Hard to believe that was her first interview. She did very well and came across as very genuine. Well done Beatrice!

[@leeann152]

It's not her first interview

[@jennibarnes140]

Her first live on a TV channel, look at her world wide ambassadorship speaking live on a world stage with world leaders. One of many of hers, Fergie's and Eugene's charities. The mayor of nyc and others invite her +++++

[@Georgina9109]

What a pleasure to hear HRH focus attention on her charity Outward Bound. No word salad from this princess

[@ritageorge2348]

What a lovely young lady she has become. A really genuine woman. Well done Beatrice.

[@gwblev]

Great interview. Princess Beatrice is very articulate. She should be brought to the front.

[@margarethawksworth8865]

yes she should be doing more work for the royal family give her more charity jobs to I’m sure there’s too ment for the older royals to do and give Zara and her husband a job in the firm ❤

[@coulterry67]

Beatrice would be an asset as a working royal, even part time ❤

[@shirleyvanderheijden5934]

I thought the Queen didn’t want part time royals!

[@user-vm2hn4yl1t]

No thanks. No Yorks.

[@zoesummer3646]

I think she would make a good working royal.

[@genoaroseb.1705]

Lovely to see such a nice woman who grew up in privelege and is willing to donate her time to helping others. I wish she would become a working Royal and help even more.

[@jka8782]

If she didn't continue to donate some of her time for charities the UK taxpayers would get rid of them. She or the royal family are not doing the public a favor ...their privilege life for service to their country. The men and women of the arm forces give a lot more for less...imo

[@mjdin4705]

​@@jka8782 very true.

[@jangrime7050]

​@@jka8782she is not a working Royal

[@pauper177]

well done Princess Beatrice, we need to see more of you, lovely young lady !!!!

[@SassySar]

What a lovely lady and eloquent speaker.

[@millymay0025]

Nice to see Princes B talking, she sounds intelligent, empathetic and very eloquent, with a down to earth twist. Lovely positioning of her charity and work. Well done B, you came across as really endearing!

[@groovin2mytune285]

Princess Beatrice rocked that interview. She kept focus on her charity, no matter what questions came her way. Great job!

[@zoehumphreys8925]

She came across as very nice and unpretentious, and you could tell she knew what she was talking about. Clearly very involved in her charity. The King should use her more in other Royal appearances and duties.

[@sandragostanian8878]

She is lovely! Both sisters have been through so much with their parents’ family & health issues. Praying for all of them. God bless them all.

[@gilliandianeryan1493]

I thought she spoke very well about her Charity ,beautiful to look at as well .I think she should be brought into doing more work for the Royal Family ,especially at this time when the Princess Catherine is unable to work ,at the moment .

[@ElizabethBSoCal]

Agree

[@DE-xt7jv]

I don’t, too much of a loose cannon

[@robnewman6101]

I Agree with her.

[@martijohnsonmorningcircle5245]

How is she a lose canon?

[@tanithschneider3051]

@@martijohnsonmorningcircle5245Eugenie is a leaker and spills all the news she hears about the Wales to Haz. I don’t know about Beatrice.

[@Richardryan84]

Yeah bring her up front, In the royal family, she is a delight

[@Kay-ph1kb]

Well done Princess Beatrice - you speak so well and we hope to see more of you.

[@user-ju6ud4go6b]

She speaks very well and with enthusiasm regarding the charity.

[@ccasey1904]

Princess Beatrice has really come into her own in the last few years. 😊

[@karenkratzer7036]

Love Beatrice she did a great job. She is a very good speaker.

[@sonnymiracle]

Well Done and Bravo to HRH Princess Beatrice and all involved with such a great cause!

[@CharlotteJones21]

Like Princess Beatrice-so cool and relatable person So down to Earth

[@ccgreene1]

Fantastic piece! Beatrice is quite a well spoken woman, and her first live interview was brilliant. She has the skill and confidence to be an asset to her family, especially at this time of upheaval. Glad to hear her mum is not only cancer free, but thriving and living her best life. Well done, Beatrice!!!

[@SeniorScooby]

Another RF secret weapon. She is a real asset to the RF family not because of who she is but because of how well she communicates with warmth, humour and authenticity. Well done Beatrice. 👏👏

[@paulread4969]

Years ago now the Outward Bound gave me a wonderful start in life. So grateful. Paul Read (1960’s)

[@shawnatwood4653]

Fine young lady! Outstanding charity work!

[@kerrieharrison4773]

Beatrice did a wonderful job in raising awareness of this Outward Bound charity and her other charities. Wishing good luck to all the participants of the challenge.

[@donaldwarriner1640]

Beatrice so articulate. First time I've had a chance to put a voice and thoughts with the person.

[@sandyhaggland4430]

Just like her mommy so sweet kind fun loving.... Well done Beatrice stay as sweet as you are... You do your parents proud

[@et1016]

She’s lovely.

