Princess Beatrice scales back birthday amid disgraced York family turmoil

News24 host Rita Panahi details how Princess Beatrice has decided to have a “subdued” birthday celebration this year. “Princess Beatrice had her 38th birthday celebrations, but they are going to be subdued compared to previous years because the York family is facing all sorts of issues,” Ms Panahi said. “She is said to be planning a quiet gathering and has maintained a notably low public profile in recent months. “What are you going to do? Both your mother and your father have disgraced themselves; It’s not her fault in any way. But people will look at her and associate her with Fergie and the former prince Andrew.”
