Sarah Ferguson On Bea’s Henry VIIIth Legacy
MORE caring mums in the Mirror where Sarah Ferguson is telling the world that her daughter Beatrice is not fat.
“Beatrice is a healthy size 10, she’s a fabulous girl, she has a completely good heart,” says Fergie, Duchess of York, her words borrowed from Elizabeth of York, mother to larger than life Henry VIII.
And the similarities between the two York women do not end there.
Says Fergie: “She has suffered with special needs at school from the age of seven with dyslexia. So much so that she has combated it in order to get a grade A* in history to go and read history at Goldsmiths.”
Ginger Henry’s own dyslexia got him in no end of strife, seeing two wives beheaded, when Henry had only meant for them to be “beheaped” with praise, forsooth.

VIBea: Princess Beatrice Works In Selfridges
“WHY, oh why, did I wear that one?” asks Princess Beatrice to the Mail’s Richard Kay.
Bea is talking of that bikini, the one she was photographed wearing in the Caribbean.
But she should not be too hard on herself for her choice of garment.
It was the Mail’s Allison Pearson - “Can someone please have a kindly word with her before it all goes pear-shaped?” – and Amanda Platell – “get her body under control” – who told us that it was Bea’s tummy, thighs and arse that were the wrong choice. Rest assured, Bea, the bikini was just dandy.
But young gels will take things to heart and Beatrice has been driven made enough to seek gainful employment.

Helping Princess Beatrice With Her Self-Esteem
THE story so far: Princess Beatrice has been pictured on the beach in a bikini.
The Mail’s Allison Pearson says: “I fear Bea is in danger of combining her mother’s to-curling excesses with her dad’s physique.”
Surely she means her dad’s toe-curling excesses with her mother’s physique? But we should not interrupt, Pearson is delivering her piece in the spirit of united womanhood.
She issues an appeal for help: “Can someone please have a kindly word with her before it all goes pear-shaped?”
So here’s Amanda Platell, also writing in the Mail. In “Bea, beach bodies and the thorny problem of the Mummy gene” advises Beatrice to get some better genes.

Princess Beatrice Toes The Family Line
WITH no toes visible, readers are left to guess what is going on beneath the waves as Princess Beatrice and boyfriend Dave Clarke take the waters in St Bart’s.
The Express recalls those heady days when Bea’s mum, Sarah Ferguson, was pictured having moisture sucked from her toes by financial advisor John Byran in the south of France.
Now Bea, dressed in her “Bea-kini” (sun) is striding purposefully in “Mummy’s twosteps (Mail).
While the Mail and Express get an atlas, Bea is “wiggling those little piggies” on the sand.
It’s all good exercise, of course. And part of Bea’s gap year, in which to date she has sampled Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Spain, America, Egypt, Abu Dhabi and Switzerland.

Toff Shop: Kate Moss And Princess Beatrice Go Shopping
WE no longer keep up with the Royal Family, but seek to be their betters.
A survey of what Anorak’s typing pool knows of Her Majesty reveals that she keeps breakfast cereals in Tupperware boxes, enjoys Kirsty’s Home Videos on the telly and manages racing pigeons.
The Queen is, of course, so afar above us that she has no need to care. While OK! celebrities plump the cushions and wear suits shiny enough to shave in, Royals slum it in cords and Wellington boots.
Thoughts turn to such matters as we read in the Star that Princess Beatrice is to go shopping with Kate Moss. The shopping spree will happen in New York, where many Britons head in search of a bargain.
The royal PR campaign to make the Family seem normal continues unabated, not derailed by Prince Edward’s business failings, Prince Harry’s non-combatant Army role and Prince Andrew’s golf tour.
Says a source: “Shopping with style icon Kate is a dream come true…She is already excited about mixing vintage, second hand stuff with High Street labels and designer gear.”
To complete the common look, and burnish Bea’s street cred, the Windsor is said to have asked Kate for security advice. “Kate has recommended two female protection officers who she knows well.”
They’ll be the ones in classic black..

