Sisters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice have taken on greater royal responsibilities in the wake of the late Queen Elizabeth II's death.
Despite being non-working members of the Firm, Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew's two daughters remain core members of the royal family and have increasingly stepped out to support seniors such as King Charles and Prince William.
Most recently, Princess Eugenie joined the Prince and Princess of Wales at a garden party held at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. For the summery outing, Eugenie nailed old Hollywood glamour in an ultra-flattering polka dot Rixo dress.
While Beatrice was unable to attend the party on Tuesday due to an engagement in New York, she joined senior royals last May alongside Peter Phillips and his sister, Zara Tindall.

According to the Daily Mail's Richard Eden, the Princesses could be set to take on even greater responsibility in due course, especially considering the slimmed-down monarchy and in the wake of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal departure.

Despite this speculation, there doesn't appear to be any official plan as of yet for Eugenie and Beatrice to fully enter the fold. But over the coming months, we anticipate that the pair will continue to attend key events and support the monarch as required.

The sibling duo have close links with several charities, including Teenage Cancer Trust, for which they're both honorary patrons. Beyond this, they have also worked with other organisations including Street Child, Elephant Family and the Blue Marine Foundation.
