Early life
editPrincess Beatrice was born in Biarritz, France, during her family's period of exile following the Unification of Italy.[1] She was the tenth child of her parents. Following the death of her mother in 1882 and her father's remarriage to Infanta Maria Antónia of Portugal, she was raised alongside a total of 23 siblings and half-siblings, including the future Empress Zita of Austria.[2]
Marriage and later life
editOn 12 August 1906, at Schloss Schwarzau, Beatrice married Pietro Lucchesi-Palli (1870–1939), Count of Lucchesi-Palli and Prince of Campo Franco. Her husband was a grandson of Princess Caroline, Duchess of Berry. Through this marriage, Beatrice became part of the prominent Lucchesi-Palli family.[3]
The couple resided primarily in Austria, where they managed family estates. Beatrice survived the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and remained in the country through the interwar years. She died in Mureck, Styria, on 11 March 1946, shortly after the end of World War II.
