Sarah Ferguson arrived in Switzerland just hours before her daughter Princess Beatrice made a milestone public appearance on Thursday evening.
The Duchess of York shared a video to her Instagram account on Thursday afternoon where she told her followers she was in Geneva, Switzerland.
Beatrice was expected to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in January but pulled out of the event as she gave birth to her second daughter during the same week the event was taking place.
The princess gave birth to Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, several weeks early at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in Central London on January 22.
