Princess Beatrice seemingly urged for a united effort into building a more reliable and safer environment to people to exist.

The Princess of York, despite the slew of scandals continuing to plague her father Duke of York’s reputation, has offered support and sympathy to the disgraced royal as he deals with his ongoing rift with King Charles.

The elder daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, who was missing from a key royal calendar event on Monday, attended London’s Tech Week for an important discussion.

Princess Beatrice works as a strategist at a technology firm and she discussed the how the online community can benefit humans and how AI can be used as a supportive tool, rather than a replacement for humans with Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales.

“Really what we need is more community online,” Beatrice said during the discussion, via the Wikimedia Foundation. “Spaces for people to come together and discuss and arrive at content decisions and platform rules that feel right to them.”

The 36-year-old royal added that “also how you build trust among people”. They discussed how an improved web could “fight disinformation, improve knowledge equity, and expand digital inclusion across 300+ languages”.

The chat came just months after the royal family came under a national security threat courtesy of Andrew – his close confidante was discovered to be a Chinese spy who visited the royal palaces at several occasions.

Andrew denied being aware of his ‘friend’ Yang Tengbo’s alter-ego. Despite that, Andrew was swiftly uninvited from all royal family events at the end of last year.

Moreover, the King, along with his heir, Prince William, were determined to finally remove Andrew from the royal fold for good after his latest stunt.

While Andrew was invited to the Garter Day Windsor Castle reception on Monday, he was kept away from the public eye to not cause any more bad PR. However, the matter of his titles continues to hang in balance.
