Princess and her baby bump leave work at an art gallery ahead of the Christmas holidays

Wearing a baby blue coat and silver-striped dress, Princess Eugenie cuts an elegant dash.

But like most mums-to-be, she will probably be thinking about swapping her stylish apparel for something more practical when her little bundle of joy arrives.

The 30-year-old, who announced her pregnancy in September and is due to give birth in early 2021, was pictured last week leaving work ahead of the Christmas holidays.

The Princess – with a visible baby bump – completed her eye-catching look with a pair of black biker boots and a black face mask adorned with ruby red lips. She has worked at the Hauser and Wirth art gallery in Mayfair for the past five years. Speaking about her passion for art, she previously said: ‘I’ve loved art since I was little. I knew I definitely wouldn’t be a painter, but I knew this was the industry for me.’

Eugenie was pictured shopping for maternity clothes earlier this month at Seraphine, the upmarket store favoured by the Duchess of Cambridge during her three pregnancies.

While Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank, 34, are currently living in the three-bedroom Ivy Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace, Eugenie is expected to spend much of her maternity leave at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.

The Princess has always been close to her cousin Prince Harry, who has loaned them Frogmore Cottage – a wedding gift from the Queen – while he and Meghan are living in California with son Archie.
