"You continue to inspire me and those around you with your warmth, curiosity, and zest for life. I love you. Happy birthday."

The Duchess of York, 64, shares her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, with her ex-husband, Prince Andrew.

A friend of the princess told People in 2019 that she "has embraced the child as part of her life from the outset."

The Princess had previously expressed the love of reading she shares with her stepson. While announcing the winner of the 2023 Oscar's Book Prize winner, she said: "The award holds a very special place in my heart."

"My stepson, who is now seven, and I eagerly look forward to receiving the books and going through them together. Growing up in a world surrounded by books, we can take for granted that not everyone is so lucky.

"We need to remember in a world of screens and AI, it is moments of community, including between parents and children, that we need to keep alive."

Princess Beatrice is known to share a tight bond with her mother and sister, especially after her mother's diagnosis with an aggressive form of skin cancer.

Speaking to Hello! earlier this year, Fergie said: "I have always brought up my girls to be so honest and frank that they know I’m going to tell it to them straight, however difficult it is,.

"So when they said, 'Mummy, tell us the absolute truth — have they got all the cancer out?' and the answer was yes, they knew they were safe.

"I have the most exceptional family and I have an extraordinarily great team and I have an enormous ability to turn to joy."
