On Monday, May 6, the 35-year-old captivated ITV viewers as she joined the This Morning studio live from New York.
Princess Beatrice gracefully responded to Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle’s inquiries and even provided a brief update on her mother’s health.
“She’s doing really well, thank you Josie. She had a bumpy health scare last year but she’s all clear now. But I think at 64, she’s thriving, she’s been through so much, but now she’s coming into her own”, Her Royal Highness said about Sarah Ferguson, a beloved personality on the breakfast staple.
Princess Beatrice added: “We are just reminded when any parent or individual has a health scenario, you really need to get the checks that you need to get as early as you possibly can. And both my sister and I are so proud of her for taking those steps to get those checks.”
In her debut live TV interview, the mother-of-two also discussed her latest endeavor, expressing her commitment to supporting the Outward Bound Trust in America, a cause deeply meaningful to her late grandfather, Prince Philip.
This move is seen as evidence by royal experts that she is prepared to embrace additional responsibilities.
Biographer and royal commentator Phil Dampier suggested: “I get the impression Beatrice and Eugenie are stepping up their charity work, and dropping subtle hints to the King that they would be willing to take on some royal duties if asked.”
“The King recently took over some 300 patronages from his mother and father, but it’s a big workload, especially as he’s battling cancer”, Phil added.
“Done carefully with Palace approval, I think it could be arranged so that they [Beatrice and Eugenie] take on some non-controversial roles with worthy causes like hospitals, schools and even the military.” But will the monarch agree to the princesses becoming prevalent in the spotlight?
