Princess Beatrice of Bourbon-Parma (9 January 1879 â 11 March 1946) was a member of the House of Bourbon-Parma. She was the daughter of Robert I, Duke of Parma and his first wife, Princess Maria Pia of the Two Sicilies.
Princess Beatrice was born in Biarritz, France, during her family's period of exile following the Unification of Italy. She was the tenth child of her parents. Following the death of her mother in 1882 and her father's remarriage to Infanta Maria Antónia of Portugal, she was raised alongside a total of 23 siblings and half-siblings, including the future Empress Zita of Austria.
On 12 August 1906, at Schloss Schwarzau, Beatrice married Pietro Lucchesi-Palli (1870âÂÂ1939), Count of Lucchesi-Palli and Prince of Campo Franco. Her husband was a grandson of Princess Caroline, Duchess of Berry. Through this marriage, Beatrice became part of the prominent Lucchesi-Palli family.
The couple resided primarily in Austria, where they managed family estates. Beatrice survived the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and remained in the country through the interwar years. She died in Mureck, Styria, on 11 March 1946, shortly after the end of World War II.
