The royal, who announced her engagement to partner Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi threw the soiree at Chiltern Firehouse in the British city, and along with her mother Sarah Ferguson, there were plenty of famous faces seen making an entrance into the top-secret event.

Earlier in the day, Beatrice attended the Queen’s annual pre-Christmas lunch on Wednesday, December 18, where she was spotted arriving by car.

The 31-year-old was there alongside a slew of regal royal family members, including her father Prince Andrew, who is in the troughs of criticism at present after his connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was exposed.

Naturally, many wondered if he would attend Beatrice’s engagement party too, however, he was noticeably absent from the arrivals later that night.

Kate’s younger brother and Alizee might have taken some notes during the private event – the pair recently announced their own engagement after around a year of dating.

The two couples made low key entrances, with Pippa going for a dark coloured ensemble. Alizee meanwhile opted for some printed trousers featuring a unique green print.

James Middleton and Alizee Thevenet held hands as they entered the venue.

One of Beatrice’s long-time pals Ellie Goulding was also a notable attendee.

Ellie made global headlines in September when she married her long-time love Caspar Jopling in a royal-worthy ceremony in York.

Beatrice, along with older sister Eugenie and mum Fergie were seen at the lavish event – and there’s no denying the family is close with the Starry Eyed singer.

That’s why it came as no surprise to see Goulding attend Beatrice’s ‘do in London.

Beatrice’s sister Princess Eugenie was not photographed attending the event, but that’s not to say she wasn’t there.

The Express reports that Eugenie was indeed in attendance, and simply may have arrived early to help her sister set things up – explaining why she wasn’t photographed with the other arrivals.
