Norfolk estate
Princess Eugenie and her father Prince Andrew were also
there
The princess got a lift with her grandmother back to
Sandringham
The Queen and Prince Philip were joined by their son Prince
Andrew and granddaughter Princess Eugenie at church this morning.
Her Majesty, who wore a pale pink window pane-checked coat
and matching hat, attended her usual Sunday service at St Mary Magdalene Church
on her Norfolk estate this morning.
The monarch then shared her car with Eugenie, 25, who was
dressed to impress in a statement hat, as they returned to Sandringham.
Prince Andrew, 55, accompanied his father, 94, as they
walked to and from the service dressed in dark wool coats.
With Beatrice living in New York - where it has been
reported she has a new job in a fashion investment company - Eugenie attended
the service without her sister.
The princess recently returned to the UK from New York where
she was working in the art world to London where she has a job at art auction
house Paddle.
She certainly glammed up for the service teaming an elegant
white coat with the fuchsia cocktail hat designed by Juliette Botterill, black
leather gloves and black high-heeled court shoes.
Andrew was more practically dressed with a long umbrella in
his hand in case the overcast conditions turned to rain.
On Friday, Elizabeth II enjoyed tea and cake with members of
the Women's Institute as she made her annual visit to the Sandringham branch.
The Queen who is patron of the WI, joins members at West
Newton village hall for a post-Christmas meeting every year towards the end of
her annual winter break.
She wore royal blue and she was greeted by the National
Anthem sung by 25 members as she arrived in a green Range Rover.
The queen paired her blue coat with gloves to keep out the
winter chill and accessorised with a jewelled brooch and pearl earrings.
After the meeting, the Queen appeared to leave with a gift
from the members.
Along with her sister, Princess Eugenie is known for her
regular travels and has racked up an enviable total of eight holidays in just
15 months.
Her latest jaunt was a sun-kissed trip to Burma where she
saw in the New Year with a group of friends. It also marked the Princess's
eighth holiday since November 2014.
She spent the weekend with her grandparents who spend their
winter break at the Norfolk estate, which is a private home rather than a royal
palace.
Each year the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh take the train
to and from the 20,000 acre estate.
It's long been a favourite of the family and the Queen's
father George VI died in his sleep there in 1952.
Her Majesty normally returns to London every year within a
day or so of Accession Day on February the anniversary of her taking over
the throne on the death of her father.
