“Day-dreaming” Princess Beatrice late to class
Princess Beatrice turned up 20 minutes late yesterday for her first university lecture — after a night out.
Bea, 20, looked red-faced as she sat down next to stunned fellow students for the 10am talk. She did not take notes and seemed to be day-dreaming during the 50-minute lecture on philosophy.
The night before she had a late dinner with American boyfriend Dave Clark, 25, in West London.
A student at the lecture yesterday said: “It must have been embarrassing for Beatrice. All the others were already sat down listening and it was very quiet, so all eyes turned to her. She just kept her head down, went a bit red, walked to the nearest desk and sat down.”
“The male lecturer looked at her but didn’t say anything. Another member of staff had brought her into the lecture hall, so I think she had to be shown the way. Beatrice took out a really posh-looking leather-bound book to jot down notes in but she did not actually write anything at all in it.”
“Every time I looked at her she seemed to be day-dreaming.”
Later the daughter of Princess Andrew and Fergie found there would be no special privileges as she joined the back of a long coffee queue.
But Bea, who was wearing a woolly hat, black shirt and jeans, and leopard-print shoes, seemed to have settled into university life as she chatted and laughed with three students on her break. (via The Sun)

I dont believe this but…
I have had my days where i have been ut all night and I have to go to school the next day (im in high school). And I pretty much day dream everyday.

I dont know why they make a big deal out of this. I am a university student as well and have been late to class a few times. All students have been late too class for at least one time in their lives.

Welcome to university Bea. Not the way you want to start. Get in the game.

Well, I’m a university professor and I respect opinions concerning the importance of arriving to class on time. I know that some students have a tentency of arriving to class at the last minute. In my classes, a student will arive late only once…not twice.

Do you kick them out?
My mom goes to college and she was kicked out of class for a week because she was late. she didnt learn any of the things he taught because she wasnt there so she had to drop the class

I think it’s kind of brilliant…she wants people to remember she’s a regular person too, not a snob or a doormat

Weren’t there pictures of Pippa sitting in the front row though?
Looks like someone else was decent enough to get up after all even if the Princesses weren’t. IF that is true (and I doubt it), Bea and Eugenie need a big lesson in politeness and modesty…

its funnt that you said that because their mom wrote that manners book and she said that she wants to teach children to grow up well mannered like her daughters.
