Princess Beatrice of York Current Events 16: July 2015-June 2017

[Mermaid1962]

The Yorks, as a family, don't seem to be given the benefit of the doubt very often.

I'm with Zonk on this one. There was a sword or some such and Ed Sheeran sustained a cut to his face. They are the only things we know for certain. Everything else is lurid hyperbole.

As to all the "shame, shame, shame, we know she did all these other things (drinking, disrespecting her grandmother, pranks) it because her mother did the same twenty years ago" whatever are you thinking? Why is it that on the York threads natural suspicion of the media or of the behaviour of a specific royal goes right out the window. It must be so because a rag said so.

I don't think that is quite the case here. If Harry had done something like this, there would have been outrage, and quite justifiably so.

In this case, I think the criticism is perfectly justifiable. This has nothing to do with Andrew or Sarah, just Beatrice herself. You do not want stories of this type to ever come out.

I think they are given the benefit of doubt far too often by some. As has been said imagine what would be said if that was Harry.

All we know is that guy has a cut on his cheek and the press reported it as Bea's doing..I think the press is just rehashing Sarah's old mock knighting stories onto Bea and people brought it, but then again bizarre things happen all the time

 

[Tarlita]

Our Australian media said yesterday, that James Blunt insisted jokingly that Beatrice - Knight him. She took the sword from where it was displayed on the wall and as she tried to Knight James she accidently swung the sword behind her shoulder where Ed Sheerhan was standing.
At any rate Ed doesn't look at all upset about it. AND he has an interesting story to tell his grandchildren. About how A Real Life Princess cut him with a Sword, when he explains his little scar.
I feel sorry for Beatrice as she knows that the media will crucify her over this and social media too.

I bet Beatrice won't be repeating that party trick! Ed doesn't seem to be worried about it anyway!

For those worried about the veracity of the story that Beatrice actually did accidently inflict a wound on Ed

 

[Mermaid1962]

I wouldn't be surprised if that sword might have been heavier than Beatrice thought it would be. In any case, it's good that the victim can laugh about it. Many would sue.

It's a fantastic initiative, kind if reminds me of shark tank or dragons den, and a great way yo encourage new business and ideas. Nice to see Andrew working to spread it in the gulf. And if Beatrice is as interested in business as said, this kind of trip is good exposure

From the article "...once enjoyed a night out with Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter." - suggesting a 'bond' based on one shared dinner seems a stretch.
This comment, "'She's really lovely, really ambitious girl.'" I find interesting as I've never thought of Beatrice as being particularly ambitious. Of course it's one thing to be ambitious but another all together to have the determination, dedication and drive to realize your ambitions.

Sans context about the nature of the ambition, I am also perplexed. What kind of ambition? To be married? To have a high power job? To work for Granny? To wipe out world poverty? To own 20 Birkin bags? Or what?

Sounds like generalities.

She's met Beatrice, doesn't know much about her, and resorts to filler. Probably happens all the time with the RF.

I like the I idea that Princess Beatrice brought goodie bags and cookies to the children. She also visited Hudderfield University

Princess Beatrice Attended Popsurgar’s Master Storytellers

It was a dynamic panel featuring female entrepreneurs whom shared their expertise and insights over dinner. I would think Princess Beatrice was there to show her support to her friend, Misha Nonoo who was one of the speakers at the event.

Beatrice has attended a number of these type of events, both with her dad and on her own. I have noticed at least a handful of appearances at events to inspire young entrepreneurs.

I don't know how Beatrice will live this down

 

[AdmirerUS]

the same way we all learn from stupid mistakes - we learn from them.

No chance that she will ever be allowed to knight anybody!

On the bright side, just think of the stories he'll have to tell his grandchildren one day. Grandfathers are always granted a bit of poetic license with their tales too.

Fair point, though the basic story here is a pretty good one from which he can start to build out a tale.
