Becoming a Royal Patron for the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity in 2013, Princess Beatrice said: “I would not have been able to achieve my academic results without the support I received from the Centre.”
While Princess Beatrice still “spells things wrong” and has to “read every email a million times to make sure it’s correct”, she now sees dyslexia as a gift.
In a podcast for the charity in 2016, she declared her diagnosis was “the greatest thing that ever happened”.
Life has moved on since that podcast, however, as Princess Beatrice is now married to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who she shares 11-month-old Sienna with.
