Princess Beatrice will mark her 38th birthday on Saturday, August 8, and this year’s celebrations will likely look a little different for King Charles’s niece. “Much has changed for the York family since Beatrice's last birthday,” the author continued. Princess Beatrice poses with Alice + Olivia founder Stacey Bendet on June 4. The sisters did attend cousin Peter Phillips's wedding to Harriet Sperling, making their only appearance of the year with the Royal Family on June 6. Lownie says that another pressing issue with Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie is the “questions raised over the daughters' subsidized accommodation at St James's Palace and Kensington Palace though not working royals.”
