British Royal Wedding

Eugenie finds Sam-body to lean on – Daily Mail
Princess Eugenie has struck up a close friendship with Sam Sangster, the 23-year-old son of ‘career divorcee’ Susan Sangster. The 18-year-old Royal, who has just finished her A-levels, was photographed with the wealthy heir at Mayfair nightclub Mahiki on Wednesday night. Hours earlier the couple, who were with a group of mutual friends, had enjoyed dinner together at the Buddha Bar…

Eugenie out of the bottle – The Telegraph
Once upon a time, a Royal life would be marked with such milestones as an appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony or the first cutting of a red ribbon. Princess Eugenie, who turned 18 in March, completed a new rite of passage yesterday when she drank her first “crack baby” at Boujis…

Princess Beatrice’s fairy wings – Monsters & Critics
Britain’s Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are among the stars who have designed fairy wings to go up for sale in a charity auction next week. The young royals, along with their mother Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, were asked by the Walt Disney corporation to customise the accessories…

With impressive A-level results under her belt, Princess Eugenie was in the mood for fun on a evening out in London last night.

The young royal pulled out all stops for a fancy dress party at Kitts in London’s Kensington, charming onlookers with a bat of her rather lustrous pink fake eyelashes as she arrived.

She teamed her lashes with an equally bright top, black miniskirt, silver biker-style jacket and towering peep-toe stilettos.

Before hitting the popular nightclub, the 18-year-old dined at Locanda Locatelli with sister Princess Beatrice and mother Sarah Ferguson.

The trio have just returned from a family holiday in Spain, where they were celebrating Bea’s 20th birthday and Eugenie’s results.

I guess the British press can’t pass up a story about young princesses and their false eyelashes. The Daily Mirror ran a similar story on Princess Beatrice back in May of this year…

She was once persona non grata but relations between the Duchess of York and the Royal Family have thawed so much that Sarah Ferguson has enjoyed a week’s holiday at Balmoral.

Not only was it at the personal invitation of the Queen but the 48-year-old Duchess was also invited to extend her stay.

At the Scottish castle, which she had not visited since splitting from Prince Andrew, Fergie had a series of chats with the Queen and Prince Philip on future roles for her daughters, Beatrice, 20, and Eugenie, 18.

A source close to the Duchess said last night: ‘Sarah is very keen that the girls should live normal lives but she would definitely back them carrying out charity work in an official capacity.’

Beatrice starts a degree at Goldsmiths College in London in September after travelling around the world during her gap year.

She is said to be keen to do charity work and there are tentative plans for her to visit an orphanage in Romania with her mother later this year.

Eugenie is said to be planning a gap year after gaining good grades this summer in her A-levels.

A Royal aide said yesterday: ‘Sarah and Andrew always intended it to be the case that Beatrice and Eugenie would have a Royal role.

Princess Beatrice celebrates her 20th birthday today.

Princess Beatrice will celebrate her birthday with her parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, her sister, Eugenie, and the Queen at Balmoral.

Speaking in London earlier, Fergie said she was looking forward to a family party. She said: “It’s a very special birthday because she was born on 8/8/88 and now it’s 8/8/08. We’re having a very private party. I can’t tell you what her present is — that would spoil the surprise.” (via The Sun)

Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice of York (Beatrice Elizabeth Mary) was born at the Portland Hospital in London on 8 August 1988 weighing 6lb 12oz (3.06 kg).

Her father is The Prince Andrew, Duke of York, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II and The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Her mother is Sarah, Duchess of York.

Beatrice was named after Princess Beatrice, the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. She has one sibling, a younger sister, Princess Eugenie, born in 1990.

Princess Beatrice’s romance with one of Sir Richard Branson’s employees appears to be having unexpected benefits for all her family.

Mandrake hears that Beatrice, her sister, Princess Eugenie, and their mother, Sarah, Duchess of York, are enjoying a holiday at Sir Richard’s Caribbean island, Necker.

Beatrice has been courted by the American Dave Clark, 26, who works for Sir Richard’s Virgin Galactic space mission, for two years.

On Friday, they will celebrate her 20th birthday together. (via The Telegraph)

Royal regular Princess Beatrice returned to her new favourite club for the second evening running – but her consecutive nights on the tiles left her looking tired.

The 19-year-old was spotted in London’s Park Lane last night shortly after 9pm, leaving new nightspot Whisky Mist.

