Royal fans were delighted to see Princess Beatrice carry out an engagement after she was handed a special new role by King Charles. The eldest daughter of disgraced Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was appointed Deputy Patron of The Outward Bound Trust, six years after her father stepped down as its Royal Patron after the furore due to his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew’s replacement was also announced, his brother, Prince Edward, during a poignant event for the charity’s supporters at St James’s Palace in London on Thursday. Beatrice looked chic in a brown check midi dress by Self-Portrait, a brand also favoured by the Princess of Wales, and a pair of black heels.
She kept her make-up fresh with a soft smoky eye and let her auburn locks down in loose waves.
Royal fans were happy to see the princess out and about and took to social media to praise her.
One user wrote on X: “I’m really in love with this dress. Looks amazing, and so good to see Beatrice out and about!!”
Another one opined: “Good for her choosing a look that is fashionable but almost screams I am the most well-behaved member of my birth family! God bless her.”
A third one said: “After what must have been a hard week for Princess Beatrice well done her for attending the event and looking so lovely in this dress.”
A fourth one chimed: “Lovely to see Princess Beatrice.”
A fifth one agreed: “Lovely! And lovely to see her with her uncle.”
The Outward Bound Trust is a charity with the aim of inspiring young people to realise their potential through learning and adventure in the wild. After Andrew stepped down in 2019, the charity had two Deputy Patrons, Sir Chris Bonington and Lord Kirkham.
Beatrice, who had already served as a Trustee for the charity for six years, and Edward, are following in the footsteps of Prince Philip, who had a longstanding support for Outward Bound.
The charity said that it’s “delighted” with the new announcement, adding that they have “signalled the start of a new chapter in its mission to support a more adventurous generation, helping young people say yes to challenge and discover what they’re truly capable of.”
During the poignant event in London, one of the students, Sadie, 18, gave Edward a rowan tree sapling – a symbol of strength, courage and resilience.
Leo, also 18, gave Beatrice a Celtic brooch, representing unity, continuity and good fortune.
