Sarah, Duchess of York paid a touching tribute to her eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, to celebrate her 35th birthday.
The author, 63, took to Instagram to share two sweet throwback photos on Tuesday, with one snap showing the pair deep in conversation as they watched a polo match in 2004.
Sarah can be seen wearing a smart black skirt-suit, while Beatrice, who was 16 at the time, donned a white shirt, a floaty pinstripe skirt and statement earrings.
Beatrice, who has inherited her mother's gorgeous auburn hair, has always shared a close bond with Sarah and her younger sister, Princess Eugenie.
For the second photo, Sarah chose a childhood picture of Beatrice wearing sunglasses and a gingham bow in her hair as she sits in the back of an open-top car with Sarah sat in the front seat.
The image was taken in 1996 when Beatrice would have been eight years old and even then, she looked like her mother's mini-me.
"Happy birthday Beatrice. You’ll always be my girl," Sarah wrote in the caption.
