Sarah has often expressed her gratitude for her daughters, and frequently makes public appearances with both the birthday girl and her younger sister, Princess Eugenie, whether at events such as Royal Ascot or on their charity-related outings.

Princess Beatrice's special 37th birthday

Though we haven't yet got a glimpse inside Princess Beatrice's birthday celebrations, we do know for sure that this year is going to be a particularly special one.

Earlier on in the year, the elder sister of Princess Eugenie and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, welcomed their second child, baby Athena Elizabeth Rose, into the world.

Born prematurely on 22 January, the youngest royal baby has already made her public debut, as she was spotted out in a baby carrier worn by her father when the family stepped out to watch the Lionesses' victory parade following their win at the Euros 2025.

The pair also share three-year-old Sienna, and look after Edoardo's nine-year-old son, Wolfie, from his previous relationship with Dara Huang.

With another baby in the house, I'm certain that the family will have an especially remarkable celebration for Princess Beatrice this year.
