Princess Beatrice Says It Was an "Honor" to Become a Stepmother

After Princess Beatrice tied the knot with Edoardo "Edo" Mapelli Mozzi this past summer, she officially became a stepmother to his young son, who goes by Wolfie. Now, the royal is opening up about the "honor" of assuming the role in Wolfie's life.
In an article for the Evening Standard, Beatrice marked World Book Day by reflecting on how books have helped her this past year—and how she's been able to share them with her stepson. As she wrote, "Reading stories over this last year has been the best form of adventure from the safety of our own homes."
"This year, I had the great honor to become a stepmother, and have had the most remarkable time going back over some of my most favorite stories at bedtime. Together, we had such a special time reading through all the entries for Oscars Book Prize 2020." (Beatrice is royal patron of the Oscars Book Prize, which celebrates pre-school books.)
She continued, "My stepson has been, as many children have, home schooling this term. Helping him to engage with stories is a great journey to inspire imagination, creativity, independence and humor. If you have not yet read the Oi Frog books by Kes Grey and Jim Field, they have fast become our favorite." She also called out Tad by Benji Davies, which she described as "a remarkable story of resilience told through the adventures of Tad the little tadpole who was one of the smallest but one of the bravest in the pond."
