Princess Beatrice was
left terrified after the driver of her carriage at Royal Ascot almost
lost control when one of the horses got spooked.
Attending the final day with
her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on Saturday, the royal was visibly
frightened as she held tightly onto the carriage when the horse bucked.
The scared horse appeared to
move off from the procession track. Luckily, a team of expert horsemen calmed
the horse down and backed it onto the course almost immediately.
Beatrice and Edoardo were
joined by Professor Douglas Antczak and Mrs Douglas Antczak in the carriage.
The Princess appeared to recover from the incident once the horse was settled,
and was later seen smiling whilst getting down from the carriage.
The royal, 33, was the epitome
of elegance, rocking a regal polka-dot printed dress with sleek pointed-toe
heels and a black and white floral fascinator. She certainly turned some heads
in her crystal-embellished Saloni dress.

Featuring the label’s
signature crystal bows along the bodice, short sleeves, a midi silhouette and a
rounded neckline, the dress has become a statement piece among royals and
celebrities.
With her auburn tresses worn
in loose waves, Princess Beatrice showcased a natural yet camera-ready glamour
glow, consisting of a radiant complexion, gently brushed brows and a bronzed
smokey eye. Meanwhile, Edoardo, 38, looked dapper in a traditional top hat and
a long coat over a yellow waistcoat and black tie.
Over the course of the annual
event, the royal couple made a number of appearances. On one of the days,
Beatrice revealed she now goes by her married name. Her Ascot name badge
revealed her new name, ‘HRH Princess Beatrice, Mrs. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi’.
