Princess Beatrice is sharing her love of reading — both on her own and with her new stepson — and it’s a rare glimpse into her private life. In an article written for the Evening Standard in celebration of World Book Day, the Royal is opening up about reading to her stepson, 4-year-old Christopher Mapelli Mozzi.

Beatrice married her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, in a secret wedding ceremony last summer. Her husband had a son with his ex-partner, Dara Huang, so when Beatrice tied the knot, she became a stepmom, too — and it’s clear she relishes the role. She shared in her article for the Evening Standard, “This year, I had the great honour to become a stepmother, and have had the most remarkable time going back over some of my most favourite stories at bedtime.” Don’t we all just love reliving our favorite childhood books?
