Bridesmaid Princess Beatrice joined her mother Sarah Ferguson at Lulu Blacker’s 1991 wedding – see her bold outfit choices in a cute throwback photo.
Princess Beatrice knows just what to wear for every royal outing – take her enviable hat collection for proof – and it turns out that she had already developed a keen fashion sense by the age of just three.
The royal, 34, acted as a bridesmaid for Lulu Blacker, a close friend of her grandmother Susan Barrantes, back in March 1991. She was pictured holding her mother Sarah Ferguson‘s hand wearing an adorable velvet puff sleeve green bridesmaid dress with a white skirt, teamed with matching white tights and ballet pumps.

On top of her cute blonde bob sat a fresh floral headband, which likely tied in with the bride’s bouquet – but that wasn’t the only accessory Beatrice chose to wear. The cute bridesmaid personalised her outfit with a blue and orange beaded necklace featuring a cute ginger figurine, plus a white holdall with a purple and yellow floral pattern, perhaps to hold any toys or dolls she wanted to keep her entertained throughout the day.
Both added pops of colour to her outfit, while her mother Sarah kept her look neutral with a white tailored jacket and a blue and white striped knee-length skirt.

It wasn’t the only time the Princess took on the important bridesmaid role. Two years later, in April 1993, the then-five-year-old joined her younger sister Princess Eugenie, then three, at the wedding of their former royal nanny, Alison Wardley, in Manchester. They wore matching white satin dresses with puff sleeves, full skirts and frills galore, finished off with hoop bouquets made of pink and white flowers.

Since Beatrice chose to have a very intimate wedding with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi during the coronavirus pandemic in July 2020, it is not known whether she had a young bridal party like Princess Eugenie and other royals.
The bride was pictured wearing her grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s borrowed Norman Hartnell dress at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge in Windsor alongside some of her few guests, the Queen and Prince Philip.
