Princess Beatrice recently opened up about her learning disorder.
In the video interview for Made By Dyslexia, Princess Beatrice revealed that she suffered from the learning disorder growing up.
Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s daughter explained that dyslexia is something that develops and grows with the person. After all, it’s a part of how one’s brain works.
According to Princess Beatrice, being diagnosed with a learning disability doesn’t mean that something is wrong with the individual. It’s just that every person’s brain works differently.
Princess Eugenie’s older sister also shared what it was like attending school while knowing that she has dyslexia. Princess Beatrice said that she’s lucky to have studied at a school that was very nurturing and supportive. However, she cannot deny the fact that it was also challenging.
There were times when the students at Princess Beatrice’s school were given different colored books to determine their reading levels. She said that her books were always white. However, her classmates’ books were always yellow and green.
This means that her classmates were much more advanced than her when it comes to their reading levels. During those moments, a young Princess Beatrice couldn’t help but question whether she’s not good enough or smart enough like her peers.
But now that she’s older, Princess Beatrice said that her learning disorder has paved the way for her to be the vice president of Partnerships and Strategy at Afiniti.
She said that most of her colleagues were also diagnosed with dyslexia because their technology company is all about thinking differently. And one of the things dyslexics are good at is their ability to think out of the box and to solve problems in different ways.
Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice also made headlines recently after she announced that her wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi has been canceled indefinitely.
The royal couple was set to tie the knot this week, but they were forced to change their plans due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Fergie recently opened up about the postponement of her daughter’s wedding. She told Darlton Harris on the City Island Podcast that she’s sad for Princess Beatrice.
The Duchess of York also revealed that Princess Beatrice has been living with Mozzi and her future mother-in-law. As such, Fergie said that she misses her daughter because she hasn’t seen her since the lockdown.
Princess Eugenie, on the other hand, is staying at the Ivy Cottage with her husband, Jack Brooksbank.
