Her father has been nicknamed Air Miles Andy . And judging by her nine foreign jaunts since Christmas , it seems Princess Beatrice is keen to follow in his extremely well-trodden footsteps . Despite insisting she is ‘ exploring her career options ’ , the unemployed 26-year-old has found time to jet away for luxury ski trips , sun herself on a Caribbean yacht and party with her friends in Greece . Scroll down for video . Winter getaways : Princess Beatrice was spotted in St Barts at New Year 's ( left ) and later that month ( right ) Her string of holidays culminated in a flight to New York earlier this week to celebrate her sister Eugenie ’ s 25th birthday . Although Beatrice receives no public funding , her jet-set lifestyle is sure to attract criticism at a time when the Queen is keen to promote royal thriftiness . It also is likely to raise eyebrows given that she has not had a job since before Christmas . During the New York trip Beatrice , Eugenie and their mother the Duchess of York popped up via video link before an audience at St James ’ s Palace . Her father Prince Andrew , who was carrying out a public engagement at the palace , got his guests to sing Happy Birthday . It was Beatrice ’ s third US jaunt this year alone . She had already been spotted in New York in January before hitting the ski slopes of Aspen , Colorado , the following month . Ski trips : Beatrice , far left in white , Prince Harry , centre , and Eugenie , right in blue , in Verbier in February . At the time palace aides said she was in the US preparing to embark on a finance course . But sources said the course lasted ‘ barely a matter of days ’ . By early this month it was time for another holiday – a long weekend with friends in Greece . Beatrice ’ s ‘ job hunt ’ began after she quit a £19,500-a-year post at Sony Entertainment Pictures amid claims she was targeted by a North Korean cyber-attack on the firm . She has since soaked up the sun with boyfriend Dave Clark on two trips to Caribbean island St Barts , at one point staying on tycoon Lakshmi Mittal ’ s yacht . She also squeezed in three trips to her parents ’ £13million chalet in Verbier , Switzerland . Buckingham Palace said she was ‘ continuing to pursue a career in the business sector ’ . A source said the US course was ‘ always going to be a short-term thing ’ .
Sony Entertainment Pictures has been unemployed since quitting Beatrice . The 26-year-old royal insists she is now 'exploring her career options ' But she has found time for luxury ski trips and two holidays in Caribbean .
