Princess Beatrice is reportedly taking her duties as a royal family member to the next level. According to US Weekly, she had impressed King Charles in absence of Kate Middleton.
A close source said, "Princess Beatrice will be stepping up the number of engagements she does."
"Although the move is currently seen as a temporary unofficial role to help plug the gaps, it could become more permanent in the future."
