Alongside Ms Reeves’ delegation of government ministers, Beatrice is also expected to talk on a panel exploring how private capital from family offices and sovereign wealth funds can be used to tackle climate change, according to The Times. The move signals here increasingly important role in the royal family having stepped up to support the Kings Foundation last year in the wake of cancer diagnoses for King Charles and the Princess of Wales.
Her appearance will come a month after Beatrice joined other members of the royal family at Sandringham on Christmas Day after changing her travel plans due to medical advice. She and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are expecting their second child in early spring and were due to spend the festive period overseas with his parents. Instead, the couple were at the King’s Norfolk estate attending the Christmas morning service at St Mary Magdalene Church after being advised not to travel long distances.
