Because obviously Sarah doesn't care about weight. Thats why we had reams of "Woe is me, I'm overweight" interviews and the whole Weight Watchers thing. {unnecessary personal comment deleted - Elspeth}

If it's an official or semi-official visit, she might recieve some beautiful jewellery, as other royal ladies have while visiting Arab-countries. I hope she is officially representing, the RF need some new blood.
I also hope that the Queen might consider sending the Duke of York and Princess Beatrice to the various royal events in Europe, instead of always sending the Wessexes. Beatrice would get to now other people in her own situation. The Princes of Luxembourg are even her own age, and some of the others aren't that much older. Of course, I would like to see the Wales-princes also, but they seem to busy with their army training.
No, I'm hoping for Beatrice. She could wear her mother's tiara and more of those beautful and daring hats she seems to like.

Beatrice, as you say, is not pretty. But her mother was very pretty, when she was young. She only has her mother's hair color. She looks like a Hannover, poor thing. She is truly Queen Victoria's great, great granddaughter.

That article about Bea's weight was completely uncalled for--it was rude and offensive. I think it may well have been an attack on Sarah as well because I'm sure it was written for people to say "like mother, like daughter". But, that whole "look at her backside" comment was completely inappropriate as well, In fact, Sarah even mentioning this incident on television was unwise because she was giving the press more attention.

Now, as for Bea's looks--are those calling the poor girl ugly not doing the same as this wretched journalist did with his "attack of the krispsy creams" comment? I don't think Bea is unattractive--bless her heart she's got some habits that don't help (too much of a wide eyed look, open mouth all the time) but look here:
http://content.answers.com/main/cont...ricetatler.jpg she looks a bit like Nicole Kidman, does she not?

I like this photo, too http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19.../Beatrice3.jpg

Now, granted, I am a vocal critic of Princess Bea's fashion, choices, lack of direction, etc....especially the fashion--but she is a pretty girl. Is she a stunning beauty? No--but she is pretty. Eugenie is a pretty girl, too, and has a more quiet personality I think which may be why she seems more appealing to us?

This is very true. As I've always said, the only thing Pss B shares w her mother is the hair color. She resembles her father and his side of the family entirely. However, I think she is quite pretty. Her style will get better as she gets older, but I like that she seems to do her own thing fashion-wise and not be a sheep and follow every trend out there.

The gents toilets are the last place you'd expect to find a princess who's fifth in line to the throne

I doubt even the Mail could invent such a story, so I guess it really happened that a princess of the Blood Royal followed her boyfriend into the gents toilet. And I thought she had some basic grip on manners....

Isn't this the same paper that has been publishing stories about Kate Middleton imminent engagement, Scotland Yard protection, her family's social climbing ways since 2005? Let's not be selective in what we believe, since Beatrice might not even be in the country to start with.

I won't say that Bea isn't pretty but I also believe the Eugenie is the prettier of the two York girls. I always thought Bea looked like Andrew with Sarah's hair color, and the poses she usualy does for the photogs really don't help. The professional pictures look good but even I could look good with a stylist and an air brush.
Bea looks so bored in one of the pictures and I am sure she was, but if she is going to be a public figure, she better figure out how to hide it a little better.

Yeah...she probably really doesn't need the near constant protection...it does seem ridiculous. Traveling is one thing but being on your home turf is another...

Notice its a 'chum' who is being quoted.

I suspect this story is being put about now because of the poor publicity that Beatrice has been getting lately.

So according to this article Beatrice is the innocent party and Andrew is the guilty party. People or "chums" are just trying to lighten up on Beatrice and make her father look mean or to protective.