The club has become her favourite haunt since it opened three weeks ago but two visits in two days left the Princess appearing to be in need of some rest.

An onlooker said: “The Princess appeared to have enjoyed her night but was eager to get away and it wasn’t that late when she left.

“She’s been enjoying the club a lot recently and no wonder, it’s the place to be seen right now.”

Whisky Mist has become a runaway success for the owners of Mahiki, another venue popular with young royals and wealthy revelers.

The club, which charges £550 a year for membership, was promoted as an international venue for super-rich 40-somethings. (via Daily Mail)

Princess Beatrice proves she still has a thing or two learn about eye fashion – by going out for a night on the town in ridiculous looking false lashes.

At least Fergie’s 19-year-old daughter wasn’t wearing the wildly over-the-top butterfly hat that caused something of a sensation at Peter Phillips’ wedding.

Still, we have to credit the young royal with one thing – she looks pretty fresh-faced for 3.30am after a session at London hotspot, Boujis.

And everything else about her sleek, sexy outfit – the drop-waisted dress with ankle-strapped heels – was spot on for some nightclub fun with her boyfriend Dave Clark.

It’s just those spidery lashes that we can’t take our eyes off. Perhaps someone had better pass Bea the wink that they will raise nothing but eyebrows for all the wrong reasons. (via Daily Mirror)

The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has hit back at the British media for criticising her daughter Beatrice’s body shape, describing some comments as “extremely rude”.

The 19-year-old princess was photographed in a bikini during a Caribbean holiday earlier this year. One commentator in the Daily Mail said: “Can’t someone buy that girl a sarong?”

Sarah Ferguson told BBC Radio that the critical comments were potentially damaging.

“The press has been absolutely outrageous, and really being very mean about the size of her figure, calling her such horrible names,” she said. “I just think they ought to take more responsibility.

“I think her (Beatrice’s) comment was, ‘Will they be happy if I get anorexia because then they could write about that, wouldn’t they?’”

The Duchess said Beatrice was a regular size 10 and fit and healthy.

“I understand freedom of the press but what I don’t understand is when it takes a regular, completely healthy girl and tries to completely obliterate her confidence and I think they ought to be accountable.” (via News.com.au)

Princess Beatrice is moving into a pad handy for her new job – a lavish apartment at St James’s Palace.

The Queen is to let the 19-year-old – who The Sun this month revealed is working at Selfridges – pay a peppercorn rent for the fourbed home.

It is a stone’s throw from the famous department store in London’s Oxford Street where Bea has clinched a gap-year job as a personal shopper for VIP customers.

Royal servants spotted her mum Fergie and dad Prince Andrew inspecting the apartment this week. It boasts three bathrooms, a mega-size dining room and “huge” sitting room. Bea’s American boyfriend Dave Clark is expected to be a regular visitor.

One flunky said: “It’s beautiful and Beatrice will love it. It is right next to Clarence House so Prince Charles and Camilla will be immediate neighbours.”

Bea, who is fifth in line to the throne, currently lives with her divorced parents at Andy’s home Royal Lodge – the late Queen Mum’s house in Windsor. Bea had recently been looking to buy in the capital.

A friend said of the new apartment: “It makes perfect sense. Beatrice hopes to move in within weeks. Some decoration and alterations might be needed, but it should be ready. Obviously it will be nice for her to have a London base. She will also be able to make the most of the party and club scene.” (via The Sun)

When her mother Fergie was in a similar situation, she notoriously ended up having her toes sucked.

But sunbathing with her own American boyfriend, Princess Beatrice contented herself with merely wiggling those little piggies.

The 19-year-old, currently on her gap year, is enjoying a sunshine break on the Caribbean island of St Barts with Dave Clark, 25.

Happy to indulge in a public display of affection, she leaned over to kiss him while at one stage he wrapped his arms around his beaming girlfriend and lifted her out of the water.

Later, the red-headed princess was spotted rubbing sunscreen into Mr Clark’s back.

St Barts is the latest in a string of gap-year destinations for Beatrice, who is fifth in line to the throne.

She has taken in Argentina, Brazil, Spain and Belgium, not to mention two skiing trips to Switzerland.

She has also been spotted in Los Angeles. In January, she joined her father on an official visit to Egypt and Abu Dhabi. Read entire Daily Mail article here…
