Princess Eugenie has certainly captured the attention of the press after she was spotted wearing a star-spangled bikini while on holiday in Thailand. The Daily Mail reports;
There’s a state of emergency in Thailand at the moment. But Princess Eugenie only seems concerned about the dangers of tan lines.
After spending the day cavorting in a very unpatriotic bikini – which featured the Stars and Stripes – her pale English shoulders were beginning to colour.
Meanwhile over at The Sun…
152 Comments »Princess Eugenie danced on tables and downed beer laced with ketchup during a wild night in Thailand.
An onlooker on the holiday isle of Phuket, where the sixth in line to the throne is on a gap-year jaunt, said: “The Princess was with a couple of girls and a guy. One of her friends squirted some ketchup into a glass of beer and challenged her to drink it. They all fell about laughing as Eugenie swigged it.”
The night I met Prince Harry – Hertfordshire Mercury
Next stop was celebrity haunt Whiskey Mists at Zeta in the Park Lane Hilton. As I glanced at the table next to us I noticed Prince Harry sitting there with a harem of eight pretty blondes (and two very bored minders). Fuelled by a few more drinks I decided to gatecrash the table! Contrary to what is reported in the papers, Prince Harry was well behaved and actually quite shy and retiring!…

James Hewitt: the comeback cad – Telegraph
The fabled “Love Rat” who, four years after an affair with Diana, Princess of Wales ended, co-operated on a book with Anna Pasternak and later tried to sell the 60 letters he received from the Princess for £10 million… Does he find it odd that the Prince Harry rumours have endured so? “I can answer most things,” he says enigmatically, “but when it’s so close to you and it’s also so far from you… so I don’t know how much there is in that.”…

Like mother, like daughter: Princess Bea is the spitting image of Fergie – Daily Mail
With the same red hair, blue eyes and freckled skin, there is no mistaking the family ties in this photograph. But with a decidedly mumsy and unflattering outfit, Princess Beatrice looks more like her mother than she would perhaps like. The Princess has always showed her mother’s influence, but they are becoming more alike as Bea grows older…

Most teenage daughters wouldn’t be seen dead in the same clothes as their mothers.
But it appears Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were taking style tips from their mother as they stepped out at Milan Fashion Week last night.
The trio looked like they had dressed from the same wardrobe as they attended designer Roberto Cavalli’s post-show party wearing little black dresses with plunging necklines.
Leading the way down the red carpet was the 49-year-old Duchess of York, who is an old friend of the Italian designer, in a low cut spaghetti strap dress with a puffball skirt.
Goldsmiths University student Beatrice, 20, was dressed the most modestly of the three with a heart-shaped neckline and capped sleeves, while her 18-year-old sister Eugenie flashed her legs in a T-shirt dress.

The real royal rebel: Watch out Harry! Princess Eugenie’s about – Daily Mail
Prince Harry usually bears the mantle of Wild Child of the Royal Family, but now sixth-in-line to the throne Princess Eugenie has finished school and is — increasingly — left to her own, riotous devices, she seems a shoo-in for the spot. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised at such behaviour from the daughter of Prince ‘Air Miles’ Andrew and fun-loving Fergie, but she is effortlessly out-partying her young cousin…

Now Kate Middleton the hot shot becomes a deer-stalker – Daily Mail
Kate Middleton is to take up deer-stalking as a serious pastime – a move likely to infuriate animal rights campaigners already enraged that she shoots game.

Comments OffGap-year for Princess Eugenie: Beach hut and a hippy night out – Daily Mail

Pippa Middleton joins the party – The Guardian
Knowing how you adore a new, slightly recherche celebrity, it seems the right time to open your cage door and usher in Pippa Middleton. Last month, Pippa was voted No 1 in Tatler’s list of the “200 coolest kids in town”, which is a bit like heading Jade Goody’s list of the top 200 public intellectuals…
Princess Beatrice’s St. James Reason – Fashion.ie
While the opulent St James’ Palace was always going to be more appealing than student digs, Princess Beatrice says she had a benevolent reason for turning down Goldsmiths College’s halls of residence. “I gave up my place in halls because I live only half an hour from campus.” She continued: “I thought the room would be better use to someone who had further to travel.”…
The Duchess doesn’t do the credit crunch – Daily Mail
I went to meet the Duchess of York at Harrods yesterday for the launch of her new children’s book, Tea for Ruby.

Princess Eugenie narrowly escaped the Mumbai massacre, The Sun can reveal.
The Queen’s 18-year-old granddaughter left the terror-hit city four days before the attacks.
It is thought she visited the Oberoi Hotel and the Leopold cafe where the massacre began. She was on the first leg of her Indian backpacking trip.
Eugenie was accompanied by armed protection cops. But last night a senior source admitted they would have been “little defence during the massacre. It has sent shockwaves through the palace. It doesn’t bear thinking about.”
Eugenie and five pals were en route to Delhi when the attack occurred. (via The Sun)
