Think of it as the makeover "reveal" that reality shows are fond of.
First off we are introduced to Princess Eugenie's boyfriend "Barman Jack" who "serves financial workers on their lunchbreaks...and clears tables". The inference being that he is clearly unsuitable royal dating material.

We have to reach the article's half-way point to learn that he comes from a "privileged background", attended Stowe (fees of £27,000 pa), and met Eugenie "in the exclusive Swiss ski resort of Verbier". Oh, and his parents have a holiday home in France. Not so unsuitable after all. :D

At the bottom of this article.

Princess Eugenie’s squeeze Jack Brooksbank may be a lowly barman, but his ancestry is just as regal as his girlfriend’s. In fact, the couple are actually distant cousins.

I think the Daily Mail wishes that all the royals would marry blue-bloods that's why they keep "inventing" royal ancestry for the people the royals are dating. They've done it for Kate Middleton, now Jack I think we can see Dave or Chelsy next.
 
^ I agree.
I like Chelsy a lot i really do, but i don't think that she has royal ancestry.I'd be very surprised if she does.:ohmy:
 
I don't agree. If anything I think the mail is simply doing what it does best and creating news where there isn't. Once again talking about a "lowly" bartender and then pointing out something about him that contradicts it.

"Ooh, look they're distantly related!" Wow, so are the Queen and Phillip (Not so distant second cousins once removed). As for Cheslea, I don't doubt she'd have some distant relation here or there. Fergie is related through multiple illegitimate sons of Charles the II, actor Oliver Platt is second-cousin once removed of Diana Spencer.

You'll find the royal connections, it's just that it's harder for some then others.

Again the comments at the bottom are wonderful, some say leave her alone, one asks how the press get the pictures and another says her royal security should be withdrawn because thousands have no jobs and no money.

Pun intended?? :p

Dressed in a lovely colour and with a single rose..:)

I always thought that Eugenie was a very pretty girl, while most focus on Beatrice, I find her much prettier then her sister. IMHO
 
In that long dress with the belt around the waist, Eugenie really reminds me of the Queen Mother.
 
I think that it's more a maxi-dress than a formal evening dress. The shoes are casual. But still, yes, we're used to seeing these girls in shorter skirts. Beautiful colour.:flowers:

She's having fun.
 
I wonder if she has ever heard of "dignified fun" it does exist. I don´t think it was nice of the so called "friend" to send it to DM but I think it is about time that someone explained to her what being a royal princess means. Her father has fought to keep her her title when it was suggested that minor royals lose the HRH, she might be happier as just a young girl untitled without bodyguards, who could be silly on facebook and not end up in the papers.
 
Could you please explain what "dignified fun" is without making it sound boring?

She's acting her age, let her have fun.

As it is on the publicly available page of the friend I don't think the friend sent it to the DM but rather that the DM went looking to further damage the royal family.

She isn't doing anything princesses in the past e.g. Margaret did, but technology being what it is means that she is more often shown at her worst - particularly by the DM whose whole agenda, at the moment seems to be to bring down the House of Windsor.

This article might refresh our memories. I think Fergie made enemies with the DM years ago by writing to them complaining about an article they had written. Ever since then the DM have found it impossible to write anything positive about the York's. At the time I might have thought she was right not to let it go, but maybe it has backfired because now they seem to have made the girls targets.

I agree she is acting her age, she is not acting a HRH that is all.
Hasn´t facebook a way to make it only possible for close friends to accesss it?
As to fun, some people think it is fun to get drunk, others to run naked across the school grounds, others find it fun to go to the theatre with friends.
I can remember reading about Princess Margaret´s sin, didn´t she get on a table and dance the can can? Terrible wasn´t it? I wonder if she would have put a picture of it on Facebook if it had existed then.

If Margaret did some of the stuff she is accused of doing in this day and age YOU BETCHA it would have been on facebook, and the Daily Mail.

Eugenie is acting like a young teenager and unfortunately, it seems as though someone she trusted as decided to make a buck and sell their access to her. Or as iluvbertie mentioned, the Daily Mail is intent on destroying the House of Windsor. Though honestly, I don't think its just the House of Windsor, the Daiy Mail seems to cater to their audience, who doesn't like anyone who has money.
 
I am afraid I know nothing about Facebook but wouldn´t the Princess have to publish these photos herself? Can a "friend" sell access to the Princess´s
private account?
Actually from what I heard Princess Margaret was splashed all over the newspapers for dancing the CanCan, that would be the equivalent in those days of the Daily Mail, if the Daily Mail did exist in those days.
Why on Earth would the Daily Mail want to destroy the House of Windsor?
The Queen is never spoken of, or written about with anything less the respect she has earned over the years, at least I have never seen it.
 
Honestly a true friend of Eugenie's can have pictures such as these on their facebook account. The friends pictures would be for view for anyone who is a friend of the friend. Unless the pics are highlighted for privacy. In some aspects of Facebook (if I am correct) you can look at people's pictures without looking at their personal stats or being their friend. So it is possible.

I am not so sure if the Daily Mail/Mirror or any of the tabloids are so intent on destroying the House of Windsor inasmuch as they are catering to their audience. Based on what I have seen.....they love tearing people down. And let's face it...it more interesting to tear someone down who is on top (i.e. the rich) than the bottom (i.e. the poor).

I will admit that the pictures leave a bit to be desired but is Eugenie is goofing around. Something we all do and I am sure she would have never thought these goofy and harmless pictures would see the day of light. I mean some of these comments are just plain nasty, we have the usual York bashing, the cost of the security, the fact that she isn't working, the school, etc. All because she is goofing around with friends. That's a bit much if you ask me.

Facebook has two sections - those you keep private to share with selected friends and those that are made public to anyone. These I think are on the friends public section so available to anyone who happens to come across this friend's page - by being a friend of a friend etc or simply at random.

There are a number of times that comments posted on Facebook are reported in the press, such as Chelsy saying that she was single (when she and Harry broke up a couple of years ago).

My school is always reminding staff and kids to be very careful what is put on the public part of their Facebook page.

As for the DM - it has been around for yonks but has also changed hands. It was, of course, one of Diana's favourites to feed information to and thus, having lost that cash cow, the DM is maintaining its pro-Diana stance in many ways be berating all other royals, except the Queen. She is the only one given a pass. I can't remember the last positive story the DM ran about any of the royals except the Queen - I am not referring to factual stuff such as so-and-so was at this commemoration but the more personal stories - they are always negative and the Yorks never get good press.

I agree. I'm sure even of the most elegant & regal person we could imagine such pictures are existing - as of course they all play more or less roles when on official duty or whatever and in their private circles, and especially when partying, they do rubbish like everyone else too. It's just unfortunate that these pictures made it into a newspaper, IMO.
 
Let her have fun. I just wonder if it was wise to have this pics taken for public viewing.

I don't think this Eugenie's doing. It could be the newspapers searching Facebook and/or the actual facebook user.

Either way, its another lesson for Eugenie: Be careful of your friends...I would imagine they (royals and/or celebrities) don't make friends easily. Anyone can sell you out like that!:ermm:
 
This isn't my idea of fun either. In fact, never was, not even when I was 20. However, I do find it extremely sad when people in England and elsewhere think of the York Princesses and their deeds as a great opportunity to attack Sarah. This isn't mature IMO, nor is it serious anymore.
