QuotePrincess Beatrice met brave young cancer patients today as she opened a state-of-the-art body scanner that will improve their treatment. The princess was at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children (RHSC) in Edinburgh to see the gamma ray scanning system.
The 26-year-old, who works for Sony, was named Royal Patron for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation last year and has previously visited the hospital in Scotland to see the work they do.
For today's visit, where she was given the task of cutting the ribbon to officially open the scanner, she wore a navy blue dress under a smart cream coat.

The Princess has slowly been increasing her focus on charity causes recently, with an appearance at the Virgin STRIVE challenge earlier this month and has previously visited the Royal Hospital for Sick Children (RHSC). She accepted the role as Royal Patron for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation in 2013, and the new scanner at the RHSC is the result of a £500,000 donation from the Foundation.
