As a male-line grandchild of a sovereign, Beatrice was known as "Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice of York" at birth, the territorial designation coming from her father's title, Duke of York.{{cite news|url=https://www.royal.uk/court-circular?text=&mrf=&date%5Bmin%5D%5Bdate%5D=29%2F05%2F2019&date%5Bmax%5D%5Bdate%5D=29%2F05%2F2019&id=|title=Court Circular|date=29 May 2019|newspaper=The Royal Family}} Since her marriage, she has been styled "Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice, Mrs Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi" in the Court Circular.{{cite web |title=Annex D: The Royal Family |url=https://www.royal.uk/sites/default/files/media/annex_d_-_royal_family_11.pdf |access-date=9 December 2020 |website=The Royal Family}}

The use of three bees in her arms continues the trend in royal heraldry (cf. the arms of Prince Harry) of using charges from the maternal line: her mother's coat of arms features a bee. It can also be considered a pun on the name Beatrice, an unusual example of canting in modern royal arms.
