And Warren, can you give this Ignorant Yankee a little info. on Pss Bea's arms? Thanks!

[Warren]

The standard Royal Arms differentiated by coronets rather than crowns as a daughter of a Duke, and a badge containing three bees as a pun on her name.

[CATS]

The bees actually have historical meaning as they are on the Ferguson clan badge.

Oh Cool Beans Cats and Warren! Thanks!

Maybe it's just a lazy eye. . . .?

Yeah, it's interesting the way that her eye droops like that on nights out.

Here are some private pics of Beatrice taken by her friends,
I wonder what Bea thinks about having them spread over the
internet.

Mortified?

I figured something like this was going to happen someday (private Facebook pictures going public). Since this friend "Sara" mentioned in the article has pictures of herself and Beatrice on her Facebook, anyone who's friends with Sara (not Beatrice) can see the pictures and sell them to the media, as they obviously did.

Also, though, the article mentions Beatrice's favourite books and movies listed on her Facebook profile. To see Beatrice's page, someone would actually have to be friends with Beatrice (or be part of a network she's joined). So it seems from this information that one of her "friends" betrayed her by spilling details of her Facebook page to the media.

Ah, I don't understand the intention behind resurrecting unflattering pictures of Beatrice originally posted 9 months ago (!) with the sole purpose of pointing out how unflattering they are, so those posts have been removed.

I honestly don't understand the hostility toward Princess Beatrice. She seems to be a truly nice person, although one who sometimes lacks judgment: but who doesn't at her age?

I would like to paraphrase and say "hostility is in the eye of the beholder" it is perfectly legitimate to question the money spent on a member of the BRF especially for the people who are British tax payers and whose money is being used.
Not all photographs are flattering either, it is also a kind of discrimination just picking out photographs that make the person look good just as it is to only put photographs making the person look wonderful although I agree dragging out photos that have been shown before can be boring.
We can see on the other threads that quite often very unflattering photos are shown of members of foreign royal families and some people find them looking good and others seem to think they look terrible. So it seems to me it is more a matter of taste than anything else. Perhaps we could be allowed to judge for ourselves.

Many expect more from the Royal Family.

Andrew is seen by some as someone with no regard to misuse of taxpayers money, for flights and golfing breaks. It doesn't matter if he spends 20 minutes at a meeting, trying to sell British companies for the benefit of the shareholders, if he is seen to tie it in with a golf break. Many see Beatrice and Eugenie following in his footsteps, the excuses over the cost of her accommodation are tediously familiar. No matter whether she is in St James's or No. 32 Grub Street, she will have (for some bizarre reason) protection officers on duty, 24/7. To hear, a presumably fit young woman is unable to manage to commute is amazing.
The whole accommodation fiasco seems designed to accommodate the late nights out with her mother and boyfriend.

Both Beatrice and Dave Clark, along with her mother the Duchess of York, were at Nick Haslam's party at Parkstead House. (You'll need to scroll to near bottom of the article to see Beatrice and Dave together.)

There is a video of the party at the Telegraph. Beatrice confessed to wearing a leather jacket for being cold. At least the girl's got some common sense to dress according to the weather. Although I'd think she's got nicer jackets in her wardrobe than a leather one for an evening dress.
