Princess Beatrice will mark her 38th birthday on Saturday, August 8, and this year’s celebrations will likely look a little different for King Charles’s niece. She’s been relatively absent from public life after her father was arrested in February, and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor biographer Andrew Lownie says that the tough period Beatrice and her sister Eugenie have been going through is unlikely to change much this year.
Lownie, who wrote the bestselling book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, told the Daily Mail that this weekend's birthday “will not be an easy one” for Princess Beatrice due to “the state of her title, her marriage and her business activities.”
