Princess Beatrice has publicly broken her silence for the first time since her father, the former Prince Andrew, was stripped of his royal titles, coinciding with the announcement of her new position.
A New Chapter with The Outward Bound Trust
The Princess has landed a significant new role with The Outward Bound Trust, an organisation that was once closely associated with her father. In an exclusive statement to the Mirror on 7th November 2025, she shared her enthusiasm for the position.
"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," Beatrice said. She emphasised the transformative power of the trust's work, adding, "They show us that anything is possible when you put your mind to it, and that what Outward Bound does, works."
Continuing a Legacy of Building Resilience
In her new capacity, Princess Beatrice will be working alongside The Duke of Edinburgh. Together, their mission is to build upon the organisation's long-standing legacy.
"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," she stated, highlighting the proven impact of outdoor adventures on youth development.
Stepping Forward Amidst Family Turmoil
This public statement and new professional commitment mark a significant step for the Princess, coming in the direct aftermath of the scandal that led to her father being stripped of his military affiliations and royal patronages. By embracing this role, Beatrice is carving out her own path of public service, focusing on a cause dedicated to empowering the next generation.
