Like her mother, Princess Beatrice is instantly recognizable with her long red hair and prominent hazel eyes.
In general, Princess Beatrice and her family prefer privacy.
“They are both formidable women.”
Despite this endearing rapport, Princess Beatrice was one of the first people to leave Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
As seen in the video, someone stepped out of the crowd to help her find her seat.
She was forced to wade back through the line of panelists to get to the proper spot.
It was definitely not her smoothest entrance.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie both made appearances at the festivities.
When Princess Beatrice approached one table, a woman asked her, “Who are you?”
From there, things only got more awkward for her.
“You’re one of the royalties?”
“What relation are you?”
The princess had to repeat herself multiple times before the woman understood who she was.
Sorry, Princess Beatrice!
Her mom, Sarah Ferguson, was first out of the car (viaYouTube).
During the ceremony, Princess Beatrice couldn’t sit still (viaYouTube).
She adjusted papers, wrung her hands, and rocked between each leg.
Our best guess is she was nervous about the speech she would later deliver which she completely nailed.
On the steps of the chapel, everyone seemed to know their place to stand … except Princess Beatrice.
After that, she drifted around on the landing, seeming unsure where to settle.
All in all, this moment definitely made us wince.
“It’s the most glamorous Wendy house ever!”
For her part, Princess Beatrice seemed so focused on the discussion she didn’t even notice.
Next time, we hope the videographer sets the camera a little higher up, just in case.
Apparently, viewers and editorial writers alike banded together to share their distaste for the interesting choice of hat.
Some were reminded of cake decorations or pretzels, while others considered it generally tacky.
“I was able to raise awareness about some incredible issues by using humour.”
When her carriage first pulled into the circle, everything seemed fine.
The lead horse almost trampled one of the handlers and spooked the other three horses into jumping the curb.
Next to her, the late Princess Diana supervised school-age Prince Harry.
Both kids were fidgeting like wildly, clearly fed up with the royal event they were attending.
When Harry turned around to look at Princess Beatrice, she took a swipe at his shoulder.
In return, he elbowed her a few times.
Princess Diana intercepted before it turned into an all-out fight by lifting Harry up by the armpits.
Princess Beatrice got one last swipe in before he moved out of reach.
She eventually turned to her mom’s hat for entertainment.
Do you think either of them remembers this encounter?
You have to get the lighting, angle, and leg positions just right.
With a “deer in the headlights” expression and an awkward half-smile, she appeared overwhelmed and nervous.
May your picture day never be as uncomfortable as this one!
The queen, as usual, was hard to read.
The mother of the bride, like much of the audience, looked earnestly moved.
Was she trying to catch Meghan Markle’s eye?
Or was she trying to get a glimpse of other royal reactions to the bishop’s emotional speech?
Either way, the camera operator’s timing couldn’t have been better.