[@cathyspiller7154]

I LOVED hearing about Sarah! I'm glad that Bea could speak of her. I miss seeing about them and now Grandbabies!

[@karincraig8169]

What a good surprise to me listening to her for the first time. She can play a huge role for the royals.

[@isnoo1]

What an amazing young lady!!! HUGS to Beatrice and the family!

[@Marilinaa]

She is so well spoken. A natural on tv

[@sabrinapineda6824]

What a BEAUTIFUL young woman, HRH, Bea has become ❤❤❤

[@BrightEyes5555]

All the best Beatrice ❤

[@Cherish..2]

She reminds me of her grandmother Queen Elizabeth

[@katfanker]

What a sweetheart!

[@Sharon-zi1xn]

I think she is lovely, and a credit to her Mum, aways liked Fergie to, whatever other people think about her, down to earth! Beatrice was very close to the queen to, i would imagine they had a very special bond! Not so keen on her sister though! Wish Fergie all the best to!

[@aka_rook]

Beatrice is so lovely.

[@Stargazer-28]

Beautiful, intelligent, humble and very relatable. Well done for a first interview. Just imagine how amazing she will be after doing more interviews. Beatrice is a hidden gem and the royal family should be very proud of her! 💕

[@MISt-BStrng7]

High compliments to Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice, a strong young woman, beautiful person. I’m proud of her. Media can be pretty sharp in their feed on people, so it’s a pleasure to hear and see her. Wishing her well.

[@user-ls9sc2qn1o]

Would be lovely to see HRH represent the King and the Royal family ❤

[@joanne4758]

*No one can deny the importance of the working royals and the amount of time and dedication they give, but for the Yorks the freedom they have has enabled them to tread their own path, and it would be wrong to take that away.* (I thought this summed it up nicely. Rgds.)

[@kerynmcmahan3621]

Very impressed with the lovely Princess Beatrice. She could definitely help the Royal Family!

[@voices_vary]

Resilience!! It's so good to hear someone talk about resilience. Everyone is morosely focusing on trauma, trauma, trauma, forgetting that humans are extremely resilient!!! Look ahead!!

[@user-dj9cz2qr2r]

What an amazing young woman bless her and family ❤

[@maryomeara3069]

She is fantastic should def be upfront more

[@rosemariebrautigam-smith9630]

Princess Beatrice is a great person to help the Royal Family at their time of need . I cant understand why the king will not ask her to help im sure she would.❤

[@zen20128]

Go Beatrice

[@stephemson7346]

Good luck Beatrice x

[@k8-jb8tg]

she speaks so well and is obviously very proud to be a part of this. And for her first live TV broadcast, she was amazing.

[@peeg09]

I like Princess Beatrice. Think she's very like her mum.

[@bhav9229]

She's brilliant!

[@jinxysanchez2990]

A great welcome to Princess Beatrice - it's good to hear about your charity. Look forward to seeing more from you.

[@rachelabbott9393]

Very happy to hear that Sarah has come through it all and in the all clear! 😊

[@Marlen137]

She should become a working royal.

[@lujinahjfairi3760]

At last a royal woman with a beautiful voice, I can listen to with ease.

[@amy83079]

I love this! I’ve never before seen a member of the royal family in a live interview! Interviews are usually scripted or rehearsed. In a live interview they come across as a real person -- love it!

[@CatsJP]

Let’s be honest …how many people put the royals down for having a privileged life?….the majority like to criticise and criticise them…but…seeing someone like Beatrice doing some good in the world…..should make those naysayers feel absolutely ashamed of themselves…..well done to any royal who are helping people.

[@alexhaynes7220]

Her and her sister should and be do more for the royal family ❤😂🎉😢😮😅

[@gaynorross9783]

They probably would if asked

[@patriciad.7309]

She did very well indeed!

[@lindymcbroom953]

She has blossomed motherhood suits her

[@elainegoad9777]

I always like Fergie. Real down to earth person. Sorry she is ill.

[@warriorgirl8118]

Ilove how she says family first because that is were you prioritizing her life she rocks for her love of family and charity 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@christinegeorge9532]

Shame on those people will give those comments we are not our mothers and fathers and should not be blamed for what they did I do not know her personallybut she came across as a lovely caring young lady and she should be judged for what she does and not for what her parents did all the best darling New Zealand originally from Wales ❤

[@Svsss477]

Very natural and well spoken!

[@bd6994]

She’s comes across as very nice 💖

[@Hiddentravel]

This just showed up on my KZbin feed. If I had seen it earlier, would have shared it more on social media. Looks like Beatrice was on the main observation deck of the Empire State Building (86th floor). The same they filmed part of the movie Sleepless in Seattle.

[@terrydougherty5714]

Princess Beatrice is a great speaker. Could listen to her all day!!! Hope King Charles finds a place for her to assist the Firm. She would do a really good job.

[@jude1515]

Good interview and prayers to her mother.
