The 34-year-old eldest daughter of disgraced royal Prince Andrew, has become Counsellor of State – meaning she can step in for Charles should the occasion arise.

Before Her Majesty’s death, Charles, William, Harry and Andrew all held the esteemed position which enabled them to perform the monarch’s duties temporarily if she was unable “due to illness or absence abroad”.

This is because they are the top four people in line of succession over the age of 21.

But now Charles is King, it means Beatrice is number four on the list, not including Queen Camilla who can also act in His Majesty’s absence.

It means the Counsellors of State are William, Harry, Andrew, Queen Consort Camilla and the next person in line over the age of 21, which is Beatrice.

In reality it puts Beatrice second in-line behind William as Andrew has been stood down from official duties following the Jennifer Giuffre sex-abuse scandal and his entanglement with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, while Harry has resigned from royal working life.

In her new position, the Princess will be authorised to carry out most of the official duties of the sovereign, according to the Royal Family website.

This includes attending Privy Council meetings, signing routine documents and receiving the credentials of new ambassadors to the UK.

She will not be delegated Commonwealth matters however, nor be able to create peers, appoint Prime Ministers or dissolve Parliament – unless under the King’s instruction.

Beatrice, married to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, gave birth to her first child Sienna last year.

The couple married in private, due to the Covid pandemic, on July 17, 2020.

With the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Beatrice is now 9th in-line to the throne, making her daughter Sienna 10th in-line.

Sienna was christened at the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace, on 29 April 2022.

Princess Beatrice and her husband have yet to make a public statement on Her Majesty’s death, however Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi posted a tribute to the Queen’s reign on Instagram.

He shared several photo’s of Her Majesty as well as a heart-warming tribute message.

He said: “Incredibly hard to process the last 24 hours. What an incredible woman and extraordinary mark she’s left on the entire world. She was the rock on which modern Britain was built.

“Feeling very lucky that our little ones got to spend wonderful time with her this summer. Rest is Peace Your Majesty. We will miss you so much. Broken hearted.
