Queen Elizabeth’s granddaughter turned 35 on Tuesday and received shout-outs on social media from her mother, Sarah Ferguson, and her sister, Princess Eugenie. While Princess Beatrice doesn’t maintain a regularly updated public social media presence, her mom and younger sister do, and they traditionally post Instagram tributes — often with throwback photos! — for her birthday each year.
The Duchess of York, who is popularly known as Fergie, lead the charge by sharing two old photos with her eldest daughter. Fergie shares her kids with her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, who she was married to from 1986 to 1996.
“Happy birthday Beatrice. You’ll always be my girl. <3,” the author of A Most Intriguing Lady captioned the snaps on Instagram. The first showed a teenage Beatrice and Fergie leaning in for a close chat at the 2004 Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup Finals — the sun shining on their shared red hair!

The couple welcomed their daughter Sienna Elizabeth in September 2021, and are also parents to Edo’s young son Christopher Woolf (a.k.a. Wolfie), who he shares with ex-girlfriend Dara Huang.
