Thanks Char Lou and Iceflower for the photos. Is her visit part of some scholastic project or just personal interest? I know she's traveling w the body guards but is anyone else along for the trip as well: friends, family, school mates?

[iceflower]

I've no idea, Bella, but as to family members, we would have seen
Eugenie, if she was with her, Sarah has been in New York yesterday
evening and Andrew will have his state visit from tomorrow on..

Here are the pics from today:

I guess you're right, Iceflower, other family members would have been photographed, too. It seems sorta odd that she's there by herself (not counting the BGs). Do princesses at this age have (female) attendants who travel w them, take care of their wardrobes, etc.? Regardless, they're nice photos. Her choice of clothing is unususal, but I guess it's her personal style. What's with that hat?

[Char_Lou]

i like her clothes obviously it's not the right clothe to wear cuz there u have to climb a lot of mountains and it's a long trip from cusco city to Sacsayhuaman and when u are there the trip is at least 3 hours 4 you to know all those stories. blah blah, it's a wonderful place.

In terms of style, she looks like she's trying to go all Kate Moss/Irina Lazareanu. But failing badly.

I really admire her wisdom in wearing mittens. The UV at that altitude in the Southerm Hemishere is extreme. I think UV exposure on the back of the hands causes liver spots in middle age.

She looked hideous. She needs to read this board and take some hints.

Do Beatrice and Eugenia have their own tiaras...like that actually belong to them and fit their titles? I was always curious about that...

[BeatrixFan]

Can I be very direct and ask why Beatrice is in Peru?

No, they don't have their own tiaras, and their mother has just the one.

Seeing the wonder that is Machu Picchu, something I'm sure many of us would like to do if we had the opportunity.

That sucks...I'd demand one! I guess they can't......I can't believe Sarah still has one. LOL

[auntie]

Well I'm sure that if she would have been a nice faithful wife, HM would have pulled out another trinket from the treasure chess!

Does PBea represtent the UK on official occasions?

It sounds like she hasn't reached that point yet....I guess at that point she'll get to wear something special.

Trinny & Susannah say:

No horizontal stripes for a curvy girl!!! NO, NO, NO!

Please, someone, take this girl somewhere to learn how to dress like someone in her "station". ROAR!

Especially as resetting precious stones in a more modern fashion is not that expensive!

[Bella]

I'm just curious (a discussion came up about this), when a member of the BRF travels - such as Pss Beatrice on her trip to Peru - and they are not on official state business, who picks up the tab: taxpayers or the personal account of the royal in question, in this case, Pss B's parents?

Bea or her parents would pay for this trip. Her bodyguards are covered though.

[chrissy57]

Private trips are covered by the private monies of the family.

Only official trips get money from the government but that is because when they are travelling officially they are doing so on behalf of the government.

Their bodyguards are members of the British police force and as such they get their pay from the government. Their job is to go where their principal is so they get to go and as it is their job the government would be paying for them.

I didn't know she wants her own clothing line...will she be the first royal to brand herself...LOL
