It’s Princess Patchy!!

Princess Michael of Kent wore the patch over her left eye while attending a garden party at Buckingham Palace

Usually known for her glamorous accessories, Princess Michael of Kent stepped out at a Buckingham Palace garden party yesterday with a unique addition to her otherwise polished ensemble.

The Czech-born princess wore a black eye-patch over her left eye after recent surgery, but still beamed in a pair of ornate diamond-studded earrings with a statement pearl necklace.

The 70-year-old wife of the Queen’s cousin, who is also known as Princess Pushy due to her opinionated views, underwent eye surgery last week, and is expected to be wearing the patch for the next month.

But the ever-elegant princess certainly didn’t let her new accessory dampen her spirits, as she joined her husband and 8,000 guests on the perfectly manicured royal lawn.

With the patch delicately concealed under a large brimmed hat, the princess seemed to enjoy the summer bash in a demure monochrome outfit with matching structured blazer.

The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh hosted the annual summer party and were joined in a rare royal appearance by Prince Andrew’s 26-year-old daughter, Princess Beatrice.

Maje embroidered jacket

Deciding what to wear to a party at Buckingham Palace must be pretty daunting especially for someone so highly regarded as a princess! But we can always count on Beatrice to bring the chic, cool factor.

Here, Princess Beatrice layered this gorgeous embellished jacket by Maje over her pretty chiffon summery dress.

She’s not afraid of a fabulous hat either, so we’re not surprised to see her in this lovely little headpiece, but it is this jacket that has stolen our hearts. It’s just so versatile and wearable.

We can imagine the Princess wears it with jeans too during the day, or over an LBD for a posh evening do.
