When the multi-talented Sarah Ferguson signed on to produce The Young Victoria, it provided Princess Beatrice with the chance to try her hand at acting.

According to Express, the 2009 film saw the 31-year-old playing a lady-in-waiting to Queen Victoria (who just so happens to be named after one of the monarch’s grandchildren).

In fact, according to Express, the 93-year-old gave her blessing for The Crown to be produced.
