Sarah Ferguson has shared a delightful childhood photo of her daughters on Instagram to celebrate Princess Beatrice’s 36th birthday.
The Duchess of York, who is 64 years old, posted a charming black-and-white image of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie from their younger years.
In the photo, the sisters are snuggled close, with a beaming Beatrice appearing to whisper to Eugenie. Although Eugenie’s face is mostly hidden, Beatrice, with her long hair tied back, looks directly at the camera. The photo quickly became a hit, garnering over 3,000 likes within an hour.
In her post, Sarah Ferguson praised her eldest daughter with a heartfelt message.
She wrote, “Happy birthday my wonderful Beatrice. You are the most amazing daughter, mother, stepmother, sister, wife, and woman! I feel so privileged to learn from you every day.
You continue to inspire me and everyone around you with your warmth, curiosity, and zest for life. I love you. Happy birthday.”
Celebrating Beatrice’s Family
Princess Beatrice is married to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and is a stepmother to his eight-year-old son, Christopher ‘Woolfie’ Woolf. The couple also has a two-year-old daughter, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi.
Sarah’s tribute has sparked a flurry of comments from royal enthusiasts, with many sending their birthday wishes to Beatrice and praising her as a “phenomenal woman.”
Style Evolution
Recently, Beatrice was named the best-dressed person of 2024 by Tatler, a notable shift from her previous fashion missteps. For instance, her Philip Treacy headpiece at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s 2011 wedding was criticized for its pretzel-like appearance.
However, Beatrice’s fashion sense has significantly improved, thanks to celebrity stylist Olivia Buckingham.
Buckingham, who also styles Carey Mulligan, Poppy Delevingne, and Nicky Hilton, has helped Beatrice embrace haute couture.
Last year, Beatrice made a stunning impression in a satin gown by Lebanese designer Reem Acra at the wedding of Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa of Jordan.
Paired with the glittering York Tiara, it was one of her most memorable looks. Beatrice’s refined style now contrasts with her earlier eclectic choices, which included bold color clashes and quirky headpieces.
Unlike the late Queen Elizabeth and Kate Middleton, known for their colorful wardrobes, Beatrice prefers soft, muted tones and delicate floral patterns.
