Princess Beatrice issues passionate rallying call at conference in Abu Dhabi: 'Come along on the journey'

This comes just one week after the royal's trip to Saudi Arabia for the Future Investment Initiative.

Jennifer Gnana, a reporter based in the Middle East, claimed the pregnant mother-of-one has become a "culture ambassador of sorts for the UK in the Middle East".

Beatrice, who works as the vice president of tech company Afiniti, took to the stage in Abu Dhabi to issue a powerful rallying call.

Speaking during a dedicated ADIPEC session on the role of AI in transforming society, Her Royal Highness spoke on the value of an inclusive approach to AI.

Beatrice said: “We need to have everyone’s voice at the table.

"We need to have the energy sector, we need to have the AI companies, we need to have the individuals, but most importantly we also need the consumers as well, to come along on that journey with us.”

Despite her patronages and frequent appearances at royal events, Princess Beatrice is not technically a working royal like her cousin Prince William and his wife, Princess Kate.

Instead, Princess Beatrice and her sister, Princess Eugenie, make their living through their day jobs.

Beatrice works as the Vice President of Partnerships & Strategy at software firm Afiniti.

Speaking at the launch of the Youth Impact Council in New York City in September, Princess Beatrice's mother, Sarah Ferguson, praised her daughters' drive.

"Eugenie does a lot with The Anti-Slavery Collective, Beatrice does an enormous amount in technology and with dyslexia and really believes in humanity in the workplace, with compassion."
