Princess Beatrice will "definitely help" the Royal Family as she provides crucial backup for the Firm, royal sources have claimed.
The Princess of York was a key attendee at Prince William's Buckingham Palace garden party earlier this week, where she stunned in a pink Beulah London dress.
The 35-year-old took pictures with fans as she stopped by the prestigious event, which was also attended by Princess Eugenie, Zara Tindall, Mike Tindall and Peter Phillips.
According to a royal insider, Prince William wanted to invite his cousins to bring some "excitement" to the Royal Family.

A Palace source said: “It was very much that the Prince of Wales wanted to invite his cousins along because [he knew] it would be fun to see all of the young royals there and there was a real sense of excitement about the day that lifted the event.”
Earlier this year, both King Charles and Princess Kate announced their cancer diagnoses.
This has meant both senior royals have stepped back from duties to focus on their recovery, although the King has made a staggered return to royal engagements.
Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Kent, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester are the royals carrying out the bulk of current engagements.
Princess Beatrice is not currently a working royalGettyWith Prince Harry and Meghan Markle living in the US, the only young working royal is currently the Prince of Wales while his wife receives cancer treatment.
This is where Princess Beatrice, and possibly her younger sister Eugenie, would make great additions to the list of working royals, according to a source.
The insider continued to tell The Times: “It’s a case of ‘watch the gap’, and although there’s no plan for Beatrice and others to become funded, official working members of the family, she has shown she can definitely help.”
Princess Beatrice tied the knot with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2020, and the couple live in an apartment in St James's Palace.

Royal commentator Gareth Russell previously spoke to GB News about the possibility of Beatrice and Eugenie becoming working royals, especially in light of their father Prince Andrew stepping back from public life.
He said: "In terms of whether or not King Charles will consider making Beatrice and Eugenie working royals, the King has made it quite clear that he does not believe that the entire York family should be punished for their father's or ex-husband's mistakes."
