Princess Beatrice was spotted at a charity music festival held in memory of Caroline Flack.
The royal, 35, was a VIP attendee at the Flackstock music festival in the Englefield Estate in Berkshire.
The festival, now in its third year, has raised over £495,000 for mental health in memory of Caroline Flack, a British presenter who died in 2020.
Princess Beatrice donned a puff-sleeved tea dress from Beulah London, accompanied by a green crossbody bag by Sophie Stanbury, and a cropped denim jacket from Alice & Olivia.

The tiara of blooms featured hot pink and cherry red flowers, complementing the princess's summer aesthetic.
Flack, who hosted Love Island and The X Factor, died at age 40, two months after she was charged with assaulting her boyfriend Lewis Burton in December 2019.
A coroner later ruled: "Although [Flack's] general fluctuating state was a background and important in her death, I find the reason for her taking her life was she now knew she was being prosecuted for certainty, and she knew she would face the media, press, publicity — it would all come down upon her.

"To me, that's it in essence."
Caroline’s mother, Christine Flack, gave an emotional speech about her "wonderful daughter" at the charity music festival.
She said: "Her laugh was infectious," and thanked everyone for making the festival a special celebration of her life.
Flack briefly dated Prince Harry, something the Duke of Sussex mentioned in his 2023 autobiography, Spare.

The duke wrote: "She had been so light and funny that night we met. The definition of carefree."
The couple were reportedly introduced by Pinkham, one of Flack’s close friends and co-founder of Flackstock.
Raising money for some of Flack’s favourite charities, including Choose Love, Samaritans, Charlie Waller Trust and Mind, the music festival was hosted on the grounds of Englefield House.
