Princess Eugenie attended the first F1 race of 2024 just days after missing a royal memorial service.

Eugenie travelled to Bahrain to watch the debut Grand Prix of the season alongside her husband Jack Brooksbank and mother Sarah Ferguson.


The Princess of York looked in good spirits as she was snapped laughing with the Duchess of York at the race.

Eugenie was a notable absentee at the late King of Greece's memorial service at St George's Chapel on Tuesday.

Sarah Ferguson attended the service alongside Eugenie's sister, Princess Beatrice.

Eugenie's father, Prince Andrew, also attended the service and was controversially seated in the front row at St George's Chapel.

The Duke of York was seated just five seats away from Queen Camilla, who was leading the Royal Family in the absence of King Charles at the service.

It is unclear why Eugenie and her husband James did not attend the event.

However, Eugenie and her good friend Julie de Boinville co-founded the Anti-Slavery Collective in 2017 to fight against modern-day slavery.

This week, the duo took to Instagram to share a new video where they discussed visiting a Salvation Army safe house.

Eugenie and de Boinville both dressed in black for the video whilst sitting on a sofa, looking directly into the camera as they spoke.
