While his loyal fans were delighted, some were disappointed by the absence of star guest appearances. On this special occasion, Prince Harry sent a heartfelt video message to the performer, as fellow superstars Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney were also in attendance.
The concert was live-streamed worldwide, and Prince Harry's video tribute to Elton John was included. In the message, Harry expressed his admiration for the star's decades-long entertainment and thanked him for being a friend to his late mother. Although a few fans were excited to see the video, the majority of the Glastonbury crowd responded with boos.
Sources reported that Princess Beatrice and her husband, Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi, were seen leaving Elton's concert immediately after Harry's video was displayed on the concert stage. It appears that Beatrice wanted to avoid getting entangled with the situation or being interviewed by reporters, leading her to leave the venue promptly. Earlier in the day, Princess Beatrice was seen warmly greeting friends at the Glastonbury Festival on its final day.
She and Eduardo arrived at the festival on Sunday afternoon, with Stormzy and Jon as the final headline acts of the weekend. Beatrice looked stunning in a black top, black skirt, and white Adidas trainers, keeping comfortable in the scorching heat. She smiled as she embraced a friend before heading towards the Left Field area. Beatrice had also attended the festival the previous year.
Princess Beatrice is not the only royal who has enjoyed time at the Worthy Farm site. Her sister, Princess Eugenie, has previously attended, and their cousin, Prince Harry, was present in 2013 with his girlfriend at the time. In 2010, Prince Charles, who was then the Prince of Wales, made an appearance, touring the site with founder Michael Eavis and waving to music fans from the Pyramid Stage while meeting the behind-the-scenes team.
It has been a busy week for Beatrice, who recently joined her cousins, the Prince and Princess of Wales, at Royal Ascot. On Friday, she and Eduardo shared a carriage with the couple, coinciding with Prince William's 41st birthday celebration. Princess Beatrice and Catherine paid a sweet tribute to Princess Diana and Fergie with their chosen outfits for the occasion.
While Kate looked fabulous in a striking red ensemble, Beatrice donned an equally fabulous attire, wearing a white floral lace dress by bridal designer Monique Lhuillier.
Beatrice's appearances at Ascot and Glastonbury preceded the revelation of some sad family news. On Sunday evening, her mother, Sarah Ferguson, announced that she had been treated for early-stage breast cancer, detected during a routine mammogram screening. However, the Duchess shared that she was recovering well, as conveyed in a statement by her spokesperson.
