00:00 Royal sisters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have shared a close bond since childhood,

00:05 and it seems that they're enjoying a joint holiday with their families this summer.

00:09 The princesses were reportedly among the first royals to arrive at Balmoral Castle this week,

00:21 where King Charles is hosting extended members of his family.

00:24 Beatrice, 35, and her property developer husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi,

00:36 are parents to daughter Sienna, who turns two next month.

00:39 Edoardo also has a seven-year-old son, Christopher Wolfe,

00:49 known as Wolfie, from his previous relationship with Dara Huang.

00:53 Meanwhile, Eugenie, 33, and her husband, Jack Brooksbank,

01:04 are parents to two-year-old August and also welcomed their second son, Ernest, in May.

01:09 There's plenty of space and 50,000 acres of land on the Balmoral estate for the princesses and

01:21 their young families to enjoy a secluded and peaceful break.

01:24 It's likely that Beatrice and Eugenie will also be joined by their parents,

01:35 the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York.

01:37 Author Sarah, 63, often shares cute and amusing anecdotes about her three grandchildren on her

01:51 podcast "Tea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah".

01:53 Speaking about being on babysitting duties with Sienna, Sarah said,

02:04 "Laughing. She's the controller of Granny and Grandpa right now. I can safely tell you that

02:16 when I am following her, she looks just like Beatrice." Sarah, who is known as Gigi to her

02:22 grandchildren, added, "She does the same thing as Beatrice. Beatrice is a Leo and it's taken

02:34 me right the way back to following Beatrice around, literally mini me."

02:44 Off she goes, hunting for ducks and walking through puddles,

02:48 the rain on her head, and then sings raindrops keep falling on my head, plop.

02:52 Well, I sing the first bit and then she goes plop. So we've had an extraordinary time.

03:05 I am very glad Beatrice and Edo got some time alone too.

03:09 The Duchess also disclosed details about how she and Sienna celebrated Princess Beatrice's

03:21 35th birthday on 8 August, saying, "I hid many different fairies in the garden,

03:26 and I sent Sienna on a fairy tale hunt to find the fairies, with wings on."

03:37 "She lasted with the wings on for quite a while before Beatrice and I put the wings on.

03:42 And then we had a fairy picnic once Shed found the fairies,

03:52 and that was a magical day for Beatrice's birthday."

03:55 Find out Sienna's adorable nickname from Sarah's appearance at the 92nd Street Y in New York back

04:07 in March during her book tour. And speaking about her newborn grandson Ernest, Sarah said

04:19 in a previous podcast episode, "He's a very seriously beautiful little boy."
