Bea's ignorance is shown by the fact she thinks Prince Philip (to whom she refers as the king) is dead. She also does not know the correct pronunciation of Fauntleroy and says Fauntelroy. Marcus corrects her on this although she appears unable to take it on board. She was ignorant of the fact that Stevie Wonder was both blind and black! After leaving Cheltenham Ladies College she did her A levels at Malvern Girls' College but upon obtaining poor results was obliged to apply to a very low ranking university (Worcester) where entry requirements are low. As a child she was schemining and manipulative with no emotional intelligence-so nothing has changed.
