Princess Beatrice will not join members of the royal family for the Easter Sunday service at St George's Chapel this year, it was confirmed on Monday. Amid the fallout of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, are making "alternative plans" on Easter Sunday, HELLO! understands, and the decision was made with the support of King Charles.
However, in 2017, Beatrice joined members of her family at the service, including the late Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales, and wore one of her most memorable Easter looks. The royal, now 37, chose an All Saints knee-skimming number featuring laser-cut detailing on the sleeves and neckline.

"Princess Beatrice’s dress from Easter 2017 is probably one she wouldn’t choose again. It felt much more fashion-forward and carefree compared to her go-to style today," says Sian.
The evolution of Beatrice's Easter wardrobe

"While the look was fun, pretty, and youthful, it doesn’t quite align with the more polished and refined aesthetic she now embraces," Sian adds.

Her outfits now feel considered, elegant, and enduring – a natural progression that mirrors both her personal growth and her public role."
