👀Princess Beatrice Steps Out at Glamorous Fashion Event Amid Fresh Scrutiny Over Royal Housing Claims

It was very much keep calm and carry on for Princess Beatrice as she was spotted partying at a fashion event following revelations of her rental arrangements.

The princess, 37, attended an event for New York-based fashion brand Alice + Olivia on Thursday night.

She wore a black bejewelled dress paired with a matching cropped jacket.

Beatrice rubbed shoulders with American socialite Nicky Hilton, 42, older sister of Paris Hilton, as well as Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath.

Alice + Olivia, founded in 2002, counts the Duchess of Sussex, Beyonce, and Kourtney Kardashian among its fans.

The brand’s dresses sell for hundreds of pounds.

It comes after the National Audit Office revealed that Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie, 36, have never personally paid a single penny in rent, despite living in exclusive palace properties for almost 20 years.

The report was commissioned following outcry over Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s lease arrangements at Royal Lodge.

Both princesses have their own careers, high-flying husbands and multi-million-pound homes elsewhere and are sure to face questions about why they could not pay their own way.
