Sarah, Duchess of York has led tributes to “special” Princess Beatrice on her 32nd birthday.

Posting on Instagram, the duchess wished a happy birthday to her “dearest” daughter.

She added: “8.8.88 at 8.18pm was one of the greatest and most proud moments of my life.

“You are unique and simply one of the most special people on this planet.”

Princess Eugenie also marked the occasion, sharing a photo taken on the eve of Beatrice’s wedding last month.

She wrote on Instagram: “Happy happy Birthday dear Beabea.

⁣“Here we are on the eve of your wedding. Still rocking a scrunchie or hair accessory (since the 90s) and huge smiles on our faces.”

Earlier on Saturday, the royal family’s Twitter account also shared a celebratory message for the recently married princess.

The birthday greeting was posted alongside a picture of the Queen and Princess Beatrice at a service at York Minster.
