Beatrice dei Principi Borromeo Arese Taverna is an Italian journalist and model. Born in South Tyrol into an aristocratic family, she studied law at Bocconi University in 2010 before earning a master's degree in journalism at Columbia University in 2012. Borromeo subsequently worked for il Fatto Quotidiano before becoming a columnist for Newsweek and Daily Beast in 2013. She also worked as a broadcast journalist for Anno Zero on Rai 2 and hosted a weekly show on the Radio 105 Network. Borromeo married Pierre Casiraghi, a son of Caroline, Princess of Hanover, in 2015; they have two children. She became an ambassador for the fashion brand Dior in 2021.
Borromeo 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). Through her father she is related to Carlo Borromeo (1538–1584), who became a cardinal of the Catholic Church, Archbishop of Milan, and a canonized saint. The family currently owns most of the Borromean Islands in the Lago Maggiore, Milan city, and many other estates in the Lombardy and Piedmont countrysides.
Borromeo has an older brother, Carlo Ludovico Borromeo, who is married to Marta Ferri. She has three older half-sisters from her father's marriage to German model Marion Sybil Zota: Isabella, married to Count Ugo Brachetti Peretti; Lavinia, married to John Elkann; and Matilde, married to Prince Antonius zu Fürstenberg.
Borromeo's maternal grandmother was the fashion designer Marta Marzotto (née Vacondio), 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.
