Princess Eugenie joined her royal cousin Zara Tindall and friends at Ixchel, a swanky Mexican restaurant in London, where Princess Anne’s daughter hosted a lavish Christmas party on Thursday.
Zara hosted the exclusive event alongside her close friend television presenter Natalie Pinkham. Also present at the event were presenters Sarah-Jane Mee, Georgie Ainslie, Anna Woodhouse and Di Stewart. The restaurant is believed to be a favourite of Princess Beatrice, who was also in attendance but not pictured.

Eugenie’s arrival
For the special evening, Eugenie wore a black jumper with a matching bag and pair of boots; she completed her look with a green coat.

Small plates are an option of roasted hispi cabbage or an ensenada taco with cripsy white fish, pickled cucumber and carrot topped with a scotch bonnet crema.
The final option is a white crab meat tostada, garlic chips and pico de gallo.
The main is a short ribs with smoky adobo and pineapple salsa. Sides consist of white honey corn esquites, grilled broccolini, padrom peppers and lemon vinaigrette with the final option being cripsy potatoes and salsa verde.
As for the dessert, guests are treated to a mango creme brulee.
Meal fit for a princess
Eugenie’s sister is a big fan of the restaurant – we wonder if the mum-of-two was as much a fan following her meal.
Zara’s stunning outfit
Zara wore a fabuolous green coat for her get-together alongside a pair of leather trousers. She kept the cold at bay with a stunning scarf. The former Olympian carried a large bag with her, while her boots added to her towering physique.

A fond farewell
Zara’s future plans
Zara is gearing up for Christmas with her husband and three children and part of their seasonal plans will likely involve a trip to Australia.
The Tindalls often escape to the warmer region during the winter, and the country also holds a special place in Mike and Zara’s hearts as the couple first met there back in 2003.
