Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice aren’t just sisters, they’re “best friends” too. The royal siblings, who are the only two daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, have made no secret of their closeness, experiencing motherhood together, sharing outfits, and travelling the world in tandem.
In Eugenie’s birthday post shared to Instagram in honour of her older sister’s birthday, it was revealed that the York sisters embarked on a secret trip to Saudi Arabia earlier this year.
“Happy birthday dearest Beabea!! What an inspiration you are. You’ve paved the way for your little sissy. Love you,” Eugenie penned on social media, sharing a series of photos of the pair at Manal AlDowayan’s trampoline installation.

The sisters showed off their playful side in the fun snaps, jumping for joy on the trampolines situated in the desert.

The royal mother-of-one, who shares daughter Sienna with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, spoke on entrepreneurship in the 21st century and how businesses are responding to a climate where social agendas are at the forefront.
At the time, it was only reported that Princess Beatrice had a speaking role at the event, suggesting her youngest sister had booked the trip to support her beloved “sissy”.

“Beatrice and I, our whole lives, we’ve always had each other,” Eugenie began.
“We’re the only ones going through exactly what the other is going through at exactly that time as a girl – in our family, our place of work, whatever it is. I think that’s extraordinary to think about. We’re not twins, yet you go through life knowing exactly what the other one is going through. She’s my big sissy, she’s a legend.”
