Sarah and her ex-husband Prince Andrew, Duke of York, became parents on August 8, 1988, with the birth of their daughter, Beatrice, whose name was not declared until almost two weeks after her birth.

Sarah and Andrew may have been divorced for over 20 years, but they had remained good friends and great parents.

In 1991, Beatrice started her early education at the independent Upton House School in Windsor. From that point, she went to the independent Coworth Park School from 1995. From 2000 to 2007, she was a student at the independent St George's School in Ascot.

At seven years old, Beatrice was diagnosed with dyslexia, which is characterized by difficulty with reading regardless of normal intelligence. In 2005, she informed the public about her diagnosis.

Three years later, she began a three-year course studying for a BA in History and History of Ideas at Goldsmiths College, London. She graduated with a 2:1 degree in 2011.

In an interview, Beatrice once said that she wanted to use her position to help others through philanthropy work.

She is currently dating Count Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, son of Count Alessandro (Alex) Mapelli Mozzi, a former British Olympian. The pair are believed to have started dating in 2018.

Beatrice is ninth in the line of succession to the British throne, followed by her sister Eugenie, who was born on March 23, 1990, by cesarean section.

Eugenie started her schooling at Winkfield Montessori from 1992 to 1993. From there, she joined Beatrice at Upton House School in Windsor until 1995. Eugenie then attended Coworth Park School from 1995 to 2001. After that, she went to St George's School until 2003.

She boarded at Marlborough College in Wiltshire for the following five years. In 2009, she started studying at Newcastle University, combining Art History, English Literature, and Politics. In 2012, she finished her studies, earning a 2:1 in English literature and history of art.

In 2007, she represented her father at an administration of thanksgiving for her auntie, Diana, Princess of Wales, alongside her sister.

Eugenie's engagement to Jack Brooksbank was announced by the Duke of York's Office at Buckingham Palace in January 2018. The two had been dating for seven years. In October 2018, they tied the knot at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.

Eugenie and Beatrice's parents Sarah and Andrew may have been divorced for over 20 years, but they had remained good friends and great parents to their two daughters.

They got married in 1986 but divorced ten years later. Andrew’s duties as a naval officer, which required him to be away from home for long periods, were partly blamed for their divorce.
