Princess Beatrice is known for her jet-setting lifestyle but her latest jaunt to Ibiza might be her most lavish yet.
The 26-year-old was spotted relaxing on Roman Abramovich’s £1.5billion super-yacht Eclipse before being whisked off to another luxury liner where she is thought to have been invited for drinks with Oprah Winfrey, her best friend Gayle King, and Disney CEO Bob Iger.
The Rising Sun, which was also sailing off the Spanish coast, is owned by Hollywood mogul David Geffen.
Beatrice has enjoyed a string of holidays since giving up her £20,000-a-year role at Sony last year. She has taken in four skiing breaks (three at her parents’ £13million chalet in Verbier and one in Aspen in the US), two trips to St Barts in the Caribbean, two trips to New York and two to Italy.
She has also visited Greece, Florida, Bahrain, the Bahamas, China and the United Arab Emirates.
We’ve tracked down Beatrice’s shades and they’re from the super cool British eyewear brand Hook LDN which is available to buy at Harvey Nichols. Click the link to the right to purchase the pair favoured by the Princess – the Rhapsody style in black – which have the royal seal of approval.
Maybe you’d prefer to shop around for a pair that don’t have a royal price tag however, and if so check out our edit below with styles from as little as £8 from the likes of AX Paris, Asos, Topshop and Marc by Marc Jacobs.
But despite friends insisting she was ‘determined to knuckle down’, she turned up on Thursday on Roman Abramovich’s super-yacht, which was sailing near the Spanish island.
Her boyfriend Dave Clark was waiting for her on the Russian oligarch’s vessel, which is 536ft long and boasts two swimming pools, a pair of helipads, a cinema, saunas and a beauty parlour.
The pair looked in good spirits as they relaxed with friends, with the princess, wearing a summery dress, seen laughing as her beau told a joke.
Later in the day, she is understood to have been entertained by Oprah Winfrey, who was spotted on board with her friend, Gayle King. The princess’ mother, the Duchess of York, had a six-part documentary series about her ‘personal battle to rebuild her life’ aired on Winfrey’s OWN network in 2011.
Winfrey and King were joined on board by a man who appeared to be Disney CEO Bob Iger. While it is not known how long Mr Iger will be holidaying in Spain, there is doubt he could use a vacation after his company’s rough week in the stock market.
The group were pictured on the Rising Sun, which reportedly boasts a wine cellar, private cinema and basketball court. Oprah is understood to have spent summer 2013 on board the liner.
Beatrice’s life of Riley is set to continue as she flies on to Sotogrande in Spain to celebrate her 27th birthday with her mother today. It is understood her father plans to join them later.
The princess’s latest period of unemployment has seen her criss-cross the globe. Throughout this time Prince Andrew’s website listed her as working ‘full-time in business’.
Last night a friend tried to play down her latest jaunt coming so soon after she began her job, saying it would have been planned long before she started work and that it is ‘perfectly normal’ for someone working in finance to take a few days off for their birthday.
It is not known when Beatrice will return to the US to resume her role. It is the third job she has had since graduating from Goldsmiths College in 2011. She previously worked for investment firm Cabot Square Capital and Sony Pictures, but quit both jobs after less than a year.
It is thought her decision to pack up her apartment in St James’s Palace – renovated with £250,000 of taxpayers’ money – and ship out to New York was in part because Mr Clark recently started working there for taxi firm Uber. Friends say they are sharing an apartment in Manhattan. A spokesman for the Duchess of York declined to comment.
