According to the article, it was raining. Hoodies are great for walking around in the rain...I know from experience.  It's not like she wore a hoodie to an official public function!
But yes, definitely, give up the smoking. I just spent an hour and a half sitting beside a smoker at lunch. Never again (if I can help it!)

Too bad she smokes. I thought she would be smarter than that.
It always suprises me how a cigarette can make a person look a bit cheap and tacky.

This is really awful of me; but when I saw that picture of Eugenie smoking, the first thought I had was, "She looks like her mother."  Honestly and truly, it's the first thought that came to my head. I normally find that she looks like her father.

disgusting habit to break, and I know from experience how hard it is to resist smoking when most of your crew are.

 Where exactly in my post I stated, its alright to 'harass young women'?
If we were to stop the melodramatic misconstrued statements for a minute. Its reasonable that the royals want some privacy in public, it must be hard to be followed constantly by people.
However, if these young royals insist on enjoying the perks of their royal privilege - such as enjoying private viewings at clothing stores or getting into exclusive clubs based on their name alone, then they need to realize that the press intrusion is the price they pay for it. So, no sympathy from me this time. Heck, the store probably called the paps, excellent publicity.

Normally you pay to get into exclusive clubs or are invited by another member. It stands to reason that they are going to know many of rich 'it' people, and therefore get the invites. The paparazzi don't care who they knock aside for their exclusive shot, IMO and one of these days someone will decide to pursue them through the courts!

Tje suggestion was that it was okay for the paparazzi to have free reign in taking pictures of Eugenie. To take that to it's logical conclusion, it's harrassment by the media. It's happened to others; it could happen to Eugenie.

Thanks to Mr Roslyn's keen eye we have some juicy and titillating descriptions in this article:
cavorting on a beach topless [whoever uses the word "cavorting"* in everyday conversation? She was more probably lying on her beach towel or having a swim], lesbian-themed nightclub [as opposed to a real lesbian nighclub? If it means pictures of naked women, is ' Playboy' a lesbian-themed magazine?], sparking up ciggies [smoking], dancing up a storm [dancing], erotic images [what the writer means is straight mens' lesbian fantasies] and "errant" Royal [why the use of inverted commas, does the writer mean she wasn't actually 'errant' at all?']
Ah, the creativity of modern journalism.

I've been eagerly waiting for the "scandal" to "unfold in London's tabloids", but so far nothing.

Just from reading this site as often as I do, I am under the distinct impression that the British tabloid media is far more......creative linguistically than the American tabloid media is. Over here, we'll say it like it is. Over there, they use flowery language or fancy words. Frankly, I like it. Means they're putting a little effort into being completely and totally wrong. And everyone deserves an A for effort.

Interestingly enough Eugenie is on the front page of all the tabloids today wearing a spangled banner bikini and caught in varying degree of suggestive poses (not an attack on the princess at all, just saying some of the shots were carefully chosen to provide for rather tasteless headlines).
Anyway, what I find interesting is that no pictures are available online. It's the Mail front page story and yet there is nothing on their website. I am not sure what is going on there...

I believe she is in Thailand (but considering the state of unrest their I suspect that she has left that country by now and may even have returned to Australia or be on her way elsewhere.
