Princess Beatrice, reportedly, got into an accident in 2016 while at an event at the Royal Lodge in Windsor.
Back then, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s eldest daughter accidentally sliced the singer’s face while pretending to knight James Blunt. Princess Beatrice was never outed for what she did until now.
While speaking with The Telegraph, Sheeran’s manager, Stuart Camp said that he’s disappointed with Princess Beatrice because she didn’t even reach out to Sheeran after the accident to apologize.
“I got quite protective over that because we’ve never publicly commented on it,” Camp said.
Sheeran’s manager decided not to out Princess Beatrice and other people advised him to just say that it was someone else that caused the accident.
“I’m not lying, just because someone’s an [expletive] idiot. Because they’re thinking, ‘yeah, I will get paralytic and take a sword off the wall.' You’re just asking for trouble,” Camp said.
According to reports, Princess Beatrice pulled out a sword off the wall at the party and pretended to knight Blunt. However, the newlywed didn’t realize how heavy the sword was so she hit Sheeran when she swung it around.
Sheeran was, reportedly, rushed to the hospital, where he was treated for a laceration under his eye. After getting stitches, the singer returned to the party as nothing happened. He also performed the day after.
A source said that Sheeran didn’t take offense with what happened. In fact, he even tried to console Princess Beatrice by telling her that it was just an accident.
Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice recently made headlines amid claims that she’s pregnant with her and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi’s first child. According to eagle-eyed royals fans, Princess Beatrice seemed to be sporting a growing baby when she returned to London after her honeymoon.
