Princess Beatrice Flew Economy and Carried Her Own Luggage En Route to Speaking on a Panel About AI at Cannes Lions

Princess Beatrice may be just that—a princess—but she’s anything but high-maintenance while traveling, apparently. En route to the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity—a film festival that kicked off yesterday in Cannes, France and runs until June 21, this Friday—Beatrice flew in on an economy flight and was perfectly content to carry her own luggage, Beatrice, despite recent pleas to change this fact, is not a working royal; instead, she is employed as Vice President of Partnerships and Strategy for the software brand Afiniti. With that in mind, it makes sense that she came to Cannes to participate in the “Emotional Intelligence in the AI Age” panel at Journal House alongside Spotify’s Chief Public Affairs Officer Dustee Jenkins, whom Beatrice called her “hero.”
