Princess Beatrice’s surprise appearance at Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and Rajwa Al Saif’s wedding on Thursday sparked a major reaction from fans.
The Princess, 34, wowed in not one but two gowns for the ceremony and the evening banquet – a silver embellished number by Needle & Thread, and a shimmering blush pink dress by Reem Acra.
And for the second time ever, Beatrice wore a tiara, bringing back her mother Sarah, Duchess of York’s sparkling headpiece that was gifted to her for her wedding day to Prince Andrew in 1986 by the late Queen Elizabeth II and the late Duke of Edinburgh.
Beatrice’s attendance at the Jordan royal wedding saw royal watchers take to social media, with many expressing the same opinion about the Princess.
“I wish Princess Beatrice was a working royal, she’s amazing at it! But I don’t blame her for wanting her career, I’m still hoping she changes her mind,” one said.
“I would love to see HRH Sophie The Duchess of Edinburgh and HRH Princess Beatrice team up for several if not many working Royal engagements. I think they would make a hit!” another agreed.
“Can we all just agree that Princess Beatrice needs to be a working royal so we can see more of her and Ed,” a third added, while another commented: “I honestly think that Princess Beatrice should become a full-time working royal. Because I think behind the scenes she actually supports her uncle and she already does amazing charity work etc.”
Beatrice does not currently carry out royal duties because she has a full-time role as Vice President of Partnerships and Strategy at tech company Afiniti, but she also has several patronages and charities she works with. Her patronages include the dyslexia charity, Helen Arkell, the Oscar’s Book Prize, and Teenage Cancer Trust.
Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mopelli Mozzi are parents to one-year-old Sienna. Property developer Edoardo also has a seven-year-old son Christopher Woolf, known as Wolfie, from his previous relationship with American architect, Dara Huang.
Edoardo proposed to Beatrice during an Italian getaway in September 2019, and the couple tied the knot in an intimate lockdown wedding in July 2020. The ceremony took place privately in Windsor, with Buckingham Palace sharing a handful of photographs after the nuptials.
