Beatrice, 37, the eldest daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, is fronting a campaign for the premature birth research charity Borne, whose podcast she appeared on ahead of World Prematurity Day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"getwestlondon\">The princess\u2019s own daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose, was born several weeks premature on January 22. \u201cI think so often, especially as mums, we spend our lives, you know, feeling we have to be perfect to do this,\u201d Beatrice told the special edition of The Borne Podcast published on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"getwestlondon\">\u201cAnd sometimes, when you are faced with that moment of learning that your baby\u2019s going to come a bit early, it can be incredibly lonely. And even now, talking to some of the moms who know about my work with Borne, they feel this sense of, like, sort of life changing relief that can come with knowing that there is an organisation there that is supporting the research and supporting the questions, and asking some of these important questions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"getwestlondon\">Beatrice was due to give birth to her daughter in early spring, and in December received medical advice not to travel long distances. She joined the <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mylondon.news\/all-about\/royal-family\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\">royal family<\/a> at church in Sandringham on Christmas Day after changing her travel plans from spending the festive period overseas, with doctors said to have warned that a premature arrival was a possibility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"getwestlondon\">Last week, Beatrice, who is patron of Borne, visited the charity\u2019s research laboratories at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London as part of the Every Week Counts campaign, also championed by Professor Mark Johnson and Borne ambassador Laura Tobin. She told the Borne Podcast she hopes her support of the campaign will \u201cbring as many people that have had their own stories, to come and share them\u201d, adding: \u201cThen maybe we can learn from each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"getwestlondon\">\u201cMy favourite thing about being a mum is the fact that it\u2019s like a secret, you know, it almost feels like a secret club of sharing stories,\u201d Beatrice said. \u201cAnd I love the fact that Borne is there to support them (mothers) when they\u2019re going through something incredibly traumatic, and how can we make sure that phenomenal data, great tools, great doctors, have everything at their disposal so that no Mum can feel alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"getwestlondon\">Each year, 60,000 babies are born prematurely in the UK, making for one in 13 births. Globally, 15 million babies are born early, and complications from prematurity remain the leading cause of neonatal death and lifelong disability, according to Borne.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"getwestlondon\">Yet, pregnancy and childbirth receive less than 2% of medical research funding, the charity said. \u201cI was really quite shocked to learn that we really do not have as much data with women\u2019s health, with pregnant women\u2019s health,\u201d Beatrice told The Borne Podcast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"getwestlondon\">\u201cSo I was really passionate about high quality data being able to enrich the medical field. I think the key thing is that all the scientists that we\u2019ve approached to be part of the Borne collaborative have said: look, alone, we are making no progress, but with Borne helping us to work together, we will make a difference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"getwestlondon\">\u201cWe will change what is going on in the hospitals every day all around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.mylondon.news \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The princess is supporting a new campaign Neil Shaw Assistant Editor 06:56, 17 Nov 2025 Princess Beatrice Princess Beatrice has said experiencing premature birth \u201ccan be incredibly lonely\u201d as she joins calls for increased research and support into prematurity.
