Sisterly love: Beaming bride-to-be Princess Eugenie shares a playful snap with her 'beautiful big sissy' Beatrice after joining Instagram
- Eugenie shared a playful selfie with her big sister on her new Instagram feed
- She joined network last week and has already amassed over 27,000 followers
- The picture is thought to have been taken in 2016 at a royal engagement
Beatrice and Eugenie may be the granddaughters of the Queen - but in some ways they're just like any other twentysomething women.
As proven by the snap Princess Eugenie, 27, has shared on her brand new Instagram account, which shows the playful sisters pulling faces for the camera.
Far from occasionally stiff royal family portraits, or images of the two women captured at formal events under the watchful eye of the public, the candid picture captures the closeness of the sisters' relationship.
In it, grinning bride-to-be Eugenie nuzzles her sister's cheek, while a mischievous Beatrice, 29, rolls her eyes to the ceiling and pokes out her tongue.
The picture is thought to have been taken in 2016, when the sisters attended the Patron's Lunch in London in honour of the Queen's 90th birthday.
The post has been liked thousands of times, with many of Eugenie's followers leaving gushing comments of support.

The bride-to-be kicked off her foray into social media with a moving clip of herself discussing her battle with scoliosis that was filmed an event at Wembley Arena.
Eugenie follows just 14 people on her account, including her mother Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, and the official accounts for other members of the royal family.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry and his fiance Meghan regularly appear on the Kensington Palace Instagram page, though they do not have their own personal accounts.
Meghan closed down her popular account before announcing her engagement to Harry last year.

Eugenie recently announced her engagement to former bar manager Jack Brooksbank.
Jack popped the question when the couple were on holiday in Nicaragua last month with the unusual ring; a padparadscha sapphire surrounded by diamonds.
The wedding will take place on October 12, in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, where Harry and Meghan will tie the knot in May.
The date falls on a Friday, breaking with royal tradition of holding weddings on the weekend.
