Princess Beatrice has been seen for the first time since her mother, Sarah Ferguson, announced her second cancer diagnosis.

The Princess of York, 35, attended a Valentine's lunch with Poppy Delevingne at The Ivy Chelsea Garden on Thursday.


This was the first time Beatrice had been seen since it became known the Duchess of York was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer, after previously battling breast cancer in 2023.

Sarah's spokesperson said on January 21: "Her dermatologist asked that several moles be removed and analysed at the same time as the duchess was undergoing reconstructive surgery following her mastectomy, and one of these has been identified as cancerous.

"She is undergoing further investigations to ensure that this has been caught in the early stages.

"Clearly, another diagnosis so soon after treatment for breast cancer has been distressing but the duchess remains in good spirits."

Princess Beatrice was last seen in Davos, Switzerland early last month for the World Economic Forum.

The mother-of-one travelled to Switzerland to support her sister, Princess Eugenie, who attended as the co-founder of the Anti-Slavery Collective.

Beatrice's latest outing saw the princess pose with Poppy Delevingne, Pixie Geldof, Poppy Jamie, Phoebe Vela Hitchcox and Dean Piper at the exquisite dining spot in London.

To promote Valentine's Day, The Ivy has teamed up with Della Vite Prosecco Rosé to complete their menu.

Della Vite is a line of vegan Proseccos, founded by Poppy, Chloe and Cara Delevingne.

Their mother Pandora, who Fergie attended school with, has been a lifelong friend of the duchess.

Poppy, along with her sisters Chloe and Cara, attended Princess Eugenie's wedding to Jack Brooksbank in 2018.

Princess Beatrice looked beautiful for her outing, opting for a Zara sleeveless jumper, which still retails for £22.99.

She paired this with a Zara grey skirt, which is currently selling for £9.99.

For footwear, the 35-year-old chose her £720 Gucci Jordaan loafers in black velvet.
