Princess Beatrice

Princess Beatrice is one of the main protagonists in the American Royals. She will be the future Queen of America. If she’d been born a generation earlier, the crown would have gone to her younger brother, Prince Jefferson—but the laws have changed, and since Beatrice is the oldest child, she will someday be the  very first  Queen of America.

Early Life
Beatrice is the eldest child of three children, her younger siblings being twins Samantha and Jefferson. She grew up living in Washington Palace. Beatrice grew up being taught proper etiquette, history, languages and went through training that will one day help her take over as Queen. When she was younger she used to get into trouble with her two siblings but as time went on and she had to play the part of a proper Queen she often felt isolated and apart from her siblings who are often described of having a close twin bond.

American Royals
Beatrice is twenty-one, as usual, preparing for her life as future Queen, attending Harvard, and now looking for her future husband. When King George and Queen Adelaide set her down and give her a file of appropriate bachelors to choose from, Beatrice becomes very anxious. She is to meet the eligible men at the Queen's Ball. Being next in line to inherit the throne, all eyes have been on her, her entire life. Everyone knows what she's doing, who she's with. She has never even had a boyfriend or any type of relationship with a man like that.

In preparation for the Queen's Ball, Beatrice begins to panic and quickly asks everyone to leave the room while she catches her breath. Soon her Revere Guard Connor, comes to let the Beatrice know it is almost time to go. Connor sees Beatrice in an anxious panic and helps her calm down and helps her put her crown on. Beatrice tells Connor about her future husbands, and Connor begins to act weird. Connor and Beatrice have grown close since he became her bodyguard, he knew her better than anyone else did. Connor walks Beatrice to the Ball, following one step behind her.

During the ball, Beatrice goes around and meets every man on the list her parents approved. She notes that most of them bragged about themselves the entire night, not many standing out to her. When she meets her last bachelor Theodore Eaton, she notices how different he is to the other men she met. She even fixes his bow tie, that had been messed up (by Princess Samantha, but Beatrice does not know that). After their talk, she invites him to join her and her family at a movie premier the next weekend.

After the Ball is over, Beatrice retreats back to her room, Connor at her side. Beatrice notes that Connor is still being weird and ask him what's going on. Connor admits that he thinks the way she is finding her future husband is not right. That she will in the end not love them. Beatrice comes back saying that whoever it is she will be with she will be happy enough. This stirs up an argument between both of them, where eventually Beatrice tells him to leave. But before Connor leaves, an explosion goes off somewhere in the palace. Connor quickly jumps in front of Beatrice to protect her. Beatrice becomes very aware of the closeness of them, in any other circumstance, this would be inappropriate.

When a voice over the palace intercom comes over saying it is a false alarm, that one of the fireworks went off wrong, Beatrice and Connor release. Without second thought Beatrice kisses Connor. When she pulls away, they just stare at each other in shock of what just happened. Soon the King burst in seeing if Beatrice was alright. Connor leaves shortly after that. Leaving Beatrice to wonder if she had just messed everything up.

The next morning Beatrice gets up to go meet her father for a run, still in a daze from what happens last night she didn't realize she woke up late and missed the run. She runs into her father and Samantha coming back from the run. Beatrice mentions that she invited Theodore Eaton to come with them to the movie premiere next weekend. Samantha hears this and starts asking questions and even picks a fight with Beatrice about dating and her love life.
