Princess Beatrice has been spotted partying in a secret VIP Glastonbury spot at the annual festival and was seen unwinding with friends at the Soho House pop-up following Dua Lipa's dazzling Pyramid Stage appearance.
This exclusive bar, tucked away behind a hedge and guarded by double security, is a haven for hospitality guests only. Dressed casually in a black jacket, trousers, and white trainers, Beatrice was photographed enjoying cocktails into the early hours of Saturday, reports the Mirror.
The mother of two blended seamlessly into the party scene, barely drawing attention as she indulged in £13.50 Picantes and danced to Kylie Minogue's hit Can't Get You Out of My Head.
A source told the Mirror: "Beatrice loves Glastonbury and always has a great time but she prefers to stay low key and blend in with the crowd. She'd rather have a good time with her pals than draw attention from anyone else." It wasn't until well past midnight that Beatrice and her group decided to wrap up their night.
Among other celebs who showed their endurance after Dua's memorable set were Cara Delevingne and Anya Taylor-Joy, who, sporting a jacket emblazoned with 'VIAGRA', were seen asking festival wardens for directions to the VIP area at 1.30am. Cara was over the moon when a group of festival attendees recognised her and expressed their admiration for her recent role as Sally Bowles in Cabaret.
