Royal family member Princess Beatrice is continuing the lineage of her grandfather, Prince Philip, by emulating his lifestyle and influence.
**Princess Beatrice Takes on Royal Patronage of the Chartered College of Teaching**
Princess Beatrice has been appointed as the new Patron of the Chartered College of Teaching, a prestigious professional body dedicated to championing excellence in education. In this honorary role, Beatrice will support the College's mission to empower teachers and celebrate the profession's impact.
Beatrice has expressed her deep respect for teachers, stating, "To me, the power that teachers have on shaping lives and transforming futures makes it one of the most commendable and highly regarded professions... I’m a passionate believer in the vital role that teachers play every day and know firsthand the impact that great teaching can leave on a child and their family."
The Chartered College of Teaching's Royal Charter, granted in 1849, symbolizes the professionalism and dedication of teachers. Beatrice's appointment builds on the legacy of her late grandfather, Prince Philip, who was the College's previous patron until his death in 2021.
Beatrice's appointment marks a generational shift in royal support for education. Although she is not a "working royal" in the traditional sense, her selection underscores the ongoing value the Royal Family places on education and professional excellence. Her personal connection to Prince Philip adds a layer of emotional significance to her role, highlighting the continuity of royal commitment to education.
Unlike Prince Philip, Beatrice comes to the role with a growing portfolio of charitable engagements, particularly around education and youth development. As a trustee and founder of Big Change, an organization focused on transforming education for young people, and a supporter of other educational and disability-focused charities, Beatrice is poised to not only sustain the College's profile but also amplify its mission with her own philanthropic and advocacy experience.
The Chartered College of Teaching considers Beatrice an active supporter of their organization and the teaching profession. Beatrice's role as Patron ensures the continuity of the College's royal association while potentially opening new avenues for advocacy and support, rooted in her personal experience and broader philanthropic platform.
