The royal, who has taken an active role in praising frontline staff who have been working tirelessly amid the coronavirus pandemic, could be seen beaming as she strolled out of the restaurant with her beau.

She teamed her all black outfit with a bright red jacket and black high heels, and swept her hair back into a neat ponytail.

Princess Eugenie is known to be close with the popstar, with Ellie singing at both the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding party in 2011 and at Princess Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank in October 2018.  

Meanwhile Eugenie and Jack were also among the guests when Ellie and Caspar were married at York Minster last summer.

The night out comes after Princess Eugenie joined her sister Princess Beatrice for an emotional video call with an award-winning fundraiser, who admitted her charitable efforts make her ‘feel closer’ to her grandson after he died from cancer.

The royal sisters called Teenage Cancer Trust Award winners last week – which included both fundraisers and frontline workers – to thank them for their contributions to the charity.

During the chat, they spoke with Enid Waterfall, 85, from Wrexham in Wales, who is said to be an ‘unstoppable fundraiser’ because she wants to show appreciation for the care her grandson Richard received when suffering with rare bone cancer Ewing’s Sarcoma, aged 21.

He sadly passed away in January 2018, and Enid dedicated her award to her grandson – causing the Queen’s granddaughters to become quite emotional.

The princesses remarked on the never-ending fundraising efforts Enid and her family have undertaken following Richard’s death – having raised more than £28,000.

Princess Eugenie said: ‘First of all, to hear about your grandson Richard – what an amazing thing to do, in honour of his memory. It almost chokes me up a bit because it must be so difficult to do that.

The grandmother replied: ‘You feel closer to Richard when you are doing it. It’s not me, it’s the people who give, the people who work with me and who keep giving money time after time. 

‘This really is for all those people, my family and for Richard who did so much fundraising before he died. I’m delighted to win this award.’

She apologised as she smiled and wiped away a tear and Princess Beatrice also dabbed at her eyes as she said: ‘Thank you for all your incredible work… for you and also for Richard’s legacy – thank you for everything.’
