Princess Beatrice, King Charles’ neice, is celebrating her 36th birthday today – but royal fans have noticed there’s something rather unusual about her special day
Princess Beatrice is celebrating her 36th birthday today, and fans have noticed something quite peculiar about her big day.
The princess, who is the niece of Prince Charles and cousin to Princes William and Harry, was born at Portland Hospital in London on August 8, 1988. She is the firstborn of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
But the royal’s birthday isn’t an ordinary one, as royal enthusiasts have pointed out a rather spooky coincidence. One person posted on X (previously known as Twitter): “August 8th 1988.
“The birth of Princess Beatrice of York, now Mrs. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, at 8:18pm the Portland Hospital in London. Beatrice is the eldest of the two daughters of the Duke and Duchess of York.”
They added: “I’m not superstitious or anything but wow…how many 8’s are linked to her birth.”
Others were quick to comment on the observation, too, with one person commenting: “Is it just me that remembers the reporting that she was induced to be born on 8.8.88 as 8 is lucky in China and they thought it would be extremely good luck? Maybe it’s one of those false memories,” prompting the original poster to respond: “Now you’ve said that, it does sounds familiar. But they were lucky with the time of birth as well.”
Others took the opportunity to send their best wishes to the princess on her special day. “Wishing HRH Princess Beatrice, Mrs Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi a very happy 36th birthday,” someone penned.
