Have either of them ever attended a State Banquet? That's probably the only occasion when we'd expect to see them in tiaras.

Not that we're aware of.

I can't ever remember them at the kind of event that would require a tiara. Thanks for the confirmation, Warren.

Beatrice looks great she must have lost a lot of weight in her training. I admire all of the team taking on this challenge its huge and of course I wish them all the best!

I'm running in the Belfast Marathon on May 3rd but as part of a relay team

 

[iceflower]

Then good luck and lots of fun for you as well, crm2317!

The team used the time after their photo session for a last-
minute shopping at the ExCel Centre:

Thanks iceflower I appreciate it we are all training hard!
Beatrice and her friends look amazing in their outfits I saw them a few moments ago on the tv at around 19 miles so they are doing very well!

 

[christinacg]

Beatrice looks fantastic. You can tell she's been training hard. Good for her. They all look cute!

 

[iceflower]

It's done and as I've expected it, Sarah was there to support
Beatrice. So far my favourite pic of the day :

Princess Beatrice is hugged by her mother the Duchess of York after
she completed the London Marathon, London, Sunday April 25, 2010.

I'm so glad they wore all their names on their clothing. I don't think I ever would have picked Dave or Beatrice out w/o it. . . .

 

[Sister Morphine]

Beatrice needs to learn to smile differently. She has large gums and teeth and when she smiles, it looks weird.

 

[iceflower]

Interesting to know, Russo

By now I found out that Prince Andrew and Princess Eugenie were
there as well:

** Sarah and Eugenie ** Sarah and Andrew **

It's great to see the relief, the joy and the family support!

Here's an additional gallery, including pics of the team after the marathon:

I watched Beatrice coming across the line and she seemed very emotional and rightly so! The group formed up for photos after and the Duchess of York kept sneaking in with her own camera to take photos. She then went to give her girl a big hug, Beatrice looked like she was crying.

Here's a short interview of Beatrice before the marathon. It starts at about 24 seconds in.

Well done, Beatrice! Running 26 miles is impressive even if it took 5 hours. I like how the whole family turned out to support her, as well.

Edited to add: I found this picture of Andrew congratulating Beatrice on Getty Images. This is my favourite of the pics. Getty Images - Unsupported browser detected

aw good job Beatrice glad she took part in this and it was for a good cause.

 

[Nichola]

Well Done Beatrice!

How sweet that her family were there to support her!!

 

[udyusa]

Thank you, rmay. That has to be the nicest photo of all.

 

[Sister Morphine]

I couldn't imagine running 26 miles, so good on Beatrice for finishing! :-D

 

[rmay286]

Thank you, rmay. That has to be the nicest photo of all.

You're welcome. I really like the photo, too.

There are more pictures of Andrew at the marathon on gettyimages.com, mostly with Sarah. There are hardly any pictures of Eugenie, but she was definitely there.

A wonderful achievement.

Well done. I think the BRF should be proud of Beatrice's achievement

 

[Zonk]

Well done Beatrice.

I ran the Marine Corps Marathon here in the States a couple of years ago. And for those of us who dont' like to run. 26.2 miles is no joke.
I run because I have to stay in shape. There are those who truly enjoy running!

Same catty comments on the Daily Mail as per usual. Celebrity or not, congratualtions to ALL who participated. I don't understand the hate...if you see Princess Beatrice or someone famous or someone who is not famous...running and completing a marathon...perhaps others will try? I know thats why I decided to do it...not someone famous...but a personal friend..and I thought...Why can't I do that?!

And if it raises money for charity...who cares who runs? I ran for the Whitman Walker AIDS Clinic in DC and let me tell you I felt better about raising money for them than finishing it for me.

 

[Russophile]

Good for you and Beatrice, Zonk. Russo is a walker. She walks for Cancer. If she ran like the both of you she most likely would blow her chocolate chips all over the course and wouldn't THAT be loverly?

 

[NoorMeansLight]

Wow, 26 miles!!!!! Well done Beatrice, great achievement!!!!!!

 

[udyusa]

Well done, indeed! I couldn't Crawl 26 miles even if I tried... lol

 

[NoorMeansLight]

On the contrary, I could jolly well do it if I wanted to.... With my Honda Civic...
