We’re used to seeing Princess Beatrice perched in the Royal Box at Wimbledon, but it turns out she isn’t only a lover of summer sports.
I spotted the eldest daughter of the Duke of York curling while holidaying in St Moritz.
The 35-year-old, who is ninth in line to the throne, brushed up on her technique alongside her property developer husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 40, and Royal friends including Princess Olympia of Greece, Prince Ernst August of Hanover and Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece.
While several members of the party wore heavy boots on the ice, Bea chanced her luck by opting for a pair of £140 Converse trainers.

Also enjoying the break were close friends Dasha Zhukova, ex-wife of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, and her husband Stavros Niarchos III, the billionaire shipping tycoon.
It must have been a trip down memory lane for Dasha and Stavros, who held their wedding at the luxury destination in 2020.
Guests back then included Stella McCartney and Hollywood actress Kate Hudson.
Earlier this week the royal was spotted leaving private members’ club Loulou’s in London.
She was pictured wearing an elegant all-black outfit, including a thick black coat during her night out in Mayfair.
Both her and sister Eugenie have kept a markedly lower profile since their mother Sarah Ferguson announced she had been diagnosed with skin cancer.
