Meanwhile, her sibling Beatrice sported a navy corduroy dress with black tights and ankle boots, wearing her hair in loose waves around her shoulders. Pictures show the cheerful group laughing outside the pub as James Blunt's wife, Sofia Wellesley, carries a cardboard cutout of one of the guests.
Writing in a Mail on Sunday column, Piers has emphasised his relationship with the Duchess of York in the past, saying: "I’ve always had a soft spot for Fergie". Speaking of a conversation he had with the two Princesses, he said he told Beatrice: "[Sarah Ferguson] has always been very loyal to me, and I greatly appreciate it."
Beatrice reportedly responded by saying that her mother "appreciates" the loyalty Piers has shown her. Piers went on to say how he had known both Princesses since they were young, describing them as "incredibly nice, polite and good fun".
Beatrice and Eugenie's public appearance came after their mother, Fergie confirmed she had not received an invitation to the King's Coronation on May 6.
When asked if she'll be attending the event on Good Morning Britain, the Duchess of York said: "No I'm not because it's a state occasion and being divorced you can't have it both ways. I'm enjoying being divorced to my husband, not from my husband."
Kate interjected: "You don't mind, you don't feel sorry? You have grown up with them and you're very close to Charles." To which Sarah replied: "The great thing about this moment in time is the unity of family I think they're doing a great job of unifying the family.
"I'm not there in the state occasion but that doesn't mean I'm not there privately. You can't sit on the fence, you're either in or out."
