Royal princess faces terrifying NICU nightmare—then transforms it into a powerful mission. Her raw story changes lives.
Princess Beatrice's terrifying premature birth journey transformed her into a royal advocate.
Her daughter Athena's early arrival sparked a passionate mission for overlooked women's health issues. The Princess became patron of Borne charity to support prematurity research, highlighting the 60,000 babies born prematurely in the UK annually. Medical professionals had advised Beatrice against long-distance travel in December, foreshadowing the early delivery that would occur in January 2025.
