I saw the video. I love her voice. Its wierd because ive never heard her voice before and i was always longing to hear it. She seems really nice and down to earth

I've never really taken any interest in Princess Beatrice but I've just looked through various threads about her and she is so lovely! I admire her for appearing so grounded regardless of all that is going on around her. The video was nice to see and her accent is quite different to how I imagined but I like it alot! I hope we can see her taking part in more activites in the future!

Thanks for posting this picture, Purple. I think it's a great shot and highlights Princess Beatrice's natural beauty. I like the whole 60s look to what she's wearing, too.

Thanks for sharing the picture Purple. To bad the coloring is off. She is a beautiful young lady.

This article explains the diference between the pictures.
Apparently Nikolai altered some colours on Bea's face. Personally I like the pic with a bit more colour and a bit more natural more. This one is too unnatural, imo.
The article is from the Royalist and I don't generally trust it but I belive htis one is pretty accurate.

On the backcover of this month's 'Vorsten' (a really nice Dutch royalty magazine) there was this tremendous pic of Andrew, Sarah, Beatrice and Eugenie at Beatrice's 18th birthday party! I thought it was nice to share with you all, so I scanned it!

I think the dresses are really fab! I adore costumed parties like these!

What a wonderful portrait of Beatrice! I like the perspective a lot and Beatrice looks very beautiful. The best thing of course is the fact that all profits will be donated - that's a great gesture!

She is a very pretty young lady and looks the spitting image of her mother imo

Royal Fan · #12 08-12-2006, 10:43 PM

It just hit me of why Eugenie may not have been smiling in a lot of her early years pictures and why she doesn't seem to smile in many of them today (regardless of the braces). She seems to be always overshadowed by Beatrice's beauty and outgoing personality. Any other comments on this?

Same here. I think it's a great photo of her but I think the one with more color looks much better.

She and Eugenie both looked wonderful at her birthday party.

Thank you for the confirmation. I wonder if there are any more official pictures of Bea for her birthday. Usually there is more than just 1

Somehow for me it looks like the pic of a vampire about to bite: the colouring, the sharp tooth only partially concealed by the lips, the dark eyes with that intense look.... LOL!

I don't think this is it. Pss. Eugenie is quite pretty, many ppl find her more attractive than Pss. Beatrice. If it's not the braces, maybe it's just her personality. I remember reading an article where Sarah said she had always instructed her daughters to smile for photographers, that it was their "duty" to appear upbeat and friendly, that ppl didn't want to see princesses with sour looks on their faces. Beatrice by all accounts is well aware of her responsibilities as a British royal and seems to rise to the occasion. I've never heard that of Eugenie. Maybe it's because she's the 2nd daughter (the "spare" in the York family) and doesn't feel as strongly about her duties as a princess. Or maybe she could just care less. I don't know. But Beatrice is by far the more appealing and approachable, IMO.

**Zonk** · #18 08-13-2006, 11:44 AM

I remember reading an article on Sarah and she is talking about her daughter's and their personalities. I believe it was Majesty. She indicated that Beatrice had more of a show personality, and she like the protocol and the majesty (by that I mean the ceremonial aspects of their heritage) and Eugenie liked things to be more low key. This is not to say that she also didn't appreciate her heritage but I get the feeling if she was just an ordinary girl...she wouldn't miss the press, publicity and all that comes with it.

HaHa! This is funny. A vampire, maybe. But a very pretty one.
