Royal sisters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have graced the pages of history thanks to their eccentric fashion choices and unwavering commitment to philanthropy.
Born to the Duke and Duchess of York, Prince Andrew and Sarah ‘Fergie’ Ferguson, Princess Beatrice Elizabeth Mary and Princess Eugenie Victoria Helena arrived on the royal stage in 1988 and 1990 respectively.
And throughout the years, both Beatrice and Eugenie have effortlessly navigated their roles in a modern monarchy, embracing the age-old traditions while also forging their own individual paths.
Both are heavily involved with various charities; for instance, Princess Beatrice is the patron of Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice, which supports children with life-shortening conditions in West Yorkshire and North Manchester, and Princess Eugenie co-founded the Anti-Slavery Collective, which aims to eradicate the global practice of millions of people being forced into labour or marriage.
Plus, both Beatrice and Eugenie have proven that they are not afraid to take risks when it comes to fashion; who could forget the bold hat choices the siblings made for Prince William and Princess Catherine’s wedding in 2011?
But their royal duties and fashion choices aside, it’s clear that Beatrice and Eugenie are extremely close and will always be there for one another.
