Princess Beatrice looked every inch the proud mother over the weekend after her daughter Sienna was asked to be a flowergirl at a family wedding.
The royal, 34, looked effortlessly elegant in a blush pink button-down dress by Emilia Wickstead, which she wore to Wimbledon two weeks ago, to attend the nuptials of Phoebe Williams-Ellis, 29, and Raoul de Lantsheere in Cumbria.
According to the Daily Mail’s Diary Editor Richard Eden, Beatrice and Edoardo Mozzi Mapelli’s 22-month-old daughter was asked to be a flower girl for the happy couple.
Meanwhile, Edo’s seven-year-old son Wolfie – who he shares with his ex-fiance Dara Huang – is said to have performed the role of pageboy during the ceremony.
Whilst Sienna arrived at the church with her parents, Wolfie – who was wearing braces – remained with the other pageboys before joining them later.

The youngster is said to have arrived at the ceremony at St Oswald’s church in Kirkoswald, Cumbria in a tractor.
The bride – who works as a Set Designer, Costume Designer and Production Designer- is the step-daughter of Edo’s mother Nicola Diana Williams-Ellis.
Despite the wet weather, Phoebe appeared in great spirits as she arrived at the church with her father David Williams-Ellis – who protected her from the rain with a large blue umbrella.
Phoebe styled her hair in a half-up, half-down style and looked elegant in a floor-length white gown with sheer sleeves and chunky heels.
During the traditional church ceremony, the bride was given away by her father.
David, who was dressed in a morning suit, is one of the world’s leading figurative sculptors.
He was commissioned by the Normandy Memorial Trust to create the D-Day sculpture in 2019.
In 2020, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi asked his three-year-old son to be the Best Man at their intimate Windsor wedding.

Ahead of their wedding, a spokesperson told the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden: ‘I can confirm that Wolfie will be best man.’
Wolfie was the youngest person to have performed a role at a royal wedding throughout the course of British history.
As a result of Covid restrictions, the wedding, originally scheduled for May 29 , took place on July 17 with just close family present.
And they exchanged the prestigious Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace, the original venue, for the Royal Chapel of All Saints, in the grounds their childhood family home, Royal Lodge, in Windsor Great Park.
The ceremony was attended by around 20 guests, including late Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh plus parents and siblings.

For her big day, Beatrice wore a vintage dress by Norman Hartnell, on loan from her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who had first worn the dress to a 1961 state dinner in Rome.
The gown was made with Peau De Soie taffeta in shades of ivory, complete with puffed organza sleeves, which had been added for Beatrice.
It was beautifully finished with intricate diamante embellishment to the bodice.
The dress had been re-modelled by Her Late Majesty’s dresser, Angela Kelly and and royal dress designer Stewart Parvin.
The accessories were recycled, also. The Princess topped off her ensemble with the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara, which Queen Elizabeth had worn to marry Prince Philip on November 20, 1947.
Wolfie’s mother, the stylish architect Dara Huang, could be heard encouraging her son in the video
Earlier this year, Edo Mapelli Mozzi’s architect ex Dara Huang shares video of their son Wolfie painting as she called him ‘baby Picasso’.
The video showed the little boy adding black lines and a touch of blue paint to two canvas lined with black and grey lines signed ‘Wolfie.’
Princess Beatrice’s stepson completed the painting for a charity project, with his mother proudly dubbing him ‘Baby Picasso.’
Wolfie has been enjoying life far away from the royal spotlight, and usually stays out of royal events, apart from family occasions.
