Princess Beatrice to celebrate 18th birthday without some members of her family

Princess Beatrice will be celebrating her 18th birthday without important members of her family. Her grandparents, the Queen and Prince Philip, Prince Charles and his wife Camilla and royal cousins, William and Harry will not be in attendance. Princess Anne has also given notice that she will not be able to go.

The young princess is said to be saddened and dismayed at the idea that some of her family will not be there to help her celebrate her milestone birthday.

Her father, Prince Andrew, is not happy either, with one royal source telling Britain’s Daily Mail "Prince Andrew is a bit fed up the boys won't be there. It’s bad form really, you expect the whole family to be on show at these dos."
