Before earning her college degree, Beatrice put her acting skills to use by making her debut film appearance in The Young Victoria (2009), though the role was a non-talking one, it was enough to make her the first British royal to appear in a non-documentary film.

The Young Victoria was based on one of her most popular ancestors Queen Victoria. Since maturing into adulthood, Beatrice has attended a number of royal events with her grandmother Queen Elizabeth II. Some of those include the traditional Royal Maundy services held in York on 5 April 2012. She accompanied her father in November 2014 to the United Arab Emirates for an official engagement.
