Royal finds fresh hope amid ongoing challenges linked to her parents
Princess Beatrice has received uplifting career news following a turbulent period caused by the controversies surrounding her parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
The Duchess of York recently faced backlash after leaked emails to her “supreme friend” Jeffrey Epstein emerged, prompting eight charities to cut ties with her. Although those same organisations kept Beatrice and her sister as patrons, the scandal still cast an uncomfortable shadow over both royal women.
Amid the fallout, Beatrice stepped down from her trustee role at the Outward Bound Trust — one of the late Prince Philip’s most cherished charities — after six years of involvement. Her return to the organisation remains uncertain.
However, the 37-year-old royal has found reason to celebrate. According to royal expert Richard Eden, Beatrice’s business venture, BY-EQ — which she founded in 2022 — has reported impressive financial growth. The firm, believed to stand for “Beatrice York” and “Emotional Quotient,” saw its earnings rise to nearly £500,000 in its second year of trading.
The company describes itself as an advisory organisation focused on strengthening emotional intelligence in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence — a mission that reflects Beatrice’s interest in education and mental wellbeing.
Despite the ongoing scrutiny surrounding her family, Beatrice continues to earn respect for her professionalism and strategic insight.
The positive development follows reports by Mail on Sunday editor-at-large Charlotte Griffiths, who noted that Beatrice is eager to take on more royal duties to support her uncle, King Charles. However, Palace aides have reportedly indicated that her wish to become a working royal is unlikely to be fulfilled while her parents’ scandals remain unresolved.
