Besides being spotted at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding and in Karlie Kloss’ Instagram snaps, Princess Beatrice usually stays out of the spotlight

Princess Beatrice of York made headlines when she married her millionaire beau, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, in a secret wedding ceremony in Windsor last year. After all, the 32-year-old eldest daughter of Prince Andrew of York and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, is notably ninth in line for the British throne, followed by her sister, Princess Eugenie.

While most of us got a rare (first?) glimpse of her during Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011, almost everything else about Beatrice is an enigma. Like her shocking celebrity posse, for instance, which includes supermodel Karlie Kloss and British pop singer Ellie Goulding.

Here’s what you need to know about the princess’ low-profile yet impressive life.

She has a net worth of US$6.5 million

Named after Queen Victoria’s youngest child, Princess Beatrice studied in the posh boarding school St. George’s Ascot, where she was elected head girl and was part of the school’s choir. Beatrice then continued her education at Goldsmiths, University of London and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in history.

Beatrice and Eugenie are estimated to have staggering net worths of US$6.5 million each, thanks to the trust fund set up by their parents and the queen, Vogue Australia reported.
