Britain's Princess Beatrice has reportedly quit her job in finance and is spending the summer enjoying holidays around the world.

The 25-year-old royal - who is the daughter of Prince Andrew and granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth - "quietly left" the investment firm she has been employed by for a year, according to the Daily Mail newspaper, and is spending her new-found free time in the sun.

It's thought Beatrice is currently taking in the summer heat with her parents at a luxurious Spanish villa in Sotogrande, which is just the latest in a string of holidays over the past couple of months.

The young royal has been spotted travelling to the South of France on three occasions with her boyfriend Dave Clark, and was even seen in the company of Hollywood A-listers Ashton Kutcher and girlfriend Mila Kunis on one trip.

Beatrice then jetted off to Venice in Italy with her sister Eugenie, 23, two weeks ago, where they spent time with their mother, Sarah Ferguson, supermodel Kate Moss and Jools Holland.

She also reportedly spent a long weekend with her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, at her summer residence, Balmoral in Scotland.

Despite her jet-setting summer, friends close to the royal insist she is looking for a new job and is "committed" to her career.

A source said: "She is already looking for another job. She wants to continue using the experience she has already garnered and now is at the interview stage."
