She dose'nt look 16... Women lie about their age.

Not when you're royalty, you don't! Her age has been marked and written about since her birth. And since she has such an unusual birthdate (8/8/88), people will remember that. So if she tries to change her age, they'll know. She is 17 now, and will be 18 in August. Stephe1987 21:06, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

She will be turning 18 very soon, will she be getting her own Coat of Arms?

As she's only 5th in the line of succession may be not yet :( Brandmeister 02:11, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
I think that she's supposed to get the Coat of Arms at 21. But she could get it at 18, too. We'll see. She'll be 18 in in a little over four months. Stephe1987 21:05, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
The Queen granted Arms to Her Royal Highness by a Warrant dated 18 July 2006. Brian | (Talk) 21:55, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
She is listed on the Marlborourgh College page as an almuna, is this correct? I didn't think she went to marlborough. 130.195.86.36 22:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "order of precendance of ladies"

I found this phrase in the Princess Beatrice of York#Future section. Is "precendance" a word? Or is this a misspelling of "precedence". Anyway, can someone shed light on what is the intended meaning of this phrase? Thanks. --tess 20:47, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Order of precedence (ladies) † DBD 21:00, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
the link doesn't work. I think the word "ladies" has been replaced by "women" over at the precendence page... 85.227.226.168 16:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] citation?

Why is "She was the first Princess to be born into the immediate Royal family since the birth of Princess Anne in 1950" marked "citation needed". Isn't this fact quite obvious? 85.227.226.168 16:50, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I edited out "has a wide variety of friends who are royals and commoners.", who is to decide who is and isnt 'common'. Disguesting to label people in such a way and yet another example about why the royal family is outdated and unfair.

How can it possibly be disgusting? Saying that someone is a "commoner" is not the same as saying they are 'common.' Commoner refers to lack of title or other distinction while being common refers to someone like yourself who lacks class.

I am afraid you definition what commoner is, is incorrect. A "commoner" is who someone does NOT hold a peerage in his own right. Therefore, Princess Beatrice who unlike her father doesn't hold a peerage in her own right is infact a commoner. The title of princess is a courtesy title she acquired as male-line descendant of the Monarch. Hold of courtesy titles are regarded as commoners under english law, this includes princesses —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.142.34.34 (talk) 22:08, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I think the American word for this is "zing!" † DBD 22:08, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coat of Arms

The article refers to her Coat of Arms, I was wondering if anyone knows where an image of it can actually be found? As the article gives no reference Jamandell (d69) 23:34, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 8/8/88

I remember I was 14 and visiting my grandparents in Richmond, Indiana USA. The news was all over the new princess being born and what a unique date it was.--Pittsburghmuggle 00:03, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
