Beatrice is Ursula's egotistical mother and a socialite, and immediately disapproves of her choice of George over her former fiancé, Lyle Van de Groot.
Beatrice even threatens to castrate George if he doesn't leave Ursula alone, and tells him to leave San Francisco and go back to his jungle, and George does so after learning from Tookie Tookie that Ape was captured by Max and Thor. Next morning, Ursula found out and scolds her for what she did, and confesses that she loves George.
Much to Beatrice's dismay, Arthur supports his daughter to go after him. So in the end, Ursula and George are married anyway, and Beatrice is forced to accept it. During the wedding in the jungle, she is still irritated by the situation and is seen dancing with an ape in the ending.
===George of the Jungle 2===
Beatrice returns in the sequel, this time as the main antagonist. She is still not satisfied with Ursula ditching her high class status for George, has presumably divorced Arthur and is scheming with Lyle to get Ursula and George Jr. back to civilization, steal the deed to Ape Mountain from Ape, and rid themselves of George for good. 
When she first steps foot into the African jungles and reveals her reasoning to the jungle guides, N'Dugo, Kip and Baleto, why she does all these aforementioned actions which is because she refused the idea of George Junior growing up in the jungle "an illiterate savage", The three guides, repulsed by that remark, throw Beatrice off the cliff, but it's revealed to be their imagination, because the narrator remarks, "Sorry, we can't kill Beatrice. If she dies, we have no stories." Upon arriving at George and Ursula's treehouse during George Jr.'s fifth birthday, she gifts both Ursula and George Jr. numerous presents from San Francisco in an attempt to get them to leave for civilization, while also chastising George for his primitive ways of giving presents to his son, and urges George to abandon both Ursula and George Junior so that the two could return back to civilization. 
It is revealed however that Ape is debt-ridden and does not have the deed after all, but George does. Hence, he fly to Las Vegas to help Ape out while Beatrice finds various ways to get Ursula to leave George with the help of both Lyle, Ursula's friends, and a hypnotist named Armando, who succeeds in hypnotizing Ursula to be Lyle's wife. She then takes Ursula and George Jr. back to her home in San Francisco where George eventually rescues them after learning about Lyle’s scheme to destroy the jungle.
In the end, George saves the day, Lyle is pulled out of the story, and Beatrice, after getting kissed by a gorilla, accepts defeat with dignity once more. After her evil plot and her plan has failed George and Ursula has decided to renew wedding their vows after George give them a speech everyone cheering and Beatrice clapping her hands slowly and very not happy. She then leaves Africa and goes back to San Francisco for good.
