Princess Beatrice gets her BMW stolen with the keys in the ignition

wenn2147005
Princess Beatrice has been left red-faced and without a vehicle after a thief took off with her three year-old BMW 1 series when she left the keys in the ignition to just drop into a shop. The 20 year-old University of London co-ed was out with a bodyguard and probably felt like her car was safe when she left it for a moment, only to have it stolen. She called her 18 year-old sister, Eurgenie, to come pick her up after the car went missing. The princesses waited at a bar before the police arrived:

She may officially be the cleverest Royal but Princess Beatrice’s BMW has been stolen after she left the keys in the unlocked car’s ignition while out shopping.

When the princess came out of the store, she discovered her BMW – given to her as a 17th birthday present by her father Prince Andrew – had vanished.

Her police protection officer had gone into the shop in Kensington, south London, with her, leaving the car unattended.

Passers by looked on as the BMW 1 Series with personalised number plates was driven off by a thief at high speed and in broad daylight.

Have you had anything stolen that you didn’t lock up because you felt like it was safe? When I was around Beatrice’s age I had a bag stolen out of my car at a park. It was a new car and I totally forgot to lock the back door. At the time I really didn’t have to admit that to anyone except the police and my family, though. Poor Beatrice now has the whole world knowing that she got careless and had her car swiped. It even had custom license plates so she probably assumed no one would be that bold.

    She looks exactly like her mama. Except she kind of has a hoofy mouth.

  2. RReedy says:

    Beatrice & her sister, Eugenie are the homliest royal children ever…much like Amy Carter was here in the US in the 70’s.

    “Klatu Nikto Barrata!”

  4. Ron says:

    You know you can;t change the hand that’s dealt you. But Yikes! She looks like the Bratz toys ugly cousin.

  5. Exiled says:

    Her Dad has the ‘hoofy’ mouth Teeth for days and days…

  6. Leandra says:

    I think she could be attractive if she lost about 50 pounds. Not so good now.

  7. Clare says:

    There are ways to change the teeth shape and length, aren’t there? That, and weight loss, would make a big difference. Her boyfriend’s not bad.

  8. Because I Say So says:

    I love how most of the posts are about how homely she is!

    OT: what an idiot. She deserves to have the car stolen if she’s going to be so stupid.

  9. aleach says:

    her eyeballs are out of control in the top picture.
    what the hell is going on there?

  10. PJ says:

    It’s amazing that both Beatrice and her protection officer forgot to lock the car. Maybe the bodyguard was driving, not her. Either way, one of them should have thought of it.

  11. Heather says:

    Her eyes are freaky! They’re gigantic- she looks like one of those old velvet paintings of a big-eyed waif. Picture #5 actually scares me with the combo of huge eyes and rat teeth. Yikes!

  12. PJ says:

    Bet she’d look better with more subtle eye makeup. Her eyes are large, so she really doesn’t need lots of dark eyeliner and mascara that make her eyes look even bigger.

    Maybe a taupe or light gray liner and lighter mascara would define her eyes without making them look so big?

  13. I would be so embarrassed to know her! I mean, a three year-old BMW!? Barf! She’s lucky someone saved her the embarrassment!

    My sister-in-law once got drunk enough to try and “steal” a Cadillac from a bunch of women in downtown Denver, who were busy berating another driver for taking “their” parking spot. (Charming women, to be sure.) It was around 1 am, the car door was wide open, keys were in ignition, the ladies were preoccupied on the street. So my SiL ran for the driver’s seat and made like a five-year-old driving mommie’s car.

    I ran over to defend her from the ensuing onslaught, trying to mitigate the damage by screaming, “I’m sooooo sorry! She’s on LSD! She doesn’t know what she’s doing! Don’t hurt her!”, only to find myself in the middle of blood-bath.

    With their attention now focused on me (and my lies!) my SiL ran safely back across the street, gleeful in her fun-making. Meanwhile, my boyfriend and I are trapped by a crowd of (justifiably) angry women and their entourage – all set on trash-talking and fist-pounding.

    I guess we made a break for it, because we remained unscathed. I honestly can’t remember how we got out of there – my adrenaline was pumping so hard, I had myself convinced I’d be justified in taking a swing at some of the nastier trash-talkers. (I was supposed to be the peacemaker, after all!)

    My SiL was just joyfully drunk, she was laughing her ass off the entire time. I guess it is sort of funny, after the fact. Needless to say, my boyfriend and I haven’t been out drinking with his sister for a long time.

    HA HA HA HA ROTFLMAO!!!
    THAT’S GREAT!!!

  15. Heather says:

    Not to harp on it (I’m bored okay)- I thought of what that top picture reminds me of- the Bat Boy from the World Weekly news a few years back!

    PJ- I agree subtler eye makeup would make all the difference.

    JaundiceMac- HILARIOUS story!!!

  16. Alecto says:

    Bat boy!! Your right. I was wondering why she looked so familiar.

  17. Codzilla says:

    Damn, Jaundice. And I thought the story about my car being swiped from my parents’ driveway on Christmas Eve was crazy.

    this poor girl looks like she needs her thyroid checked….first glance I thought something like Graves disease.

  19. Tassi says:

    Are you kidding me with the ugly comments?
    I bet none of you would look half as put together if you had people taking your picture when you were out and about in the community.
    Good grief – she is a young woman at a healthy weight.
    No wonder this world is so screwy given your comments about her looks / weight.
    Grow up.
    Now about the car with the keys in the ignition – not overly bright.

  20. That’s not even the half of it! It all started after the four of us decided to sneak into a Rockies game, that’s when my Sister-in-Law’s car was allegedly “stolen” (turns out we were breaking a lot of rules that night – the car was illegally parked, and the towtruck driver had a wickedly cruel sense of humor). . .

  21. Christina X says:

    For the sake of being superficial- no, she may not be naturally pretty, but I find it pretty ignorant when people say things like “Oh if she lost about 50 lbs, she’d look better!”

    I know the worst thing to be if you’re a girl is fat.

  22. Miranda says:

    I think she really needs a better cut/color. Layers and side fringe in a deeper hue would be more flattering. And maybe some blush. Otherwise, she isn’t half bad. I have always found her mum to be pretty good looking too.

  23. browning says:

    I think that it was dumb to assume that the car would be ok… especially a bmw! You cant trust ppl, its her fault. And she looks scary, i think her mom is fairly pretty but she got screwed when it comes to genes.

  24. America USA says:

    Royal-yes(whatever that means nowdays, no REAL power anymore.)
    Rich-yes
    Pretty-ummm,no–not in the least
    And i dont care how much weight she loses; she is still butt ugly w/freaky bulging,(yet somehow still inset with bags underneath),eyes and a horse face and gummy horse mouth and rat teeth that comes from the Windsor gene pool. This is what over a thousand years of inbreeding will do to ya folks.

    Well to put it mildly, beautiful Charlotte Casiraghi Princess Beatrice is quite clearly NOT!! However, to be fair to the equine looks of Beatrice, when you mother is fat ugly Sarah Ferguson and your Grandmother dowdy Queen Elizabeth II as opposed to Caroline of Monaco for a mom and the late gorgeous Grace Kelly for a grandmother, then of course Charlotte would have the edge.
