Princess Eugenie sported an sleek black dress and trendy jacket as she headed out of Maison Estelle members’ club in Mayfair earlier this week.
The daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, 31, was all smiles as she left at the exclusive venue in London last Wednesday after enjoying a night on the town.
Showing off her sartorial prowess, the mother-of-one wrapped up in a trendy black dress with a chic white jacket and ‘shrobed’ a tartan coat to match.
Keeping a natural look, Eugenie opted for minimal make-up with just a light layer of foundation and lick of mascara to emphasise her good looks.
The outing came just hours after news broke that her father Prince Andrew had demanded a trial by jury in the Virginia Roberts sex abuse lawsuit.

Private member’s club Maison Estelle is the newest hotspot from hospitality group the Ennismore, and attendees since it opened have included Angelina Jolie and Idris Elba.
It was founded by the power couple Sharan Pasricha, who bought Gleneagles for £200 million in 2015, and his heiress wife Eiesha Mittal, the daughter of billionaire Sunil Mittal.
The club is to be housed in a Grade I-listed building, designed by Sir Robert Taylor in 1772, on Grafton Street.

The venue, which is the brand’s first private members’ club – offers restaurants, bars, lounges, retail, and a nightclub space with a curated programme of events.
There is a wine cellar bar in the basement, while on the third floor there is also a library.
The night out comes after Princess Eugenie announced plans to follow in the footsteps of her cousin Prince Harry by launching a podcast for her anti-slavery charity.
The Queen’s granddaughter, who founded The Anti-Slavery Collective charity foundation with her close friend Julia de Boinville, shared a snap as the pair recorded an episode from her home Frogmore Cottage.

Royal fan account Gert’s Royals tweeted: ‘Princess Eugenie & Jules reveal they are recording a podcast for The Anti-slavery Collective @TASC_org, a charity they co-founded to end human trafficking. Recording started in 2021 at Eugenie’s home, and will be released later this year.’
It comes amid a difficult period for Eugenie, whose father Prince Andrew demanded a ‘trial by jury’ earlier this week as he hit back at accusations of rape and sexual assault made by Jeffrey Epstein ‘sex slave’ Virginia Roberts.
In his official response to claims made against him by Ms Roberts five months ago, the Queen’s son issued 41 denials, rejecting all allegations of wrongdoing – but said a further 40 times that he ‘lacks sufficient information to admit or deny’ other claims.
He also submitted 11 defences calling for the case to be dismissed, including that Miss Roberts’ claims should be barred by ‘her own wrongful conduct’ and ‘unclean hands’.

His decision to go ahead with the case puts him in contravention with the Royal Family who, sources say, are ‘desperate’ for him to settle and avoid the spectacle of a trial in New York later this year during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
A source said: ‘Andrew is on collision course with the Palace over this.’
Earlier this month the Queen ‘swiftly and ruthlessly’ forced Andrew to step down from his remaining royal patronages and demanded he fight the case as a ‘private citizen’.
But experts have suggested his hard line could be a ‘bluff’ and a desperate bid to ‘buy time’ to reach an out-of-court settlement with his accuser.
