The Truth About Princess Beatrice's Connection To Harry Potter

A lot of changes have happened for Princess Beatrice in 2020. Express shared that she planned a socially-distanced wedding to her husband Edoardo Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi during the COVID-19 outbreak, and became a stepmother to Mapelli Mozzi's son, Christopher Mapelli Mozzi. The young princess is ninth in line to the throne and does not work as a senior member of the Royal Family like her cousin, Prince William

Even though the newlywed does not have a role within the palace, the outlet shared with readers that she has always held a job of her own. She currently works at Afiniti as the Vice President of Partnerships and Strategy; not too shabby for a princess.

The List reported that Beatrice gained her love for leadership when she attended St. George's School in Ascot and became a "Head Girl." If the term sounds familiar, that is probably because you read about it in the Harry Potter book series. Most royal enthusiasts may not have known that the works of literature that raised a generation by J.K. Rowling hold a special place in the princess' eye.

The Harry Potter series helped Princess Beatrice with her dyslexia

The Queen's granddaughter revealed to The Telegraph that while growing up, she had a hard time managing her dyslexia and found solace while reading Harry Potter. At the time, the 32-year-old told the outlet, via The Huffington Post, "When I was younger I was diagnosed with dyslexia which meant, for me, sitting in front of a book was really hard — until I discovered Harry Potter, and this character, this 11-year-old boy, who suddenly gets off to school for the first time, captured my imagination and suddenly reading was fun. Reading was inspiring, and I was motivated. From then on and then, I couldn't put the books down."

According to Town & Country, Princess Beatrice's goal is to bring more knowledge to the classroom and reform the way the education system includes children who learn differently, including those living with dyslexia. The princess made a heartfelt video for a charity called Made By Dyslexia to bring a deeper understanding of the learning disability. In the video, she revealed that her day-to-day learning was convoluted even though she went to a supportive school, saying, "I remember we had different colored books to describe how far your reading levels had got to, and I was always on the white books. And I think at that stage, those moments of doubt just pop into your head."

Princess Beatrice gives back to children worldwide

Even though she was diagnosed with a learning disability at the age of seven, Princess Beatrice was lucky to have gotten specialist treatment at the Helen Arkell Centre. Where she now spends her time giving hope to other children who have been diagnosed with dyslexia. The Princess would like to teach those who have been affected by the disability that, "Dyslexia is not a pigeonhole to say you can't do anything. It is an opportunity and a possibility to learn differently. You have magical brains; they just process differently. Don't feel like you should be held back by it," per Hello Magazine.

Princess Beatrice has been raising major awareness since her interview, and most recently in May 2020, People reported that she was pleased with the work she had done thus far with her charities. Even though the reimagining of the education system in England and around the world may take a little time, her royal highness is optimistic that schools will be able to teach their students the correct tools that are needed for success, no matter if you live with a learning disability or not. The has given children everywhere hope, and where there is hope, there is faith that a change will be made. Now that's magic.
