Princess Beatrice attended a charity day in London to help raise money in memory of those who died on 9/11

The royal, 36, travelled to Canary Wharf and visited financial company BGC, who is based in New York and London. 

The company holds the event each year to commemorate 658 Cantor Fitzgerald staff and 61 EuroBrokers employees who died in the attack on the World Trade Centre in New York on September 11 in 2001.

Beatrice was snapped on the trading floor where, under the guidance of brokers, she spoke to clients over the phone in efforts to raise millions of dollars for charitable causes.

She said: ‘I am thrilled to be here today celebrating the incredible work that charities do on a daily basis.

‘The 30 charities represented here today support a wide range of important causes, from children in care to those in medical need, and have a positive impact on many different parts of the community.

‘I am so pleased to be part of Charity Day and support these grass roots organisations.’

The 9/11 terrorist attacks killed 2,977 people and injured thousands at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania. 

Staff members at the company stood up to greet the Princess of York as she stepped into the building wearing a stylish ensemble.   

Beatrice donned a cropped blazer jacket, decorated with gold buttons and a floaty A-line black and white spotty dress. 

She paired the vintage-style monochrome frock with shiny black heels and a matching clutch bag. 

The mother wore her auburn locks down in a stylish wavy blow-dry and opted to wear minimal makeup with just a touch of eyeshadow and mascara.

Beatrice was pictured beaming as she chatted on the phone, making many employees smile in her presence.

The royals made a visit to the charity organisation, in Woodford Green, London which works to ‘fund specialist care to children who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions’, where they attended a garden party and planted a commemorative tree.

The daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson looked to be in high spirits as they spent the day chatting with families and supporters of the venue, sharing a sweet video from the day on Instagram.

Eugenie, 34, wrote: ‘It was so incredible to see the caring work they do and meet some of the children and families whose lives are changed by the care and support they receive here.’

The Garden Party celebrated 20 years of the hospice’s work, as the organisation took their social media to share photos from the royals’ moving visit.
