Princess Beatrice recently opened up about a learning disability she struggled with as a child and how she plans to help her own kids with the same condition, should they inherit it.

In honor of Dyslexia Awareness Month, the mother of two appeared on the Made By Dyslexia podcast on Tuesday. Beatrice was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was 7 years old, and she recalled what it was like to struggle in school as a child. With the support and encouragement of her mom, Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson, the Princess of York was able to see her dyslexia as a challenge, but not a limitation.

“My family and I are incredibly close, so I would say that all throughout our lives, we’ve been able to go through everything together with humor and with joy,” Beatrice shared. She added, “My mum really instilled that.”

Speaking about the way Fergie taught her to view the learning disability, Beatrice explained, “It was like, ‘Oh no, we’ll just do this another way, of course we’ll do it another way’. And inspiring that in me really has created that methodology for life.”

In addition to the princess being diagnosed with the learning disability, her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi also has dyslexia. The couple shares a 2-year-old daughter named Sienna, as well as a 7-year-old son named Christopher from Edoardo’s previous relationship.

Beatrice candidly spoke about her positive outlook on their children potentially inheriting dyslexia as well. “As two dyslexics, we will be figuring out as parents whether or not our children have dyslexia and how best to support them,” she said. “But I think the most important thing that I can do is hopefully if they are lucky enough to be dyslexic as well, then I feel really grateful that we can help them with resources,” the Princess of York concluded.
