Compared to some members of the Royal Family, Princess Beatrice has historically kept a low profile. And that has helped her avoid many potential scandals in the press, especially after her connections between her father, Prince Andrew, and Jeffrey Epstein became public knowledge.
Still, low profile or not, Beatrice has had a life rigorously documented by photographs. This means there is a record of some of the best moments of her life, which is always great. But it also means the internet now has many photos of the young princess she’d rather keep secret.
Just what are the photos of Princess Beatrice she never wanted you to see? Keep reading to discover the answers!
Newborn princess
It’s always weird for kids to look back on when they were born. Nonetheless, this 1988 photo captures what Beatrice was like as a newborn.
Getting baptized
Baptism and other religious traditions are very important to the Royal Family. Here, we see Beatrice about to get baptized, and she looks a bit unsure about the whole proceeding. Meanwhile, her dad looks like he’s about to ask about the meaning of life!
Gone skiing
Look, we’ll admit that it’s hard for anybody to look good while wearing ski gear. But on this particular family vacation to Switzerland, Beatrice looks more than a bit like a cartoon character!

Red sweater daze
Beatrice discovered early on that red was her color, and she rocked it whenever she could. But we have to say that this red sweater makes her look old before her time, and the young princess is dressed like that crazy lady down the street that always wants to read your aura.
Too cool for school
It’s always a bit weird for school classmates to grow up surrounded by members of the Royal Family. And on this particular day in 1991, Beatrice decided to remember everyone that she was the definitive cool kid of the entire class.
Mugging with her sister
Growing up, Beatrice had to put up with the classic indignity of her parents dressing her and her sister in matching outfits. Here, the two girls show us exactly what they think about that by making these crazy faces.
A little too much Christmas cheer
Once Beatrice started attending Christmas Day service at Sandringham Church, many in attendance would present her with gifts. She’s probably supposed to keep a stiff upper lip about the whole thing, but she looks really jazzed to have gotten all these cool presents.

Throwback fashion
Honestly, Beatrice looks pretty good in this photo from the year 2000. But we have a feeling she’d cringe seeing this new millennium fashion just like the rest of us do looking at our old photos.
Frowning the Colour
Normally, Beatrice and Eugenie both ride a carriage together for the annual Trooping the Colour event. This is meant to be a happy occasion, but you wouldn’t know it to see either girl’s face. Then again, after we all saw Prince Louis freak out at one of these events, we can probably agree that the occasional tight frown is preferable.
Colorful fashion choices
When her cousin was getting married, Beatrice had to pick an outfit to go along with his butterfly theming. She certainly found something theme-appropriate (heck, we’re pretty sure the Monarch from The Venture Bros. would kill for this outfit), but she doesn’t look super happy to be wearing it!
A marathon of regrets
It’s obviously an honor for anyone to complete the London Marathon, and Beatrice should certainly be proud of herself. She was probably less proud to wear this goofy outfit as part of the event, though. Although thanks to this image, it’s now pretty easy for the average person to cosplay as Beatrice.

The hats keep getting crazier
Royal outfits are supposed to be over-the-top, but when William and Kate got married, both Beatrice and Eugenie took things to the next level. Honestly, each of these hats looks like it could be right out of anime. And we’re not sure the militaries of the world have enough combined strength to defeat these hats if they decide to become evil.
Embracing the goofy hats
At some point, growing up means figuring out what kind of person you are. And Beatrice finally faced the music and realized that she’s a crazy hat girl. And hey, they look good on her, so more power to this princess.
Looking silly next to mom
It turns out that you’re never too old to take a cringeworthy picture with your mom! Beatrice looks lovely in this photo from Eugenie’s wedding day, but her face tells us she wishes her mother wasn’t making such a goofy expression.
