Princess Beatrice Causes Scene in Men's Restroom

According to a report in the Daily Mail, Princess Beatrice caused a bit of a scene at a recent party in New York. Her American boyfriend, Dave Clark, works for Virgin, and the two were at the launch party for Virgin Galactic to celebrate the launch of Virgin's tourist spaceship.

All the Virgin employees were wearing glittery makeup to look like Ziggy Stardust. Clark wanted to remove the makeup because, according to reports, "he felt a bit daft with the face paint on." But Beatrice wanted him to leave the makeup on, and followed him into the men's restroom.

As the story goes, once there, she started a screaming argument with Clark. A man who was in the restroom at the time, along with several others, said, "I was pretty terrified, and so was her boyfriend. She won in the end and he trudged out with his tail between his legs — glitter still all over his face."

I guess we know who wears the pants in that relationship...and who wears the makeup.

Security for Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie: $1 Million a Year

UK newspaper The Telegraph and The Sunday Mail in Australia are reporting a controversy over the high costs associated with security for Princess Beatrice, 19, and Princess Eugenie, 17.

Bodyguards for just one of the princesses costs about £250,000 annually (about $500,000). According to one security source quoted by the Telegraph, a great part of this expense is due to travel and hotel bills. And no wonder: Princess Beatrice, who is on her 'gap year' between secondary school and university, has recently traveled to Argentina, Brazil, Spain, and Belgium. This is when she's not partying with Kate Moss and the rest of the Primrose Hill set in London, apparently.

The sisters, whose parents are Prince Andrew (the Duke of York) and Sarah Ferguson, are reportedly considered by Scotland Yard to be a low security risk. They are fifth and sixth in the line of succession.

Princess Bea shacking up?

Reports suggest that 19-year-old Princess Beatrice, daughter of English Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, may soon be living with 25-year-old American boyfriend Dave Clark in a trendy London neighborhood.

Rather than house-hunting in the posh if rather staid Chelsea area of London, the princess and her beau are said to be looking in Primrose Hill, an equally posh but trendier locale. While Chelsea got a rep for being edgy back in the 60's, Primrose Hill is where most young celebrity Londoners live now.

And apparently the princess has pals there--a wild crowd that includes Kate Moss and British actresses Sadie Frost and Davinia Taylor. Taylor and Moss are best known for their reported cocaine problems; both have done stints in rehab.
