Princess Eugenie carried on business as usual as she was spotted doing her job 3,000 miles from the UK in Qatar.
Both Beatrice and Eugenie have kept a low profile over recent weeks with the ongoing scrutiny of their parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, but that did not stop Eugenie from carrying out a low-key appearance.
Eugenie was seen in Doha in her role as director of Hauser and Wirth, the contemporary art gallery on Savile Row.
The princess was seen in an asymmetric top and a pleated midi-skirt, both from Reiss.

The top featured a white trim, while the skirt was split between plain black and two broken-up white stripes along the hem.
To accessorise her look, the princess brought a black shoulder bag from Mark Cross and a pair of white trainers from Loci.
She completed the look with her signature toadstool earrings from Sophie Elis, in solid gold with diamonds.
The appearance comes at a period of intense scrutiny for Eugenie and her family, who “want to remain loyal” to her parents but will “need to separate themselves publicly”.
Royal commentator Richard Palmer explained how the consistent mentioning of both princesses in the Epstein files “makes it difficult to distance themselves” from the situation.
More than three million documents have been released by the US Department of Justice, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche saying there have been “extensive redactions” to the files.

PA“From what I understand, they are still speaking to them,” Mr Palmer shared with the BBC, explaining that Beatrice and Eugenie “want to remain loyal” to their parents.
The royal commentator believes the sisters do need to keep their distance “to separate themselves publicly from their parents, otherwise risk the toxicity spreading further to them”.
The pair are in an “impossible position”, according to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, with sources telling the Daily Mail that Beatrice and Eugenie were “mortified” by the details in the documents.
One insider said the material was “so embarrassing for them”.
Mr Fitzwilliams told GB News the sisters’ public appearances and absences are frequently interpreted through the lens of the controversy surrounding their father, even when private family dynamics remain unknown.
He told the People’s Channel: “What is done publicly is done for a certain effect.”
