Princess Eugenie, who is expecting a child, and her sister Beatrice mingled with music sensation Taylor Swift and a slew of other celebrities at Poppy Delevingne’s 40th birthday bash in London last evening.
The renowned socialite and model marked her milestone birthday with flair, hosting an unforgettable evening at her beloved pub followed by an opulent after-party at a high-end hotel, making it a standout event in the celebrity social calendar.
Eugenie, proudly displaying her baby bump in a chic black dress complemented by a vibrant purple coat, was accompanied by her delighted husband, Jack Brooksbank.
Notwithstanding the controversies surrounding their parents, Andrew and Fergie, Beatrice was all smiles as she entered the Hart pub alongside her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
The star-studded guest list also included Taylor Swift and her NFL star fiancé, Travis Kelce, who traveled to the UK specifically to partake in Poppy’s celebration.

Ms Delevingne, who turned 40 on Sunday, was also supported by her supermodel sister Cara and other members of their high-society family.
Guests had descended on the Hart pub in Marylebone, just across the road from the famous Chiltern Firehouse.
After a raucous few hours they rolled down towards Soho and into 77 at the luxury BoTree hotel just off Oxford Street.
With royalty rubbing shoulders with music megastars and London’s fashion elite, the lavish celebrations easily became one of the hottest celebrity parties of the year.

Travis and Taylor were in town amid speculation around their upcoming wedding, with the Daily Mail confirming earlier this month that they are set to tie the knot in New York on July 3.
It was previously speculated that the couple would say ‘I do’ at her lavish Rhode Island estate.
Guests who received an invitation have also been required to RSVP with a signed NDA to help keep details of the nuptials private, per a source.
The exact location of the wedding is not known, but it is said to be an arena or museum-like space.
Last year in August, Kelce popped the big question and Swift shared photos from the intimate engagement on Instagram with the caption: ‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.’
The sports player had turned his backyard in Kansas City into a secret garden wonderland. He had asked Swift to marry him shortly after they recorded an episode of his New Heights podcast together.
It has also previously been claimed that she has asked some of her celebrity pals to be her bridesmaids, including Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid.

Princess Eugenie’s official announcement on Monday that she is pregnant with her third child also confirmed that she is still part of The Firm – and offered a rare piece of good news for her parents.
The younger daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson is 12th in the line of succession – and her unborn child will be 15th – pushing her uncle Prince Edward down to 16th.
Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank’s happy news was released in an official statement sent out by Buckingham Palace – not by the private office she shares with older sister Beatrice.
King Charles also showed his personal support for his niece and her husband by adding that he is ‘delighted’ – but there was no mention of the child’s grandparents in the 52-word statement.
The announcement from the monarch’s own office – which was shared on the official Royal Family social media feeds – shows that Eugenie will not be punished for the sins of her parents.

Andrew and Fergie, who are in hiding due to the Epstein files, have seen their reputations shredded. They also dragged their daughters into the scandal in their sycophantic emails to the convicted paedophile.
Buckingham Palace officials also revealed the couple’s sons August, five, and Ernest, two, are ‘very excited’ to welcome a younger sister or brother to the family.
In a photo shared by Eugenie, Ernie, wearing a Chelsea football kit, and Augie, wearing a long-sleeved grey T-shirt, are holding a picture of a baby scan.
The 36-year-old princess wrote in an accompanying caption on Instagram: ‘Baby Brooksbank due 2026!’ followed by a series of red heart emojis and one of a baby.
A Buckingham Palace statement said: ‘Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their third child together, due this summer.
‘August (aged five) and Ernest (aged two) are also very excited to have another sibling join the family.
‘His Majesty The King has been informed and is delighted with the news.’
