King Charles has given his niece, Princess Beatrice, a new role.
Princess Beatrice has been given a new role by King Charles after he stripped her father, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, of his royal titles.
The 37-year-old royal - whose mother is Sarah Ferguson - will act as Deputy Patron of The Outward Bound Trust.
Her uncle, Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, is a Royal Patron of the outdoor education charity.
Andrew was also previously a Royal Patron until 2019.
While speaking to The Mirror at an event in London this week, where she was officially sworn into her new role, Beatrice - who was a trustee of the organisation for six years - said: "I feel incredibly inspired and grateful to have met so many young people like Sadie and Leo through the years that I've been a part of Outward Bound. They show us that anything is possible when you put your mind to it, and that what Outward Bound does, works.
"Working with The Duke of Edinburgh, we aim to continue the 80+ years of evidence which shows that adventure can build resilience, confidence and kindness in young people."
Martin Davidson, Chief Executive of Outward Bound Trust, commented: "With The Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Beatrice working alongside us, we're embarking on a new chapter.
"One where every young person has the chance to test their limits, build confidence and discover that anything is possible. Their support reflects a shared belief that adventure changes lives."
Beatrice landing the new role comes as Andrew, formerly Duke of York, was urged by the UK government to travel to the United States to answer questions about his “long-standing friendship” with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
