The 26-year-old royal - who has been criticised for jetting off to four different locations in just a month - was spotted chatting to the country's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the former King of Spain, Juan Carlos I, as she watched British driver Lewis Hamilton claim his third victory this season.

A source told the Daily Express newspaper: "She was walking behind the Crown Prince of Bahrain. She was introduced to the recently abdicated King Carlos of Spain and curtseyed."

Princess Beatrice - who is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson - also met up with Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone before watching the race with the Crown Prince.

The insider added: "Bernie Ecclestone was leading that group of dignitaries. I think she watched the race from the tower high above the circuit with the Crown Prince."

Beatrice has faced criticism since she quit her job at Sony Pictures in January and was reported to have enjoyed thirteen lavish holidays with destinations including the US, China, Greece and the United Arab Emirates since November.
