>Recent videos have included one captioned: ‘My family won’t even talk to me now because I have all the corona symptoms,’ while another read: ‘Can’t even smoke my weed because my cough is so bad’. Yet it seems that Michael Gove and his wife, Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine, were not impressed – all of the teenager’s videos appear to have since been wiped from her profile.
>Indeed if mother Sarah’s column is anything to go by, Beatrice certainly has a rebellious streak. In February this year, she described Beatrice as ‘funny, feisty’ and ‘when it comes to the state of her bedroom… a total and utter savage.’ She elaborated: ‘Bea — or Beast as we call her, for obvious reasons — has always been pathologically messy’, relating her impressive ‘capacity for chaos’: ‘graffiti on her walls, the stains on her carpet, the clutter of make-up and the tsunami of clothes’.
>In the same column, Beatrice offered her own take on things, stating: ‘It’s a mess, I know. The kind of chaos and clutter guaranteed to set any parent’s nerves on edge. But here’s the thing: it’s my mess’. She explained that teenagers are ‘constantly being instructed what to do and how we must do it, whether we're at home or at school. Rules, routine and order are imposed upon us at every turn. For me,’ she continued, ‘my bedroom is this one disordered thing — the place where I have control over what goes where; the part of my life I should be allowed to govern in peace.’
Keek.
