Royal sisters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have shed a light on one of their "silly childhood fights".
During an appearance on Cressida Bonas's podcast titled 'Lessons From Our Mothers', the sibling duo took a trip down memory lane and recalled one particularly memorable incident involving a pair of pink Converse trainers.
On the subject of reconciliation, Beatrice, 36, explained how the pair had a "big fight" over who the trainers belonged to, before later making up at the request of their mother.

The forced collaboration, you're slightly annoyed about because she's pushing on a bit of a nerve, but the forced collaboration and that joy of the making up at the end was a big part of what she instilled in us.

Elsewhere on the podcast, Eugenie recalled the time her mother "moved into hospital" with her during her scoliosis operation.

"And she used to be so proud of me and my scar and what I'd been through, that if people were ever talking about it, she would turn me around and she would show them my scar."
Eugenie and Beatrice's bond with their mother
Sisters Eugenie and Beatrice share an incredibly tight-knit bond with their mother. Over the years, they have attended numerous events together and have teamed up on various charity projects.

During an exclusive interview with HELLO!, Sarah spoke about their unbreakable bond and revealed the sweet term they use to describe themselves.
"They support me through thick and thin, not least my recent illness. We call each other 'The Tripod' because we prop each other up, come what may," the author said.
