Princess Eugenie has emerged after months away from the spotlight, attending a society wedding in Sicily this week.

The royal was photographed at Villa Igiea in Palermo for the nuptials of hotelier Charles Forte and handbag designer Georgie Wright, which took place at the Cathedral of Montreale on April 24.

Eugenie appeared in images posted by socialite Jazzy de Lisser, captured mingling with fellow guests whilst dressed in an elegant black gown featuring fringe details.

Ms De Lisser captioned her post: "That’s Amore. Most beautiful weekend celebrating The Poodles."

Whether her husband, Jack Brooksbank, or sister Princess Beatrice accompanied her remains unclear.

The celebration drew over 350 guests, including Lady Lola Bute and Tish Weinstock.

Eugenie and her elder sister Beatrice have maintained a low profile since their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was taken into custody in February, following revelations in the so-called "Epstein files" released in January.

Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was released on investigation that evening.

The 66-year-old has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

Neither princess attended the Royal Family's Easter service earlier this month, opting instead for "alternative" arrangements.

They were also absent from last week's centenary commemorations marking what would have been the late Queen's 100th birthday.
