“Eugenie and Sarah both have official social media accounts and it is something Beatrice has been asked about many times.

“Although Bea has been a bit apprehensive in the past, there are tentative plans to launch an official Instagram account to accompany the birth of her second child.”

The source continued to tell The Express: “Beatrice is being encouraged to showcase her charitable endeavours which will shine a better light on the York family as a whole.

“She’s also been told that it might be nice to show off a bit more of her family because she’s been quite closed up until recently.”
