keen eye for royal tradition, rejected the name, considering it "too yuppie." Instead, she suggested the name Beatrice, a choice that would be fittingly royal and distinctive enough.
The name Beatrice, meaning "bringer of joy," holds a rich history within the royal family, honouring Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice. The announcement of the young princess's name was made two weeks after her birth, and it was seen as an "unexpected choice" at the time.
Princess Beatrice, now ninth in line to the throne, spent her childhood years surrounded by family, a source of joy that remains to this day. Today, she is a mother to two daughters, Sienna Elizabeth and Athena Elizabeth Rose. Her family life continues to bring her happiness, a testament to the meaning behind her name.
On July 17, 2021, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Beatrice's husband, marked their fifth wedding anniversary with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. In his post, he expressed gratitude for their journey together, a journey that has led to the addition of two beautiful daughters to their family. Edoardo, who also has a son named Christopher "Wolfie" Woolf, has become an integral part of Princess Beatrice's life.
The family's annual summer stay at Balmoral in Scotland was where Queen Elizabeth suggested the name Beatrice for the princess, a decision that would shape her life and the royal family's history. Today, Princess Beatrice stands as a shining example of royal tradition and personal joy, a testament to the wisdom of Queen Elizabeth's choice.
