It may have been Princess Beatrice's big day – but her mother was the one bursting with excitement. The royal graduate plans to undertake several internships and focus on her charity work
Proud Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson unite to watch Princess Beatrice graduate from Goldsmiths. The Duchess of York could barely contain her joy as her elder daughter graduated from university yesterday.
While Beatrice smiled cheerily, her mother – wearing a gold bracelet with her daughter's name carved into it – was so overcome that she began to cry as she hugged her.
Earlier, the 51-year-old had also posted congratulations on Twitter, writing: 'Beatrice graduating today from Goldsmiths... So proud of her achievement. As all mothers/parents are, well done... All graduates.'
The 23-year-old princess achieved a 2:1 in history and the history of ideas from Goldsmiths College. Beatrice, who is fifth in line to the throne, was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of seven and has needed extra classes to help her with reading and writing.
Her three-year degree at the university in London saw her study classic texts from figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Machiavelli, Hobbes and Freud. However, it seems the young royal will not suffer the challenges faced by other young graduates desperately seeking a foothold in the job market.
But yesterday was a day for celebration, and after receiving her degree from the university's Dean in the Great Hall, the princess and her parents joined her 324 fellow graduates for Prosecco and canapés in a marquee outside. Her father, Prince Andrew, could also be seen hugging and kissing his elder daughter.
A beaming Beatrice, who was dressed in a mortar board and gown with brown trim over a smart black dress and flat pumps, said she had 'had the most amazing university experience'.
