Princess Beatrice has been spotted dancing on a table at a friend's birthday party in Italy, as speculation continues over whether she will attend her cousin Peter Phillips' wedding this weekend.
The mother of two was among guests celebrating the 40th birthday of Lauren De Niro Pipher, founder of Juliet Wine, at the La Posta Vecchia hotel in Palo Laziale, Rome. Photos shared on Instagram show Beatrice in a Vampire's Wife dress posing with friends, and later in a floral Zimmerman dress dancing on a table.
Beatrice has kept a low profile in recent months following the release of the Epstein files, which renewed scrutiny of her parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, and their association with the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. It remains unclear whether she or her sister Princess Eugenie, who is pregnant with her third child, will attend Peter Phillips' wedding on Saturday.
Peter, 48, the son of Princess Anne and a nephew of the King, will marry NHS nurse Harriet Sperling at All Saints Church in Kemble, Gloucestershire. Senior royals including the King and Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to attend. A source previously said Beatrice and Eugenie would not want to overshadow the couple's day and that their attendance was "never concrete".
If they do attend, it would be the first time they have been seen with royal relatives since the Epstein files were released in January. The wedding is a private ceremony, with Peter's first marriage to Autumn Kelly ending in divorce. He has two daughters, Isla and Savannah, while his fiancée Harriet has a teenage daughter, Georgia.
