Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie took time away from recent family difficulties to enjoy a relaxed weekend in the countryside alongside a group of successful businesswomen.
The royal siblings were photographed with Gabriela Peacock, a nutritionist who counts Beatrice as her closest friend, and Fifi Howden, whose husband, David, runs insurance firm Howden and established the Cornbury House Horse Trials.
Fifi shared the gathering on her Instagram Stories with the caption: "What a fun weekend away with this fabulous group of women." Gabriela subsequently reposted the image.
The Cornbury equestrian event regularly attracts royals, including the Duchess of Edinburgh and Zara Tindall.

Their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, faces eviction from Royal Lodge in Windsor alongside his former wife, Sarah Ferguson.
A source told Hello: "Andrew and Sarah have to move out by January 25. She has stood by him all these years but is now ready to spread her wings.
“She won't be moving in with him to the new house on the Sandringham Estate."
Andrew was stripped of his royal titles, including his dukedom and prince status, by the King in October following what were described as serious lapses of judgment.

Andrew was stripped of his royal titles, including his dukedom and prince status, by the King in October following what were described as serious lapses of judgment.
The process of removing Andrew from Royal Lodge, which previously served as the late Queen Mother's residence, has stretched over approximately two years.
Andrew originally declined advice to vacate the property, with a source indicating the monarch's patience had "worn thin" with his younger brother.
The King withdrew financial support from Andrew in September, leaving him to cover security costs estimated at £3 million annually following the removal of his taxpayer-funded police protection.
