Princess Eugenie and friends mugged in Cambodia

Princess Eugenie Mugged - headline in The Sun

Princess Eugenie and her friends have been mugged while on their travels in Cambodia. The Sun newspaper has the story

The Queen’s horrified granddaughter, 19, was rescued by two bodyguards who tackled a gang of bandits in Cambodia. The royal protection officers then whisked her to safety.

The scare unfolded as Prince Andrew and Fergie’s daughter and two gap-year girl pals walked at night in Phnom Penh. When one of her pals got a purse out, the mugger grabbed it thinking the girls were backpackers. The cops were just feet away.

A Buckingham Palace source praised the SO14 Special Branch officers. The source said: “They feared the incident was escalating out of control and took the decision to focus on the safety of their principal.”
