Princess Eugenie has been pictured for the first time since returning to the UK.
The Princess of York had travelled to Saudi Arabia last week to visit The Diriyah Biennale Foundation as part of her role as the director of the art gallery, Hauser and Wirth.
However, she has since returned to the UK, as the 34-year-old royal was spotted leaving the A-list hotspot La Maison Ani London in Knightsbridge on Tuesday evening.
Eugenie cut a stylish figure in a light brown coat paired with a white crew-neck jumper and black trousers, accessorising with a black leather tote bag.

The Princess appeared in high spirits as she was photographed heading into a cab following her mid-week dinner at the exclusive Knightsbridge establishment.
Princess Eugenie’s public appearance on Tuesday evening was also her first since becoming an aunt to Princess Beatrice’s newborn daughter Athena.
Buckingham Palace announced the arrival of Princess Beatrice’s daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, last week.
The baby was born on Wednesday, January 22 at 12:57pm at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.

Weighing four pounds and five ounces at birth, the newest addition to the Royal Family was welcomed with an official Palace statement.
“Their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of the Royal Family have all been informed and are delighted with the news,” the Palace announced.
Princess Eugenie showed her delight at becoming an aunt again by sharing the official baby announcement on social media.
The princess added a celebratory touch to her repost, including a GIF that read “Welcome baby girl” in glittery pink letters alongside a baby pink bow.
The Palace announcement was accompanied by a photograph of the newborn wearing a pink knitted cardigan.
Athena is Princess Beatrice’s second daughter with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, joining three-year-old sister Sienna who was born in September 2021.
The family also includes Edoardo’s eight-year-old son Wolfie from his previous relationship with Dara Huang.
Princess Eugenie, meanwhile, is mother to two sons – three-year-old August and one-year-old Ernest.
While maintaining a residence at Ivy Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, Eugenie and her family of four lead a private life in Portugal.
