As family resemblances go, theirs could hardly be closer. But would Queen Victoria be amused to know Princess Beatrice is her spitting image.

With one hand on her notebook and the other clutching a girlfriend for support, Princess Eugenie made her first foray into student life at Newcastle University yesterday.

Servants made the five hour, 290-mile journey from Royal Lodge at Windsor, in a people carrier and a car laden with suitcases, boxes and yellow bags from Selfridges.

Arriving on campus they unloaded her gear into the £96-a-week accommodation where Eugenie, sixth in line to the throne, will be living. Although she has her own en-suite bedroom – with a single bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and desk – Prince Andrew’s younger daughter will be sharing a kitchen and lounge with five other undergraduates.

The princess will spend the next three years studying for a BA Hons Combined Studies degree in English, History of Art and Politics. (via Daily Mail)

The Daily Mail’s Katie Nicholl says that Princess Beatrice has taken up sports to maintain her new slim figure…

Princess Beatrice is so thrilled with the reaction to her newly trim figure that she has embarked on a health kick.

The Princess shed 10lb by giving up alcohol. Now she has taken up sport to keep the pounds at bay.

‘Bea’s lifestyle adjustment has worked wonders for her figure,’ says a chum. ‘She’s not naturally sporty but her boyfriend Dave Clark has offered to go on jogs and play tennis with her.’

Her curves have come under criticism in the past, but Princess Beatrice is fighting back with a knock-out new body.

The 20-year-old looked in incredible form as she left London’s Mayfair Hotel with her mother Sarah Ferguson last night after attending the African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust charity gala.
