Princess Beatrice stepped out on Tuesday to attend the Woman for Leadership Conference in New York, where she delivered a speech in front of a large crowd on behalf of her company, Afiniti. The royal looked stylish dressed in a floral dress by The Vampire's Wife, which is still available to buy at Matches for £915, which she teamed with black heels. The 31-year-old's proud mum, Sarah Ferguson, shared a lovely photo on Instagram of her daughter on stage addressing the audience, and wrote: "So proud of Beatrice and her public speaking." Many of Sarah's followers were quick to comment on the picture, with one writing: "Both your daughters are lovely and an inspiration, you both did a fantastic job bringing them up," while another wrote: "Very elegant speaker. A strong voice to be heard from." A third added: "She's awesome just like her mum."
