Eugenie wore a floral printed dress with three quarter length sleeves, while Beatrice opted for a black v-neck dress.

Just like any pair of sisters, the York girls were pictured taking selfies together while attending the Commonwealth reception.

According to Express, the theme of this year’s UN General Assembly centred around “galvanising multilateral efforts for poverty eradication, quality education, climate action and inclusion.”

A statement on the United Nations website says, “The Assembly is empowered to make recommendations to States on international issues within its competence.

“It has also initiated actions – political, economic, humanitarian, social and legal – which have benefitted the lives of millions of people throughout the world.”

While the reason for Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie’s attendance is unknown, it is likely Princess Eugenie was there in support of her anti-slavery charity (The Anti-Slavery Collective) as she often attends events to raise awareness of important social issues around the topic.

The organisation was set up with her friend Julia de Boinville, and according to the official website, the Anti-Slavery Collective “encourages law enforcement agencies, policymakers, journalists, academics, NGO’s, companies, individuals, and survivors to collaborate and share ideas on how we can fight human trafficking.”

Over the weekend, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson‘s daughters were in Italy to attend fashion designer Misha Nonoo’s wedding, along with Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry and Ivanka Trump.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were also at the wedding ceremony, as Meghan is close friends with Misha.

The royal family have been catching several flights over the past week, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex flying to Cape Town in South Africa on Monday to being a royal tour with their son Archie.
