Princess Beatrice makes surprise overseas trip in bump-skimming look

The royal is expecting her second baby with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi

Princess Beatrice made a surprise overseas trip with her sister Princess Eugenie this week.

The royal sisters headed to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia to attend The Future Investment Initiative, FII 2024, and Beatrice was seen in a photograph shared on social media wearing a super chic all-black outfit.

Beatrice, 36, was chatting to another attendee in the photo wearing a black midi dress with a laced hem. The sleeves were quarter-length and the dress featured a high collar.

The daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson opted for comfort with her outfit, pairing the dress with some flat black pumps with a strap detail. 

Beatrice was also wearing a lanyard around her neck and a casual leather bag was draped over her shoulders.

The royal was likely engaging in conferences and inspiring talks for hours at a time, so it's not surprising Beatrice chose to dress comfortably given she's pregnant with her second child.

Meanwhile, Beatrice's look was more corporate smart for the conference, contrasting her recent looks while attending glitzy parties in central London.

Last week, the mum-to-be amped up the glamour for a global fashion launch for socialite Nicky Hilton's collection for Rebecca Vallance.

Beatrice wore a black cocktail dress from the brand which featured puffed sleeves and pretty bow detailing on the front. She paired the look with Roger Vivier shoes and a matching clutch bag.

The royal's makeup and hair were perfect for the occasion. Beatrice had lined her eyes with a dark, smoky finish and wore a pink lip, while her gorgeous red hair was styled in tumbling curls.
