A picture of regal elegance in a blush-pink and gold Reem Acra gown and the York Tiara, Princess Beatrice was the perfect style ambassador for the royal family at the wedding of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan to Saudi architect Rajwa Alseif.

Her attendance at the Jordanian royal palace in June was one of several appearances the Princess has made in support of the King, despite not carrying out official duties.

But Beatrice, who turned 35 last week, has also been finding fulfilment away from her royal duties, with her joy at being a mother to daughter Sienna, who turns two next month, as well as happiness in her marriage to property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

Her mother, Sarah, Duchess of York, has spoken of the contentment felt by both Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie, who has sons August, two, and Ernest, who arrived in May, with husband Jack Brooksbank.

"I'm delighted that my children, who work so hard, are able to have their pods of family and now they are living the dream," she said. "I believe that my children have got beautiful, lovely happiness in them and I love that."

FAMILY PHOTO FUN

Celebrating Beatrice's big day last week, Sarah and Eugenie took to Instagram to share special photos and messages.

"Happy birthday to my big sissy... love you so much," wrote Eugenie, 33, alongside a photo of the sisters laughing together on a windswept beach, while Sarah posted two throwback photos, one showing her elder daughter aged eight, wearing pink sunglasses in the back of her father the Duke of York's Aston Martin.

"Happy birthday Beatrice. You'll always be my girl," the proud mum wrote.

As happy as Beatrice is at being a parent, she must also take great delight in watching her own mother embracing the role of grandmother, with Sarah saying babysitting Sienna reminded her of raising her own two.
