Princess Eugenie and Lady Louise stepped out with their grandmother the Queen today for the traditional Easter Sunday service at Windsor Castle.
The Duke of York's daughter, 22, accompanied the monarch and the Duke of Edinburgh to the Mattins service at St George's Chapel - along with Prince Edward's eight-year-old daughter.
The Queen wore a lilac, green and white Stewart Parvin silk dress with a lilac crepe coat and a matching hat by Philip Somerville, while Eugenie wore a navy dress, cream coat and small navy hat.
Her little blonde-haired cousin looked angelic in a blue skirt and checked jacket and posed with a posy of flowers.
Eugenie looked a picture of elegance - and showed off her increasingly svelte frame - as she accepted flowers from well-wishers and didn't seem to mind that her elder sister Beatrice was not there to lend a hand.
Her father Prince Andrew was at the service, however, as well as Princess Anne and husband Tim Laurence.
Prince Edward arrived with wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, in a pink coat with a cream hat, and their daughter Lady Louise Windsor.
The service, conducted by the Dean of Windsor, the Right Rev David Conner, included the hymn Thine Be The Glory and the National Anthem.
Afterwards the Queen was greeted by well wishers gathered outside the chapel.
She was presented with posies by Jasmine and Savannah Willans, seven and nine, from Standlake, Oxfordshire, grandchildren of a Military Knight of Windsor.
They were joined by Emilia Bolton, 12, from Southfields, London, whose late grandfather was also a Military Knight of Windsor
The knights are retired military officers who receive a pension and accommodation at Windsor Castle and provide support for the 0rder of the Garter and services at St George's Chapel.
Savannah, nine, said as well as wishing them happy Easter, the Queen asked her if the flowers had been picked from her garden.
She said: “We were very nervous, we were shaking”.
Several other children also gave flowers, including Grace and Ben Abbott, nine and seven, who travel every year from Ipswich with their parents for the occasion.
And Freedom Scott Tansley, ten, from Glasgow, said it was the 12th time he had met the monarch.
After the service the Queen left by car to applause from the gathered well wishers.
