Princess Beatrice appeared to have sent a strong message as new details emerge about her royal privileges, courtesy of her uncle, King Charles.
It was previously believed that Princess Beatrice and Eugenie, along with other non-working members of the family, had been paying market rent for their grace-and-favour homes. However, a new report by the National Audit Office (NAO) discovered that it was not the case.
The revelation was not met lightly as public and experts made criticism about the move. Soon after, a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace stressed that they were “grateful” for the report “in line with the Royal Household’s commitment to transparency”.
Although, Beatrice, who appeared in stress in the months following the release of Epstein files and her father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest, is now shrugging off the naysayers.
The 37-year-old royal was seen in a lavish party, rubbing shoulders with American socialites for a New York-based fashion brand Alice + Olivia on Thursday.
The outing was very much an indication of ‘keep calm and carry on’ amid the ongoing drama.
Beatrice was dressed in a black bejewelled dress paired with a matching cropped jacket. She posed with Nicky Hilton and Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath.
While Eugenie has been holding up comparatively better than her sister, Beatrice has reportedly gone through an emotional phase as Andrew’s arrest started affecting her marital life as well. Beatrice is also a mum to two young girls and she herself experienced a complicated pregnancy journey for her second-born.
Hence, the latest appearance shows that she is now finally having some semblance of normalcy in her life in the public. Moreover, the reassuring statement from Buckingham Palace also shows that the King’s nieces are protected.
