Princess Beatrice celebrated her 33rd birthday this past weekend and the moment was marked with some special posts on Instagram.

The royal's mom, Sarah Ferguson, posted an image of flowers and said, “Happy birthday my magical Beatrice.” Meanwhile, her husband, the ever-romantic Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, posted a selfie of himself and Princess Beatrice on the beach, with a caption that said, “Happy Birthday my love. I love you with all my heart.”

But while we were obsessing over these posts, we almost missed an amazing slideshow that was uploaded by her sister, Princess Eugenie. The youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Ferguson put together a series of photos ranging from her and Princess Beatrice's youth all the way to their adulthood.

In the caption, the royal wrote, “Happy Birthday to my big sissy.. BeaBea you are sensational and I have loved every minute watching you be brave and true...and you ♥...and now a mummy to be :) #iloveyou.”

Princess Eugenie first revealed “BeaBea's” nickname a couple years ago, when she posted a different slideshow and said, “You have been bossing it since before I was born and continue to be the most wonderful person, friend and big sister… Happy Birthday to you Beabea!! Xx.”

But while we were already aware of the nickname, we were still thrilled to see so many never-before-seen photos of the sisters. The video compilation showed the duo attending sporting events, petting dolphins and holding hands as small children, while also featuring snaps of them standing on top of mountains, holding dogs and posing for selfies all grown up.

Although Princess Beatrice doesn't have an official Instagram account, plenty of royal followers still showed their love in the comments, like one who said, “HBD Princess Beatrice. It would be great if you joined IG as well. Wishing you all the happiness.” Another commented, “This is so sweet!”

Please keep these sister slideshows coming, Eugenie.
