Princess Eugenie has paid
the sweetest tribute to her older sister, Princess Beatrice, in honour of
her 34th birthday on Monday.
The royal, who shares an
extremely close bond with her sibling, took to Instagram to share a lovely
series of photos of them together, including a never-before-seen snapshot with
their cousin Zara Tindall.
“Happy birthday to my
special big sissy. Love you so much,” Eugenie wrote alongside the post.
Fans were quick to comment on
the tribute message, with many wishing Beatrice many happy returns, while
others remarked on the sweet picture with Zara.
While the Princess is likely
to spend the day in private with her husband Edoardo Mapellli Mozzi and
their baby daughter Sienna, the celebrations will no doubt be extra special
this year. It marks the first time Beatrice has toasted her birthday as a
mother.
Eugenie, 32, shares an
incredibly close bond with her sister, Beatrice, with Eugenie proclaiming in an
interview with The Telegraph in 2008 that: “Mummy, Bea and I call
ourselves ‘The Tripod’, they are my best friends in the world.”
Meanwhile, Beatrice’s mother
Sarah Ferguson opened up about both of her daughters after their appearance at
the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee – and how proud she is of everything they have
achieved.
Speaking on The Graham Norton
Radio Show with Waitrose in June, Sarah confessed she “screamed at her
TV” when her daughters made their way to St Paul’s Cathedral for the
Thanksgiving Service on June 3.
“Everyone else looked a
bit… very serious and they were smiling and really thanking their grandmother
for these 70 years,” she explained, adding: “I was watching the telly
like, ‘Well done girls, you’re smiling.’ I can’t get over how beautiful my
girls look. When they went off to the Jubilee Thanksgiving Service, wasn’t that
just beautiful?

The royal sisters are extremely close
“I couldn’t get over it.
There was Beatrice in blue and Eugenie in orange and they are smiling, right.
So grateful… I was screaming at the TV.”
Of their upbringing within the
royal family, Sarah stated: “I think the way Beatrice and Eugenie are
behaving and have behaved, it’s just extraordinary.”
