She may seventh in line from the throne but that didn't stop Princess Beatrice from becoming the first member of the Royal family to compete in a triathlon.

And now the 28-year-old can count a five kilometre race among her athletic achievements, after completing the Lady Garden race in London's Hyde Park.

The Princess of York took part to raise money for the Silent No More Gynaecological Cancer Fund.

Just like us! Pictured left, the Princess crossed the line looking slightly flushed, it appeared even those of noble birth perspire like mere mortals do (left). Right, Beatrice posed happily in a Lady Garden hooded sweater after the event

Pictured crossing the line looking slightly flushed, it appeared even those of noble birth perspire like the rest of us.

Wearing a light pink t-shirt, leggings and trainers, the Royal looked every inch the athlete as she took part with hundreds of runners from across the city.

She started the race at the front, surrounded by fellow women who were taking part in the female-only fun run.

The run took place around London’s Hyde Park and saw 500 runners take part.

The aim of the run was to raise money for vital research into gynaecological cancers.

The Princess completed the race and afterwards posed for a photograph proudly wearing the Lady Garden hooded sweatshirt with her hair restyled into a loose side-plait.

She politely stood for pictures with other runners who were thrilled to have a member of the Royal family among them.

This is by no means the first sporting event the Princess has taken part in.

Last September, the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, the Duchess of York, climbed more than 6,000m in altitude by bike and foot.

She also swam 3km and cycled 110km to raise money for a charity she set up called Big Change, which hopes to help young people with dyslexia.

Speaking at the time, she said she hoped pupils with the disorder would one day be able to thrive in school like any other student.

The 28-year-old royal, who has dyslexia herself, ran and hiked more than 30km up Mount Etna - an active volcano - after swimming 3km and cycling 110km to raise money for Big Change.

She was the first royal triathlete to take part in such an event.

Beatrice set up the charity Big Change with Sir Richard Branson's children Sam, 31, and Holly, 34, to give young people the 'necessary tools they need to thrive in life'.

The Lady Garden Run was sponsored by lululemon, D&D London, TOTM, Katharine Pooley and IVI fertility. For more information on the symptoms of gynaecological cancer, click here
