"The award holds a very special place in my heart," expressed the princess, according to Hello! Magazine. "My stepson, who is now seven, and I eagerly look forward to receiving the books and going through them together. Growing up in a world surrounded by books, we can take for granted that not everyone is so lucky."

According to a press release shared by the organization, Princess Beatrice serves as a patron for the annual award, which "was set up by James Ashton and Viveka Alvestrand to celebrate magical stories and encourage parents to take time to share books with their young children."

She shared more about her and her stepson's passion by adding during the award presentation: "We need to remember in a world of screens and AI, it is moments of community, including between parents and children, that we need to keep alive."

"The Boy With Flowers In His Hair" by Jarvis, described as "a beautiful tale about friendship and being there for someone when they are at their most vulnerable," took home the top prize.

Princess Beatrice is also a mom to 1-year-old daughter Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, who she shares with her property tycoon husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. While her husband, 39, shares Wolfie with ex-girlfriend Dara Huang, a friend of the princess told PEOPLE in 2019 that she "has embraced the child as part of her life from the outset."

The couple became a blended family after tying the knot in a very small ceremony in July 2020, which was attended by Princess Beatrice's grandparents, Queen Elizabeth, and about 20 close friends and family.
