Princess Beatrice replaces Kate Middleton at Wimbledon: photos
In the wake of Kate Middleton’s Cancer DiagnosisThings have clearly changed within the royal company.
The Princess of Wales has spent months away from the public eye. Prince William has divided his time between being by her side and covering her royal duties of father with cancer.
William cannot replace his father It is wife while holding his own. So, enter Princess Beatrice in the chat.
Her first assignment? Wimbeldon, an event Kate has overseen and attended for most of the last decade.
Cheering on the athletes from the stands on Tuesday, July 9, Princess Beatrice of York arrived alongside her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

She wore a $3,295 printed white lace shirtdress from Monique Lhuillier’s spring 2024 ready-to-wear collection, adorned throughout with vibrant multicolored florals — pinks, blues, and greens popping against the white lace.
She beamed happily as she watched the match alongside other patrons including actor Stephen Fry. Beatrice is the first member of the royal family to attend the event this year, though hopefully not the last.
This move is either Beatrice cementing her place as royal patron this year in Kate’s place – or she could just be the opening act. There’s still hope Kate may appear for this weekend’s finals.

Kate Middleton is focused on cancer treatment and recovery
Earlier this spring, the Princess of Wales revealed her cancer diagnosis after months of mysterious seclusion and a shoddy attempt to cover up the news by the royal company.
During her months of absence from the public eye, she was unable to fulfill her duties as part of the family of expensive national mascots.
She needs to spend her time focusing on cancer treatments and recovery from these treatments. Waving to the public or giving a speech at some sort of charity for dragon-eaten knights (or whatever the British need her to do) should be completely out of the question.

According to a new report from The Daily Maila source close to the royal family believes that King Charles will ask Princess Beatrice to cover some important royal appearances in the summer of 2024.
Princess Beatrice (like her sister, Princess Eugenie) is a non-working royal. This means she is a member of the family, but is not “active” on behalf of the royal company. Generally.
She is the daughter of the unfortunate prince andrew. Despite her shameful ancestry, both she and Princess Eugenie were able to receive requests from Charles to act as surrogates for the Princess of Wales.

What would Princess Beatrice need to do in Kate Middleton’s place?
Garter Day, the 80th anniversary of D-Day and numerous garden parties at Buckingham Palace are all on the calendar for summer 2024.
Typically, Kate would be making royal appearances at these events. Until this year, she has played her part in many of these occasions.
However, chemotherapy is grueling and has numerous side effects. It would be obscene for the royal company to expect her, or anyone undergoing chemotherapy, to show up for Garter Day, whenever that may be. The fact that she showed up for Troping the color was a miracle in itself.
So enlisting the other princesses in the family seems correct.
“I think Beatrice and Eugenie are providing support where they can,” the inside source expressed.
“They have always made it clear that they are not royals,” the source added. They are members of the royal family through their odious father, but they don’t typically function as mascots like their cousins.
“But,” the source emphasized, “they are always there to help accomplish any necessary tasks.”

Princess Beatrice has helped the royal company before
“(Charles) is looking to bring in new blood and is counting on Beatrice and Eugenie,” a second source explained.
“He thinks they have grown into very sensible, lovely women who he thinks could be a real asset,” the source said.
The source then claimed: “Charles is listening to his audience.”
Notably, Princess Beatrice stepped up to help the late Elizabeth II during her long reign. It’s not unthinkable that she would do so again.
