Princess Beatrice is expecting her first child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in the autumn of this year, and royal fans have been going wild for her stunning maternity wardrobe.

Stepping out on Saturday in an elegant printed gown, the expectant mum attended a women's empowerment event hosted by LaPorsche Thomas. She attended as part of her role as Vice President of Partnerships & Strategy at Afiniti.

LaPorsche paid tribute to her close friend, writing: "Her in all of her official princessness and me in all of my queendom! You all may know her as Princess Beatrice York of the British Royal Family. As for me, she's known as 'Girl Bea.'"

She added: "Leave it to me to accidentally become homegirls with a whole princess in line for the throne."

Princess Beatrice was a radiant mother-to-be in the photos, in which she wore a star-printed black dress that perfectly highlighted her blossoming bump.

Royal fans also loved the photo, as one commented: "HRH looks lovely as ever. You too. The Princess and her bump are the best pics I could wish to see this weekend, thanks for sharing!"

Beatrice's classic spotted dress is a number from one of her favourite brands, Maje, of which her sell-out cardigan proved to be a key factor for disguising her pregnancy bump before the couple were ready to officially announce their news.
