Princess Beatrice appears to have a high-profile inner circle following the death of her ex-boyfriend.
Beatrice tends to be more discreet than her younger sister Princess Eugenie and mother, Sarah Ferguson. She rarely comments on other family members and abstains from social media.
Behind the scenes, however, the 35-year-old enjoys a circle of supportive and highly influential friends. The mother-of-one likely has a trusted inner circle rallying around her after the death of her ex-boyfriend, Paolo Liuzzo.
One such friend is nutritionist Gabriela Peacock, godmother to Beatrice's daughter, Sienna. Peacock has three children with her husband David, Maia, 11, and twins, Iris and Caspar, six.

Beatrice is a godmother to Iris. Peacock recently told Hello! the princess is a "fantastic" mother to her daughter and her step-son Wolfie.
She said: "Bea has such a good heart and she's such a kind person, so motherhood came very naturally to her. Sienna is absolutely gorgeous and looks exactly like Bea. She's really cheeky and has a very good personality."
Peacock plans to spend time with the princess and their families in The Cotswolds this summer. She and her husband often visit their home in France, where Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have been guests.
Another close friend of Princess Beatrice is her personal stylist, Olivia Buckingham. Since being hired as Beatrice's stylist five years ago, Buckingham has transformed the royal's appearance with sought-after British brands like The Vampire's Wife, Self-Portrait and Emilia Wickstead.

Buckingham is responsible for the Reem Acra dress worn by Beatrice to the wedding of Crown Prince Hussein and Prince Rajwa of Jordan in 2023.
Beatrice's new styling avoids colour-clashing ensembles and quirky headpieces, a clear departure from her earlier approach.
The princess is incredibly close to her younger sister Princess Eugenie, 34, who often expresses her love for Beatrice on Instagram.
The York sisters are close to singer Ellie Goulding, and attended her concert at the Royal Albert Hall earlier this month. Beatrice, Eugenie and the Duchess of York were among the guests at Goulding's York Minster wedding in 2019.

Goulding has been good friends with the York sisters for years, with the singer joining Beatrice on holiday in Jordan in 2018 along with model Karlie Kloss, and designer Misha Nonoo, a friend of Meghan Markle.
When Beatrice and Edoardo announced their engagement, Holly Branson was among the first to publicly congratulate the couple.
The daughter of Sir Richard Branson, Holly, 42, said the two were "made for each other" in a heartfelt post shared on her Instagram account.
She wrote: "So excited to hear the news that Bea and Edo have gotten engaged. They really are made for each other! Bea - we have had so many adventures together. Something tells me this is going to be your most amazing adventure yet!"

American supermodel Karlie Kloss and Princess Beatrice were introduced through their mutual friend, Ellie Goulding, in 2018.
That year, they joined Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan for a group holiday in the Wadi Rum desert.
Kloss and Beatrice also attended the Berggruen Prize Gala in New York in 2018, and were guests at a wedding in the south of France.
