Princess Eugenie shares rare message of support for Prince William amid Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis

Princess Eugenie shared her support for Prince William in a rare statement this week, following the sovereign’s annual garden party at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.

Welcomed by the Prince of Wales, around 8,000 guests were invited to enjoy tea and cakes in the beautiful garden, and members of the royal family gathered for the occasion, including Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice, Peter Phillips, Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall.

The Princess of Wales was absent from the royal engagement as she continues to recover from her cancer treatment, and Princess Eugenie, 34, took to Instagram to share her support for her cousin Prince William after the ‘event.

“Rain or shine, I was delighted to help my family yesterday meet some special people at the Buckingham Palace Garden Party who have gone above and beyond to support their local communities and the country “wrote the royal.

The photo carousel saw Eugenie looking glamorous despite the rain, wearing a cream Ulla Johnson midi dress with short sleeves and ruffle details, teamed with Valentino leather heels adorned with metallic studs.

The mother-of-two completed the look with a dusty pink crossbody bag and a floral Emily-London headpiece, while her brunette hair was styled in a low bun.

Eugenie coordinated with Princess Beatrice, 35, for the occasion, as the sisters wore headpieces from the same brand. Beatrice wore an Emily-London patterned headband with a Beulah London crimson midi dress featuring long, slightly puffed sleeves, a high neckline and gold button detailing. The royal completed the look perfectly with a pair of Jennifer Chamandi heeled pumps and an Anya Hindmarch tassel clutch.

The royal family traditionally hosts three garden parties at Buckingham Palace and one at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Scotland. The annual events allow members of the royal family to meet community representatives and charity workers.

Princess Beatrice and Eugenie are garden party regulars, as is Zara Tindall, who looked beyond elegant for this year’s bash in a white Laura Green dress. The midi dress featured an A-line skirt, puffed sleeves and a collar, finished with a waist-cinching belt and pink buttons that matched beautifully with her Sarah Cant heeled pumps and floral hat.
