Princess Beatrice and Zara Tindall, along with Mike Tindall, recently attended a party with Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend, which has been perceived as a subtle snub to Meghan Markle.
Princess Beatrice was seen beaming alongside her cousin Zara Tindall at The Green Room yacht viewing party during the recent F1 Monaco Grand Prix. British television presenter and Formula 1 pit lane reporter Natalie Pinkham shared photographs of the royal cousins on social media. In the photos, Princess Beatrice and Zara posed with Pinkham, with the Princess of York and Pinkham each kissing Zara on the cheeks, highlighting their close bond.
Princess Beatrice donned an Alice and Olivia denim jacket paired with chic sunglasses that cost $49.99, according to the Royal Fashion Police on Instagram. Interestingly, the sunglasses belonged to Zara, emphasizing the close relationship between the cousins. This close-knit family bonding is something the Sussex children are missing out on. Zara was also pictured with good friends Natalie Pinkham and actor Matt Damon at The Green Room experience private event, an exclusive affair Meghan might wish she could have attended.
In addition to being friends with Beatrice and Zara, Pinkham was once rumored to have had a romantic link to Prince Harry in 2003 when he was just 19. Rumors of a romantic connection between the young royal and Pinkham circulated, though neither publicly confirmed the relationship. Pinkham later commented on Harry, saying she realized quickly what a normal guy he was. Despite the rumors, Harry did not mention Pinkham in his memoir, "Spare."
Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and Zara Tindall have shown support for Prince William and King Charles under unique circumstances. Recently, the King's nieces stepped up to help host a garden party at Buckingham Palace alongside the Prince of Wales while the King and Princess of Wales underwent cancer treatment. Zara, Beatrice, and Eugenie appeared in high spirits at the event, coordinating in matching pink and white dresses.
A royal insider, speaking to Hello magazine, commented on the strong bond between the royal women and their desire to support William with the event. The source noted that they are closer than many cousins might be due to their shared experiences and the unique lives they lead. This bond is reflected in their dedication to the royal institution, each serving it in different ways but all committed to its future.
According to the publication, Zara, Beatrice, and Eugenie were asked to assist at the garden party due to the unique circumstances faced by the Prince and Princess of Wales. Their presence showcased a united front, with all three coordinating their outfits at the glamorous garden party in London. However, sources emphasized that the involvement of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, daughters of the Duke of York, should not be interpreted as an indication that they will take on more public engagements or become part-time working royals. Both princesses have careers and charitable interests outside the royal institution but were always invited by their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, to occasionally attend garden parties or larger receptions at Buckingham Palace, a tradition the King intends to maintain.
