The 36-year-old royal engaged with the charity's Education Director, Jacqueline Farrell, whilst meeting students, alumni and industry partners from the Foundation's courses.

The exhibition, inspired by The King, showcases the Foundation's commitment to addressing skills gaps within the UK fashion and textiles industry through dedicated education and training programmes.

During her visit, Princess Beatrice demonstrated her enthusiasm by trying various textiles techniques, including smocking and embroidery.
The royal opted for an elegant black midi dress adorned with gold buttons for the occasion, complemented by a houndstooth coat and heeled leather boots.
At the conclusion of her visit, the princess received a special poppy pin to commemorate Armistice Day, crafted by Sheena Spence, a dedicated member of the Sewing Bee at Dumfries House.
The handmade accessory came from Ms Spence, who resides in nearby Ayr and has long been associated with the Foundation's initiatives.

The Foundation, formerly known as The Prince's Foundation, extends beyond textiles education to encompass various community-building initiatives.
Its mission focuses on creating harmonious communities where "people, places and the planet can coexist in harmony."
The charity delivers diverse educational courses, health and wellbeing programmes, while championing placemaking and regeneration projects both domestically and internationally.
