- Princess Beatrice revealed she felt "incredibly lonely" after the premature birth of her daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose, on 22 January.

- Beatrice has partnered with Borne, a premature birth research charity, to campaign for increased research and awareness into prematurity.
- As patron of Borne, she visited their laboratories and spoke on their podcast, highlighting the critical need for better data in women's health and collaborative research.
