Princess Beatrice: Single And Stepping Into A New Chapter

Now that Princess Beatrice's younger sister, Princess Eugenie, is engaged, everyone is buzzing with curiosity about whether Beatrice is next in line for love. But let’s be real here, can’t we just let her live her life? More specifically, folks are wondering if the royal has a boyfriend these days.

Turns out, Beatrice is currently flying solo, but she wasn’t always single. For a decade, Beatrice, 29, was in a relationship with Dave Clark. Their unexpected breakup in the summer of 2016 left many fans heartbroken. It’s been a while since then, and she's now embracing her independence with grace and determination.

When their relationship ended, sources revealed that after ten years together, Beatrice and Dave had to question why they weren’t married yet. They decided to take a step back and reflect on their future. According to a source from the Daily Mail, "After ten years together, Beatrice and Dave had to wonder why they were not married. They talked it through and decided to take time apart to reflect on the future. They remain friends and the decision to break up was mutual." It's clear that both parties handled the situation with maturity and respect.

Beatrice reportedly gave Dave an ultimatum following the birth of Princess Charlotte. Since her birth pushed Beatrice further down the line of succession, she no longer needed Queen Elizabeth’s permission to marry. "Beatrice has become a lot more assertive and confident recently. She gave Dave an ultimatum, but it backfired because he did not ask her to marry him. They both agreed that with no marriage in their future, it was time to go separate ways," a source shared. Sometimes, even the best-laid plans don’t work out, and it’s important to recognize when it’s time to move on.

After their breakup, insiders revealed that they still kept in touch. "They had a very co-dependent relationship, so they haven’t yet managed to completely cut off contact," the source explained. "They speak occasionally and they sometimes refer to the split as 'a break.' But it has been over for a month now and there doesn’t seem to be any reconciliation on the cards." Adding another twist to the story, just months later, Dave got engaged to New York advertising executive Lynn Anderson after dating for only four months. Life moves fast, and sometimes it throws you curveballs you don’t see coming.

Since her breakup, Beatrice has thrown herself into her career and passions. She works at Afiniti.com, an American software company, and resides in Manhattan. Her dedication to her work is inspiring, and she’s also actively involved with organizations like the York Musical Society and the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre. Recently, she was spotted with 31-year-old American oil heir, Michael Hess, who happens to be a close friend of Dave’s. Who knows where this new connection might lead?

With Eugenie’s wedding on the horizon, Beatrice will likely focus on being the best Maid of Honor possible. We can assume she’ll be Eugenie’s choice, and who wouldn’t want her by their side on such an important day? After the wedding, we hope Beatrice takes her time to find someone who truly matches her vibrant spirit and kind heart. Love comes when you least expect it, and we’re rooting for her to find it!
