Britain’s Princess Beatrice visited Peru’s ancient Inca site of Machu Picchu on Wednesday, the second day of her visit to the mountainous Andean nation, the British embassy here (Lima) said.
Beatrice, 18, was due to stay until Thursday at the site of the pre-Columbian city, a spectacular terraced array of sanctuary buildings bound by soaring peaks and tropical forest.
The princess is fifth in line to the British throne as the daughter of Queen Elizabeth II’s second son, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, and the Duchess, Sarah Ferguson.
She was accompanied on the trip by four people, including friends and guards.
Machu Picchu, labelled one of the seven wonders of the world, also received visits this year from the Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz and Microsoft tech tycoon Bill Gates. Beatrice’s mother visited it in 2005. (via AFP)

I don’t read many stories about Bea or Eugene. Well, maybe bcoz they’re not 2nd or 3rd line to the throne ;p *lol*
I hope they wouldn’t turn into “bad girl” type. It’s nice if they could supply positive images of the royal family.
She was checking out of my hotel in Cusco when I was checking in. I’d never actually heard of her before and asked the front desk girl why everyone was getting their picture taken with her.