Keeping Up The Moss Posse: Princess Beatrice Joins The Establishment
RAISED on starry histories of It’s A Royal Knockout and the history of Annabelle’s nightclub, Princess Beatrice is now ready to emerge as a royal in her own reckoning.
In “Bea’s night out”, the flame-haired princess arrives for a “royal birthday bash”. At 9pm, the Mail spots Beatrice arrive at Soho’s Cocoon eatery. It is the occasion of cousin Peter ‘Pete’ Phillips’ 30th birthday.
Here are the young royals eating at a table that can be hired by anyone. They then repair to club Volstead, a venue run by the same company that owns the restaurant. Perhaps the royals have done a TwoFor pub-club deal?
In this “exclusive members” club, the motto is “sobriety has its place”. And here are today’s royals. Here’s William turning to Prince Harry, and, as reported by the Sun, saying: “You’re now the official royal gooseberry.” An insider says the group “fell about laughing”, marvelling at Wills’ clever way with words, since we all know Harry as the royal strawberry.
But there are no shots of drinks and tales of drugs and excess. So Bea goes looking. It is 1pm and she is heading to Shoreditch in East London.
It is the occasion of one Davina Taylor’s party. Taylor is notably a friend to Kate Moss, and Sienna Miller, Jade Jagger and Kelly Osbourne. And Naomi Campbell. They are the nation’s celebrity establishment.
And Bea’s eyes grow wide. And wider yet. Does he hang out with this new establishment with their drugs, dances and debauchery? Or with the old Establishment, who are so anti-Establishment they eat in a restaurant and dance in public?
Decisions. Decisions…

“I’M not so royal now, am I!” says Princess Beatrice.
Another day and another chance for the Royal Family to show that beneath the taffeta and the lace, under the bridge work and ten paces to the left of the special constable they are but a blood transfusion away from being just plain rich.
As the Sunday Mirror reports, Beatrice has struck up an “unlikely friendship with pop princess Lily Allen”.
Readers learn that Beatrice Windsor has found cause to visits Allen’s East London home. She has drunk shots and danced around Lily’s living room.
A party-goer says: “Bea was great fun. Her and Lily were controlling the stereo and putting on the tunes - and leading the dancing. Bea was loving being in with the music crowd.”
And her she is giving full throat to the line: “I’m not so royal now, am I.” indeed, not, she has achieved the improbable and become still more royal. Beatrice Windsor is the length of a Nazi uniform away from being as royal as they come…

Princess Beatrice Rocks Fashion: This Year’s Sarah Ferguson
THE Daily Mail is at the Fashion Rocks do; or at least sat outside in a bottle green Rover 75 clacking its marmalade coated tongue and taking pictures of the young and the tarty for illustrative purposes.
While the prints are being processed in its home dark room under the stair, the paper cocks an ear toward Princess Beatrice and hears her say: “I love it but I keep on having to lift it off the floor and pull the bodice up.”
The Mail stares. The pictures are ready. And readers get to see Princess Beatrice “revealing rather more décolletage than royal protocol might allow”.
Keen-eyed readers who can stand to look may wonder if this is Princess Beatrice or her mother, Sarah Ferguson, whose wont it is to hang out with her best friend/daughter while dressed in similar if not altogether complementary fashions.
To confess, we cannot be sure. The more we look the less we know. Is it Beatrice? Or is it Sarah? Your votes on the matter, if you please…

Princess Beatrice Is Young Victoria
ANOTHER day and another outfit for Princess Beatrice.
Bea is dressed in a gown for an appearance in Martin Scorsese’s film based on the life of Bea’s great-great-great-great grandmother, Young Victoria.
In Hollywood, where nepotism makes a casting agent’s job that little bit easier and resumes come with the section “Famous Relatives”, Beatrice would fit right in. The Windsors are our Hollywood Family.
We know how she got the part; that much is clear. And to remove any doubt, Mail readers learn that the film’s executive producer is Sarah Ferguson, professional royal and Beatrice’s mother. The Express says the film was her idea.
What is less certain is why Bea’s role affords her no lines and reduces her stature to that of lady-in-waiting?
It will require not little ability for Beatrice to hide her innate royalty, and her teeth, as she plays second fiddle third from left to Emily Blunt’s Victoria.
But she’s getting on with job with little fuss. As the director tell us: “Beatrice was wonderful to direct – very patient during what can sometimes be a long and arduous process.”
Looks like all those chats with Uncle Charles are finally paying off…

Children In Crisis: Princess Beatrice And Sarah Ferguson Walk The Walk
PRINCESS Beatrice is on the cover of the Telegraph. She is in attendance at the finale of London Fashion Week.
Models are big news. And teenage Beatrice should take care to eat and stay away from predatory older men.
Luckily, Beatrice is not alone, but chaperoned to the event by her mother, the Duchess of York.
As the pictures show, Fergie did not want to upstage her daughter nor embarrass her in any way and adopted the part of Beatrice’s invisible shadow.
Stood on the runway, Beatrice appears as a blip on London’s “style radar” clad in a long black dress with shoulder straps.
To her left might be a mirror, as Fergie (identified by the Telegraph’s keen spotter) stands equally attired.
For purposes of subterfuge, Fergie goes as far as adopting her daughter’s hair style and necklace.
The do goes well. Beatrice loses no weight and does not develop a cocaine habit.
It is a success. And the charity aided by Beatrice’s appearance – Children In Crisis (!) – profits immeasurably.
