Princess Beatrice of York

“I am greatly honoured to become Patron of The Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre. I have benefited hugely from their work, and I am looking forward to supporting them in giving a chance to others to benefit from their experience and teaching.”

“I know I'm very lucky. A lot of it is quite normal, scooting around the supermarket with a shopping trolley and things like that. With one parent being a prince and the other being an amazing sort of... business woman.”

“I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was seven, and it was a bit of a struggle to begin with. It was a challenge as I began my school career - spelling and reading was something I couldn't really get my head around.”

“Britain has trend-setting fashion, ground-breaking scientists, and innovative technology companies. It is also a welcome home for investors.”

“For me, school was a nightmare. I struggled.”

“You have to find an identity that's true to yourself. You really have to find your own voice.”

“When I was younger, I was diagnosed with dyslexia, which meant, for me, sitting in front of a book was really hard - until I discovered Harry Potter, and this character, this 11-year-old boy, who suddenly gets off to school for the first time, captured my imagination, and suddenly reading was fun. Reading was inspiring, and I was motivated.”

“My earliest memory is trying to read Beatrix Potter, and the words were literally jumping off the page.”

“Learning is the gateway to adventure.”
