Donna Beatrice Borromeo (born 18 August 1985 in Innichen) is a member of the ancient House of Borromeo, and she is well known in the Italian news media as a television personality. She is the wife of Pierre Casiraghi, younger son of Caroline, Princess of Hanover.
She is the daughter of Don Carlo Ferdinando Borromeo, Count of Arona (born in 1935), the son of Vitaliano Borromeo, 2nd Prince of Angera, and his long-time companion, Countess Donna Paola Marzotto (born in 1955).
By her father's side, as a member of the Borromeo family, she's related to Carlo Borromeo (1538–1584), who became a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, Archbishop of Milan, and a canonized saint. The family currently owns the majority of the Borromean Islands in the Lago Maggiore, as many other estate properties alongside Lombardy and Piedmont countryside, plus Milan city.
She has an older brother, Carlo Ludovico Borromeo, who married Italian fashion designer Marta Ferri (born 21 July 1984, Milan), daughter of Italian photographer Fabrizio Ferri, on 30 June 2012 on the island of Pantelleria.
Beatrice has three older half-sisters from her father's first marriage to German model Marion Sybil Zota:
Her maternal grandmother was the fashion designer Marta Marzotto, ex-wife of Count Umberto Marzotto. Her uncle, Count Matteo Marzotto, is the former president and director of the Valentino fashion house at the time the label belonged to the Marzotto Group.
