Pregnant Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie Have First Girls' Day Out Since Baby News
The royal sisters were out and about at an art fair in London
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie stepped out for a sisters' day after Buckingham Palace announced that Beatrice is pregnant with her second baby.
On Oct. 9, the royal sisters attended the Frieze Art Fair 2024 VIP preview in Regents Park, London. The festival, touted as one of the world's "most influential contemporary art fairs," likely made for a fun day out for the royal sisters, as it seemed to align with family interests.
Princess Eugenie works as a director at art gallery Hauser & Wirth, while Princess Beatrice's husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, is a property developer whose firm's services include interior design.
Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 34, were all smiles as they were photographed (separately) at the event, which the Daily Mail reported was also attended by actor Benedict Cumberbatch and tennis star Emma Raducanu (who has previously played tennis with Kate Middleton).

The art fair was a meaningful outing for the royal sisters, as it marked their first joint appearance since the palace announced that Beatrice is expecting her second baby.
On Oct. 1, Buckingham Palace shared the news that Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's elder daughter and her husband are expecting. Princess Beatrice and Edo, 40, wed in July 2020 and share daughter Sienna, 3, and Christopher Woolf, 8, Edo's son from a previous relationship.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child together early in the new year; a sibling for Wolfie and Sienna," said the statement from Buckingham Palace.
"His Majesty The King has been informed and both families are delighted with the news," it continued, referring to Beatrice's uncle, King Charles.
The update came with two new photos of Beatrice and Edo's family. The first shot showed the couple holding each other close, followed by a second snap of Edo walking in the woods with both of his kids, holding hands.

"When I was Instagramming that photo, I rang her, and I was like, 'What do you want me to say?' " Eugenie explained. "She said, 'Can't wait to talk about the trials and tribulations of motherhood.’ "
"I posted about our mothering journey, because it really is like you become part of a club — a mothering club. And when your children are the same age and they're going through the same things, it's just the luckiest thing in the world… And Bea's my big sister, I talk to her about everything," she said.
Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank share sons August, 3, and Ernest, 1. When Beatrice's new baby arrives in 2025, the child is expected to enter as 11th in the British line of succession to the throne. The little one will also inherit a minor royal title from Edo's side of the family, as he is descended from Italian aristocracy.
