Princess Beatrice and her fiancé Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi were spotted enjoying a late dinner at Isabel restaurant in Mayfair last night.
The couple, who are due to marry on May 29 at the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace, were seen leaving the west London eatery and bar after midnight.
It is the second visit in a week for Beatrice who visited the restaurant earlier in the week with Eugenie, 29, and her husband Jack Brooksbank, 34.
The couple looked in good spirits as they left the restaurant with Princess Beatrice in a black dress and Edo in a navy outfit.
Their wedding service in two months will be followed by a private reception, hosted by The Queen, in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.

It will be the first reception to be held at the palace since the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in April 2011.
All three subsequent royal weddings have been in Windsor. Beatrice’s sister Princess Eugenie tied the knot in 2018 at St George’s Chapel, with a reception at the castle.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had exchanged vows there earlier that year.
The Duke of York, who stepped back from royal duties last year amid ongoing scandal surrounding his friendship with deceased paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, will give his Beatrice away at the wedding.
A number of royal weddings have taken place in the Chapel Royal, including that of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg in 1840. In 1893 the then Duke of York, the current Queen’s grandfather, and Princess Victoria Mary of Teck (later King George V and Queen Mary) were married in the Chapel.
Princess Beatrice, Prince George and Prince Louis were all baptised at the Chapel.
It is understood Beatrice and Edoardo want their nuptials to be ‘low key’ and without the fanfare that surrounded the wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.
Beatrice and Edo had been together for 11 months at the time they announced their engagement in September last year

Beatrice and Edo had been together for 11 months at the time they announced their engagement in September last year. Father-of-one Edo proposed with a ring estimated to have cost £100,000, while the pair were holidaying in Italy.
The planning has been somewhat overshadowed by the ongoing scandal surrounding Prince Andrew’s friendship with deceased paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The Royal Family’s statement, released on Instagram, announcing their wedding, reads: ‘The wedding of HRH Princess Beatrice of York and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will take place on Friday 29th May 2020. The couple became engaged in Italy in September 2019.
‘Her Majesty The Queen has kindly given permission for the ceremony to take place at The Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace.
‘The ceremony will be followed by a private reception, given by The Queen, in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.’
