The Princess of York and her husband are both diagnosed with dyslexia

Princess Beatrice opened up about her experiences with dyslexia in a podcast, and how she is navigating being a parent.

The Princess of York is married to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, a successful property developer who also has dyslexia, and they share a two-year-old daughter named Sienna.


To celebrate Dyslexia Awareness Week, Beatrice spoke to Kate Griggs on the podcast Lessons in Dyslexic Thinking.

She said: "As two dyslexics, we will be figuring out as parents whether or not our children have dyslexia and how best to support them.

"But I think the most important thing that I can do is hopefully if they are lucky enough to be dyslexic as well, then I feel really grateful that we can help them with resources."

The 35-year-old is an ambassador for Made by Dyslexia.

She added: "Being a part of this community, I think has given me a bit more of a better understanding and I'd really like that for all parents."

Princess Beatrice expanded on the role parents should take with their children who have dyslexia.

"Bringing parents into the conversation is really exciting because right now when a parent does find out their child is dyslexic, I don't think they are getting the right support," she commented.

"We're still very early days in what we're achieving together.

"It's quite really exciting to actually see how we can sort of do the work in order to sort of help that parent and be the best version of themselves as well."

The princess spoke about Edoardo, and how his dyslexia helps him be "creative" as an entrepreneur.

Beatrice added: "[He's] hugely creative, an incredible designer and a property developer.

"He can sort of see concepts and space in a very beautiful way and I think it's also pushed him to be the entrepreneur that he is, accepting that he needed to do things on his own.

"It's very interesting to see how many entrepreneurs are dyslexic because they recognise that maybe they do have to push the boundaries.

"Those are the ones that hopefully can get the collaboration between AI and humanity."
