She spent last weekend hobnobbing with Middle Eastern royals in Bahrain, but that clearly isn't enough for jetsetting Princess Beatrice.

The royal arrived in Florence yesterday for a fashion conference and has spent much of the past 24 hours partying with fashion's biggest names.

Today, a businesslike Beatrice was all ears as she listened to the speakers at the Condé Nast International Luxury Conference.

Lost in thought: The Princess looked serious as she listened to the presentations being made on stage

Afterwards, she stopped to pose with US designer Tory Burch - the latest in a string of big name designers to strike a pose with the Princess in the last 24 hours.

Last night, she was photographed enjoying a chat with Ralph Lauren's middle son David during a lavish party at the sprawling Palazzo Corsini.

She also met International Vogue Editor Suzy Menkes and Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld during the first day of the conference, which is being held at the 700-year-old Palazzo Vecchio.

The glamorous gathering in Florence is just the latest in a series of glitzy jaunts for the jet-setting royal, who has faced criticism in recent weeks over the amount of time she spends abroad.

In the last two months alone, she has enjoyed skil holidays in Verbier, where her parents own a luxury chalet, and Colorado, and travelled to Greece, New York and, most recently, Bahrain.

There, she was joined by boyfriend Dave Clark and viewed the action from a private box beside the country's Crown Prince, Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.

She was also pictured enjoying a chat with another royal famed for his love of luxury living, Spain's big-spending former king Juan Carlos II.

Unfortunately for Beatrice, her travelling days could be numbered with the Princess on the verge of relocating to the New York to take up a new job.

The job, which is thought to be in finance, will be her first since leaving her internship at Sony following last November's cyber attacks.

Since then, her life has been a round of parties and beaches, beginning with a trip to the Middle East to see the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix the same month.

Days later Beatrice and Mr Clark, a Virgin Galactic executive, flew to Beijing, where they joined her mother Sarah Ferguson and sister Eugenie for the wedding of photographer and graphic designer Victoria Tang to Hong Kong lawyer Christopher Owen.
