Trooping the Colour is seen as one of the highlights of the royal calendar

Princess Eugenie has made her first public appearance since missing Trooping the Colour.

On Saturday, the Princess of Wales ended her six-month absence from public life as she attended the King's Birthday Parade alongside senior members of the Royal Family.


Princess Eugenie was absent from the event alongside her sister Princess Beatrice and father Prince Andrew.

Two days after Trooping the Colour, the Princess of York stepped out at a fashion event in London on Monday night.

Eugenie was pictured in a floral dress at the Fashion Trust Arabia dinner in celebration of the 2023 FTA Prize winners at Claridge's hotel.

The Fashion Trust Arabia (FTA) supports designers from the Middle East and North Africa.

Eugenie is not a working member of the Royal Family but has attended multiple royal engagements this year.

Beatrice and Eugenie have been tipped to have a more important role as the monarchy grapples with a shortage of working royals.

However, King Charles did not invite them to attend Trooping the Colour or appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch the flypast with senior members of the Firm.

Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie frequently featured at Trooping the Colour until 2019.

Their father Prince Andrew stepped down as a working member of the Royal Family in November 2019.

In 2022, Queen Elizabeth II decided to only allow working royals on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the Platinum Jubilee.

Before 2020, Beatrice and Eugenie would appear beside extended Royal Family members at the Queen's Birthday Parade.

However, this is unlikely to happen again as King Charles is expected to continue blocking non-working royals from featuring on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the event.
