Princess Beatrice opens up about troubled childhood: “They were so far ahead”
Princess Beatrice has everything to look forward to, but she has touched upon her childhood days in a heartfelt clip for charity.
The royal opened up about her own “challenges” with dyslexia while studying in school in a new interview, where she admitted what she would want to tell her younger self.
“I was very lucky, I got to go to a school that was very nurturing and supporting [but] I would describe the actual day-to-day learning side of things — very challenging,” the 31-year-old said.
Princess Beatrice who is the Patron for Made By Dyslexia spoke on an experience she had as a child: "We had different coloured books to describe where your reading levels had got to, and I was always on the white books and my best friends were always on the yellow books or the green books, they were so far ahead.
"And I think at that stage, those moments of doubt just pop into your head: 'I'm not good enough, I'm not smart enough, why am I not like the others?' I think when you're in the classroom those moments are very defining," she admits.
Princess Beatrice continued on by admitting she would tell her younger self to take challenging experiences as “lessons.”
"I think if I were to say to my younger self 'do not be defined by those moments that happened to you in that exam or that classroom, because they are life-long learnings'. They are lessons you carry with you and they build you up to be who you are."
The royal finished the clip with an emotional sentiment: "It is not something that is wrong with you.
"It's a great part of how your brain works and everybody's brain works incredibly differently. There is nothing wrong, there is just everything that is so right."
