Proud mum Sarah Ferguson has expressed her joy of daughter Beatrice graduating from university this month.

The Duchess of York took to her twitter account to express her enthusiasm after Princess Beatrice was awarded a 2:1 in her honours degree in history at the University of London’s Goldsmiths College.

Sarah – who lovingly wore a bracelet with Beatrice’s name on it at the graduation event – tweeted: “Beatrice graduating today from Goldsmiths today. So proud of her achievement. As all mothers/parents are, well done… All graduates.”

Beatrice’s father Prince Andrew of York also attended the celebrations, which saw the 23-year-old royal – who was diagnosed with dyslexia at the young age of seven and had required extra classes to help her understand reading and writing – sporting a traditional mortar board and gown with a brown hood, the colour of a Bachelor of Arts degree from the top university.

Beatrice is now set to take up a wider role within the royal family after carrying out a series of internships.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “This will develop her experience, particularly in business and philanthropy.”

Beatrice – who is an ambassador for the Children in Crisis charity – studied classic texts from famous figures including Freud and Aristotle during her degree.
