Princess Beatrice has been rubbing shoulders with a high-level delegation in Pakistan this week. The Queen's granddaughter was in the country for her private work with the U.S. AI firm Afiniti, where she met with some VIPs, including the President of Pakistan Dr. Arif Alvi.
According to Daily Mail, Princess Beatrice was also in the company of the former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar and the former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi over the weekend for a heli-skiing expedition. The sport allows for skiers to go on the trail from a mountain top via a helicopter rather than a ski lift.
Adventurous as that may seem, the expedition is actually part of her working holiday with her U.S. firm. Afiniti organized the activity to bring tech professionals, multinational bosses and entrepreneurs from all over the world together.
Princess Beatrice and 60 other people went to the Kaghan Valley in Pakistan for their unique adventure. As a skilled and experienced skier, the York royal encountered no problems on the slopes.
After the skiing adventure, Princess Beatrice and her delegation also met and shook hands with Pakistan's president. She was also seen engaging in a round table discussion with political and business leaders, along with her Afiniti team.
Princess Beatrice, who is works as a vice president for Afiniti, also conducted a leadership seminar for Afiniti's female executives. She joined her boss, Zia Chishti, at the head of the table with President Alvi.
The news comes as Princess Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie could be called upon to perform bigger royal duties for Queen Elizabeth. Royal expert Robert Lacey said, via Hello!, that it makes sense for the York royals to step up for the Crown in the absence of Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have, recently, stepped back from their royal roles.
However, it's still unclear if the ninth in line to the British throne could devote more time to The Firm with her full-time work in Afiniti. On top of this, Princess Beatrice is also preparing for her upcoming wedding to fiancé Edoarod Mapelli Mozzi.
Like her sister, Princess Beatrice is not a working royal and doesn't receive money from the Sovereign Grant. However, they have patronages and use their royal position for causes and charities.
Meanwhile, four months ago, Princess Beatrice's cousins Prince William and Kate were also in Pakistan for their royal work. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited many charities and communities during their five-day visit.
