Princess Beatrice spent a week in South East Asia following the royal wedding for a very special cause – to run a half marathon supporting a children"s hospital. The 30-year-old, who served as maid of honour at her sister Princess Eugenie"s big day, travelled to Laos a week later where she joined a group of friends to run the Luang Prabang Half Marathon.

A keen runner, Beatrice previously became the first royal to run the London Marathon in 2010, and completed this race to benefit Lao Friends Hospital for Children. The Princess carried out a number of engagements on behalf of charity Friends without a Border during her week-long trip to Laos, including opening the hospital"s expanded Neonatal Unit, where she met many of the staff and patients there.

Laos borders both Thailand and Vietnam and is a popular destination for backpackers. The half marathon Princess Beatrice took part in would have given her a great tour of the UNESCO World Heritage town of Luang Prabang on the 13.1 mile route, passing the National Museum and various landmarks and temples.

Looking stylish in a Ralph & Russo ensemble, Beatrice was every inch the proud sister as she sat alongside their mum Sarah Ferguson in St George"s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry"s royal baby rules: 5 unusual traditions the couple will likely follow - Fox News

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are preparing for royal baby No. 1, which is due to arrive by the end of April. And though they"ll be first-time parents, the pair will have the entire British throne to back them up — and give them a few rules to follow along the way. Many royal enthusiasts tend to agree: the pair is unlike any other royal couple, especially compared to Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. However, they have stuck to many royal traditions over the past year, and they"ll likely continue some of the years-old customs their relatives have followed before them. In fact, Markle has already vowed to follow one royal rule — keeping the gender of her first child a secret.
