Pregnant Princess Beatrice made her first public appearance in weeks when she stepped out today to attend a textile exhibition in London.
Beatrice, 36, the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, headed to the Garrison Chapel in London’s Chelsea neighborhood, where the King’s Foundation’s Future Textiles exhibition is on display.
The exhibition which opened last month marks the 10th anniversary of the Future Textiles program which was launched by King Charles to close the skills gap within the country’s textile industry through education and training.

Since 2014, more than 2,000 people have benefited from the scheme which offers a range of upskilling courses, ranging from sewing and knitting to producing a full ready-to-wear collection.
Beatrice, who is expecting her second child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, looked ready for winter as she arrived at the show wearing a gray plaid winter coat.
She kept the rest of her look simple, choosing a calf-length black skirt and a matching sweater to complete her ensemble.
With temperatures across the UK plummeting, the young royal added a pair of thick black tights and heeled booties to keep warm.
She wore her brunette hair down and kept her makeup fresh and dewy, with a flawless base, a hint of black eyeliner, and a soft pink lip.
At the exhibition, King’s Foundation Education Director Jacqueline Farrell presented Beatrice with a poppy in honor of Remembrance Sunday on 10 November.
Beatrice then spent some time with students from the Future Textiles programme, including embroidery and Modern Craftsman graduates at the exhibition in London on Tuesday 12 November.
She also participated in a clothing demonstration with students and examined exhibits at Garrison Chapel, where the exhibit will be open through the end of the week (Nov. 15).

This is Beatrice’s first public appearance in November, as she prepares for the birth of her second child.
Last month, Beatrice caused a sensation when she attended two parties in the capital, proving that she doesn’t need to go to bed early.
She looked effortlessly glamorous in her first outing to celebrate the launch of Australian designer Rebecca Vallance and American socialite Nicky Hilton’s new clothing collection on October 22.
Dressed to impress in a striking black dress, her ensemble featured a trio of bows that ran down from the neckline to the waist, giving the classic midi dress an elegant upgrade.
The glamorous royal then swapped the glitzy party for a dinner for cosmetics company Estée Lauder and Harrods, where she was joined by Princess Diana’s nieces, Lady Kitty Spencer, 33, and twins Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza, of 32.
Beatrice glowed as she kept her makeup fresh and natural, and the young mother wore a pink lip and a light touch of blush on her night out.
The future royal finished her look with a pair of pointed black heels with a white floral detail and a matching evening bag.
Before the event at The Orangery, located next to Kensington Palace in Kensington Gardens, Beatrice attended the launch party for Rebecca and Nicky’s new Holiday capsule collection in the British capital.

The cocktail party was attended by prominent members of London’s high society, including Lady Emily Compton, Downton Abbey star Daisy Lewis, British model Lady Mary Charteris and Alice Naylor-Leyland.
Other notable guests included renowned stylist Martha Ward and Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, internet star Holly Ramsay.
Earlier this month, Buckingham Palace announced that Beatrice is expecting her second child with Mozzi, 40.
They are parents to daughter Sienna, three, and Edoardo also shares Wolfie, eight, with his ex Dara Huang.
Beatrice’s younger sister, Eugenie, 34, congratulated her beloved ‘Beabea’ at the time and said she was looking forward to ‘continuing the journey of motherhood together.’
Eugenie, using the affectionate nickname for her older sister, wrote on her Instagram account: ‘Congratulations Beabea…
‘So I’m looking forward to more on this journey of motherhood together. And adding another little one to the gang.
Posting a sweet selection of family photos, she added: ‘I couldn’t find a single group photo of us. So this Christmas of 2022 will have to be enough. Xxxx.’
Announcing Beatrice’s pregnancy last month, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: ‘Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child together in early spring; a brother to Wolfie, eight, and Sienna, three.
‘His Majesty the King has been informed and both families are delighted with the news,’ the announcement concludes.
Two new photos of the family were shared to mark the announcement, one of which shows blonde-haired Sienna from behind as she walks down a country road, holding hands amid her father and older brother Wolfie.
The young woman, with a red bow in her hair, is equipped with bright yellow wellies and a blue all-in-one waterproof suit decorated with cloud and bird motifs.
In another image, Beatrice, very happy, dressed in a black down jacket, smiles at the camera while being hugged by Mr. Mapelli Mozzi, who is looking at his wife.
The royal baby will be 11th in line to the throne, behind his older sister Sienna and mother Beatrice. This pushes Beatrice’s sister, Princess Eugenie, back to 12th in line.
The grandson will be the king’s great-nephew and second cousin to Prince George, Louis and Princess Charlotte.
