Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie had a sisters' night out to celebrate their friend Ellie Goulding.

On April 11, Princess Beatrice, 35, and Princess Eugenie, 34, attended an afterparty for the singer's show at the Royal Albert Hall in London with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. The royal sisters posed for a photo together, while Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, also got together with Goulding for a smiling snap.

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s daughters are known to share a tight bond with Goulding, 37, and the Grammy Award-nominated singer has long been connected to the British royals. In fact, she performed at Kate Middleton and Prince William’s royal wedding reception in 2011!

A decade later, Goulding took the stage at Prince William's Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony in Boston in December 2022 and had a chat with the Prince and Princess of Wales backstage.

In another tie, Princess Eugenie was reportedly the one to introduce Goulding to her ex-husband, Caspar Jopling. According to Tatler, Eugenie knew Jopling, an art dealer, through her career in the art world and even worked with his uncle Jay Jopling during her time at online auction house Paddle8.

Princess Eugenie and her now-husband, Jack Brooksbank, were also spotted on a double date with Goulding and Jopling at a basketball game in New York City, where Eugenie lived for two years while working as a specialist at Paddle8 in 2017. The foursome sat courtside at a Brooklyn Nets vs. New York Knicks matchup at Madison Square Garden.

Goulding and Jopling were guests at Princess Eugenie and Jack’s royal wedding at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle in October 2018, and the singer even performed during the festivities.

Princess Eugenie, Jack, Princess Beatrice, Edo and the Duchess of York all attended Goulding and Jopling’s nuptials the following summer. The pop star and her husband might not have been at Beatrice and Edo’s wedding in July 2020, as the scaled-down ceremony was held with about only 20 guests to heed COVID-19 restrictions at the time.

The "Still Falling for You" singer has vacationed with the princesses in the past, and Hello! reported that the sisters attended Goulding and Joplin’s son Arthur’s 2nd birthday party in May 2023 with their husbands and kids. Princess Beatrice and Edo are parents to daughter Sienna, 2, and his 8-year-old son Christopher Woolf, whom he shares with ex Dara Huang. Princess Eugenie and Jack attended the party with their son August, 3, and have since welcomed baby Ernest, 11 months.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie’s appearance at the afterparty marked their first joint outing since the premiere of Scoop on Netflix last week. The film revisited how their father Prince Andrew’s BBC Newsnight interview in 2019 about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein led to his fall from grace, and a depiction of Princess Beatrice was woven into a palace meeting scene.

Former BBC producer Sam McAlister, whose memoir inspired the Scoop movie, exclusively told PEOPLE, "We had been going to meet Prince Andrew and his chief of staff, Amanda Thirsk, played by Keeley Hawes in our movie, and then curveball of curveballs, he brought someone with him. Now, I'm thinking it's going to be a lawyer or a comms person and things are going to be over. But in fact, it was his daughter, Princess Beatrice."

"So, to have prepared to do this incredibly important negotiation and then have to do it on these sensitive and difficult subjects in front of his young daughter really was taking an already extraordinary experience to the next level," McAlister says. "Nothing prepares you for a professional experience like that. And even though it was something that I like to think I was pretty adept at, we really were all out of our depth in Buckingham Palace, sitting just across from him and his daughter."
