Princess Beatrice keeps calm and smiles on amid York Family drama

Princess Beatrice flashed a million-dollar smile as she made a notable appearance at the opening of a UAE bank in MayFair, London, last week. 

Beatrice - who turned 37 today,  and is ninth in line to the throne- appeared excited and cheerful as she posed in a line-up at the event.

The royal was pictured alongside politicians and dignitaries at the opening of the First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) branch in Mayfair.

However, her name was not directly mentioned in the bank's 605-word press release, despite seven other attendees named, including the bank's bosses and a a Labour minister.

Her appearance comes amid amid ongoing scrutiny of her parents, Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson, as fresh allegations resurface.

The controversy has been reignited by the release of an explosive biography, The Rise and Fall of the Yorks by Andrew Lownie.

The book makes a series of claims about King Charles' brother, Prince Andrew, and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson that tensions within the royal family stem from Andrew's indulgent lifestyle, controversial friendships, and secretive money-making ventures,' and alleged inappropriate remarks about Princess Kate-a mystery that has yet to be fully explained.
