Princess Beatrice rang in her 38th birthday on Saturday, but the celebrations were quite unusual for the King’s niece this time around.
The eldest daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson has reportedly been under lot of stress, with the added chaos of the marital woes. Despite the turmoil she is facing, her closed ones made an effort to make the day special.
According to a royal insider cited by The Sun, there weren’t any big celebrations and it was “remarkably low-key, almost gloomy birthday” this year.
“In the past, Beatrice loved a grand celebration. She was the life and soul of the party. But how can you celebrate when your family name is dragged through the mud on a daily basis?” they said. “She has been deeply distressed at times.”
Hence, without the fanfare, Beatrice was joined by her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and the children.
“It’s a deeply sad state of affairs,” the source said about the situation. “You can only imagine how Beatrice must be feeling. It must be incredibly isolating not seeing her parents right now.”
Beatrice was known to be the closest to her father, who is now ousted from the royal fold for his shameful allegations and association with Epstein. Fergie, while not accused of wrong doing, has also been embroiled in controversy for being attached to the paedophile financier.
“Not having her mother or father around on her birthday is a bitter pill to swallow. Andrew’s public presence is simply too toxic, and Sarah being out of the country means Beatrice is left to face this milestone feeling rather abandoned.”
