Princess Beatrice attended the final day of Royal Ascot alongside her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi wearing a regal printed dress. The mother-of-one followed in The Duchess of Cambridge’s footsteps by opting for polka dots – which is clearly a print favoured by the royal family.

Princess Beatrice looked gorgeous in a black and white polka dot dress by It-girl brand Saloni. Featuring the label's signature crystal bows along the bodice, short sleeves, a midi silhouette and a rounded neckline, the dress has become a statement piece among royals and celebrities.

The princess wore her auburn tresses down loose and partially swept back by a small black fascinator boasting pristine white floral detailing. She teamed the spotted number with a simple pair of black point-toe heels and clasped a black snakeskin leather clutch bag with her initials embossed in gold lettering for her race day essentials.
