On a sunny Wednesday, June 19, Princess Beatrice found herself at the center of a lighthearted fashion blunder during the annual Royal Ascot event.
Just two days after Duchess Sophie donned a strikingly similar Zimmermann gown, Beatrice stepped out in the same floral pink dress, raising eyebrows and sparking chatter among royal watchers.
The 35-year-old princess looked radiant as she complemented her gown with a chic pink headpiece, her auburn locks elegantly styled in soft curls.
The atmosphere was lively, and Beatrice seemed to be enjoying herself, sharing laughter with fellow attendees Prince William and Zara Tyndall at the prestigious horse racing event.
Duchess Sophie had originally worn the identical dress on Monday for the Garter Day service at Windsor Castle.
Her ensemble was tastefully accessorized with a white strawberry bag and a cream-and-pink hat, which she had sported at the Ascot the previous year while mingling with other members of the royal family, including King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Social media lit up with comments from Instagram users who follow the royal family, showering Beatrice with compliments about her appearance.
One fan remarked, “She’s looking so chic these days,” while another praised her style, noting how lovely she looked as both a mother and a wife.
The positive feedback continued, with admirers highlighting her accessories as perfectly chosen for the occasion.
Interestingly, Duchess Sophie also received her fair share of accolades for her own look just days prior.
Fans took to the Royal Fashion Policy’s Instagram account to express their admiration for both women’s choices, showcasing the public’s appreciation for royal fashion.
Adding to the day’s significance, June 19 marked a special milestone for Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward, who celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.
