Princess Beatrice releases stunning new portrait ahead of her wedding

Princess Beatrice has surprised fans by having a stunning photograph taken.

The photo was taken as part of the Chaos SixtyNine Lips cover and was taken by photographer Phil Poynter.

He shared the snap on his Instagram, explaining that HRH Princess Beatrice of York "was kind enough to sit for a personal portrait session".

"Here's the result... Stunning!", he wrote.

Princess Beatrice has been keeping out of the spotlight as she was forced to delay her wedding to fiance Edoardo Mapelli due to the coronavirus pandemic.

There was speculation before the cancellation that there would be a smaller and more intimate event held, but the wedding was cancelled altogether as Beatrice's beloved grandparents Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip would not be able to attend the event.

A spokesperson for the couple told PEOPLE at the time: "There are no plans to switch venues or hold a bigger wedding. They aren't even thinking about their wedding at this time.

"There will come a time to rearrange, but that's not yet."
