Imagine being born to a famous father and being pushed in front of cameras as early as you can remember. Some kids embrace. Others hide from it.
Beatrice McCartney did the latter, which is a bummer for those who want to know what she’s doing in life. Don’t worry, though. I’ve done all the research and will tell you everything you need to know about our little friend here.
Beatrice McCartney’s Biography
McCartney? Yes, you guessed it. Beatrice McCartney is the daughter of the former Beatles member, Paul McCartney. As the daughter of one of the most influential musicians in history, you might think Beatrice has spent most of her life under the spotlight. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. Our friend enjoys a private life, away from the press and the public eye.

I didn’t come empty-handed, though. Scouring the deepest corners of the internet, I’ve come to learn that Beatrice was born on October 28, 2003, in London. That means she’s about to turn 21.
She went to Thomas Peacocke Community School. I know what you’re thinking: “How can a famous musician like Paul McCartney send his kids to a community school?” Well, it’s exactly because of his fame that he wanted his kids to have a normal life and go to normal schools.
After graduating from that school, Beatrice attended Cambridge University. Her major is still a mystery, but word on the street is that she wants to become a marine biologist. So, she’s probably studying something related.
Beatrice and Paul McCartney
Being the celebrity that he is, I know some of you might think McCartney is an absent father. Not at all. In fact, Paul didn’t hire a nanny to take care of his daughter. He did everything himself.
He made her breakfast, took her to school, talked to the teachers, and picked her up all by himself. And you know what? He loved it and didn’t get tired of it. Sure, Beatrice might he more like her mother, but she’ll always be her father’s little princess.

Beatrice McCartney’s Siblings
Beatrice doesn’t have siblings. She has half-siblings. Yes, her mother, Heather Mills, is Paul McCartney’s second wife. Let’s see what her half-siblings are like.
1. Mary Anna McCartney
Mary is Paul’s first daughter from his first marriage to Linda Eastman. Born on August 28, 1969, she came to this world just as the Beatles were breaking up. Talk about bad timing. You know how some musician’s children show an interest in pursuing music as well? That wasn’t Mary. She took after her mother, falling in love with photography and pursuing it professionally.

And let me tell you, she couldn’t have been more successful than she is right now. Her work has been displayed in prestigious galleries around the world. She also worked with some of the most influential publications on the market, including Vogue, GQ, and Sunday Times.
2. Stella Nina McCartney
Born on Sept 13, 1971, Stella quickly became aware of her family status. So, she wanted to achieve independence and separate her name from her father’s. That’s a challenging task when your father is a legendary musician, but she eventually succeeded. How? She became one of the most famous fashion designers in the world.

Stella has shown a knack for fashion design since she was 12, and it didn’t take her long to make a name for herself. She was deemed Vogue Fashion Award Designer of the Year in 2000. After 22 years of innovation and success, Stella was honored by the Queen for her contributions to the fashion industry. I don’t think I need to say more.
3. James Louis McCartney
On September 12, 1977, Paul welcomed his first son, James McCartney. Unlike the previous two, James was the first child to follow in his father’s footsteps and pursue a career in music.

Sure, he’s not Paul McCartney, but no one could ever be. James’s most popular songs include Available Light and Close at Hand. His first full-length album, Me, was released in 2013 and co-produced by his father. Yes, he may have been able to break into the music industry thanks to Paul’s help, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a good musician.
4. Heather Louise McCartney
Technically, Heather is McCartney’s eldest daughter. Then, why am I covering her last? Because she’s not his biological child. Heather is Eastman’s daughter from her first marriage. After she got divorced, she married Paul, and he officially adopted Heather. Like her siblings, she wanted to pursue a creative endeavor.

So, she studied design, printing, and pottery. She eventually became a successful ceramist and launched her own home decor collection called Heather McCartney Designs. Heather has said before that her father, mother, and siblings are her biggest inspirations. Even after Eastman died of breast cancer, Paul continued to support Heather just like he did with all his children.
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, the public doesn’t know much about Beatrice McCartney, but if there’s one thing we know, it’s that she enjoyed her father’s love every minute of her upbringing.
