“The birth of Princess Beatrice of York, now Mrs. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, at 8:18pm the Portland Hospital in London. Beatrice is the eldest of the two daughters of the Duke and Duchess of York.”
They added: “I’m not superstitious or anything but wow…how many 8’s are linked to her birth.”
Others were quick to comment on the observation, too, with one person commenting: “Is it just me that remembers the reporting that she was induced to be born on 8.8.88 as 8 is lucky in China and they thought it would be extremely good luck?
“Maybe it’s one of those false memories,” prompting the original poster to respond: “Now you’ve said that, it does sounds familiar. But they were lucky with the time of birth as well.”
Meanwhile Beatrice’ sweet mother Sarah Ferguson wished her stunning daughter with a heartfelt birthday wish.
