Holiday-loving Beatrice quits her fourth job in five years to form a start-up venture
Princess will pursue "entrepreneurial ambitions" when she gets back from ANOTHER holiday
HOLIDAY-loving Princess Beatrice is to leave her fourth job in five years to pursue her "entrepreneurial ambitions".
Prince Andrew's eldest daughter will leave her post at a New York investment firm to become a business consultant - but only once she has returned from holidaying in the Greek islands with friends.
The job-hopping jet-setter's latest trip abroad comes just five weeks after she holidayed in the south of France.
In June sources said the daughter of Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson was to be "let go" from her role with Manhattan firm Sandbridge Capital.
The claim was denied by aides who said Beatrice was only in Britain in June for a "work project" and to support the Queen during her 90th birthday celebrations.
The aides insisted she had moved to "another department within the same company" and that she would return to the firm in July.
"She and some other people have set up a consultancy business under the auspices of Sandbridge Capital."
The friend confirmed Beatrice was not sacked, added: "She was working, she resigned and is now concentrating her efforts on this start-up.
Job-hopping jet-setter Princess Beatrice's five careers in five years
After leaving uni Beatrice worked as a "research associate" at her mother's charity Children in Crisis between September 2011 and January 2012.
In February 2012 she joined investment firm Cabot Square Capital but quit 16 months later.
Beatrice joined Sony Pictures as an "international production analyst" at Sony Pictures in January 2014, but quit the £19,500 role a year later.
In May last year she joined Sandbridge Capital in New York.
This year she is embarking on her fulfilling her "entrepreneurial ambitions" by launching her own company as a business consultant.
"She wanted to be more entrepreneurial, so she was set up her own unit within the group, but as a separate unit."
Another friend of the princess said: "Beatrice is a young girl making her own way in the world and finding her feet.
"She should be applauded for striking out on her own, not vilified."
On the way to reaching her fifth job in as many years, Beatrice has developed a reputation for clocking up the air miles with luxury holidays.
Between December 2014 and December 2015 she went on 18 jaunts abroad, including a trip on Roman Abramovich's £1.5billion super-yacht in Ibiza.
The princess' lifestyle is not funded by the taxpayer.
Buckingham Palace said: "Princess Beatrice continues to pursue a career in business.
"Beyond this we have never commented on individual employers.
"We would not comment on how the princess is spending her private time.
