Princess Beatrice is bringing her royal family duties to the next level, Us Weekly can confirm.

“Beatrice will be stepping up the number of engagements she does,” a source close to her mother, Sarah Ferguson, tells Us days after the Daily Mail reported that Beatrice, 35, will have a bigger role within the monarchy as the royal family’s health crises continues.

 

The insider made it clear that Beatrice “will not stand in” for Princess Kate Middleton, but her newfound role will be “to help the royals out and be available to do more.”

 

Beatrice’s cousin-in-law Kate, 42, stepped back from her public duties earlier this year after undergoing a planned abdominal surgery in January. The following month, Beatrice stepped out at a public event taking place during Student Mental Health Week as the Princess of Wales was recovering.
