Princess Beatrice stepped out on Tuesday for the first time in her newly appointed role as patron of the British Skin Foundation.
Speaking about her new patronage, the Princess said: “I am so pleased to be able to support the work of the British Skin Foundation. I have admired their work and research for many years, and they have helped so many people through the foundation’s pioneering efforts. I am grateful to be working with them, to learn as much as I can about their ground-breaking endeavours.”
The royal looked elegant in a printed midi dress and a black blazer for her visit, and one point donned a lab coat as she toured the Centre For Cell Biology and Cutaneous Research with British Skin Foundation’s CEO, Matthew Patey.
Mr Patery said of the charity’s new royal patron: “We very much welcome HRH Princess Beatrice’s involvement as our new Patron. 60 per cent of British people currently suffer from or have suffered with, a skin disease or skin cancer with many being physically or emotionally affected for life. HRH Princess Beatrice’s support will continue to bring an invaluable focus on the important work we do in trying to alleviate this suffering.”
The year has certainly got off to an exciting start for the Yorks. Last month, it was announced that Beatrice’s younger sister, 32-year-old Princess Eugenie is expecting her second baby with husband Jack Brooksbank.
