Something not quite right with Bea

39 replies

thathitsthespot · 20/06/2023 20:46

I'm a casual observer of the royals. There's something about Princess Beatrice that seems not quite right. I've read that she and her sister are fabulous women, despite the parents, and I've seen nothing to say otherwise. Seeing her at Ascot today, she looks pale, drawn. I'm not sure it's motherhood.

Has the father's behaviour taken its toll? She got to wear QE2 wedding tiara and evening dress for her wedding which is lovely, but she's missed a lot other young royals had.

First world problems I know, but this is specifically about Beatrice irrespective of her birth right.

I think she's a lovely women and I feel sad for her

Massive eye roll.

iwantawisteriathisyear · 20/06/2023 20:47

She does look pale. Maybe she's pregnant. Who knows? Could just be bored with ascot.

Be careful they don't roll right out of your head.

She's had the look of someone with Grave's Disease over the years, in my lowly opinion. Autoimmune can do a number on you

OrangeWoolCardiWrap · 20/06/2023 21:05

Maybe someone she knows has had some bad news?

JeandeServiette · 20/06/2023 21:07

My first thought is it's hard enough to keep illness or early pregnancy to yourself when you're Joanna Bloggs. I don't envy public figures having their faces scrutinised to this degree by complete strangers.

What?

That's a ridiculously specific attempt to diagnose someone you haven't met.

I think she just looks like queen Victoria.

fuckmyuteruslining · 20/06/2023 21:11

She's white as a sheet but there could be lots of reasons for that and none of them are any of our business.

HeidiUpTheMountain · 20/06/2023 21:12

Reasons for looking pale at an event:

Hangover
Wrong choice of foundation
Several nights of poor sleep eg due to heat
Being a redhead with pale skin

Plus a multitude of other things!

Honestly, this sort of speculation is just weird.

Prescottdanni123 · 20/06/2023 21:15

Maybe she had some dodgy fish fingers the night before? Or had a barney with her husband? Or received bad news from a friend? Maybe she heard more exhausting speculation on why she looks tired and drawn?

Calzonepizza · 20/06/2023 21:18

At least she can access any doctor she chooses without having the worry of NHS waiting lists

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 20/06/2023 21:20

I think she's wearing 2 colours that don't suit her.

RisingSunn · 20/06/2023 21:23

Strangely enough I have thought this in the past.

iamsmaller1 · 20/06/2023 21:58

Perhaps she's overdone it on the foie gras and Krug, or maybe the realisation her dad's bad behaviour has dried up that public money gravy train is just sinking in..

My heart bleeds for Beatrice and the rest of them...... Grin

Highdaysandholidays1 · 20/06/2023 22:01

I googled the pic of her, she looks fine, but quite pale which she is with ginger hair and much thinner, perhaps she's succumbed to all the media pressure on here all the time and deliberately slimmed down (Ozempic?) or perhaps she's got some reason she's losing weight which isn't in her control. Either way she is starting to look as thin as Catherine and that's not a good thing IMO but if I were in the public eye I would probably succumb to that pressure too.

vinoandbrie · 20/06/2023 22:03

Early pregnancy I would guess. I hope it’s that, rather than anything sad / illness related.

saraclara · 20/06/2023 22:03

That. There is no perk of being a royal that makes the hideous lack of privacy worth it, to me.

diddl · 20/06/2023 22:04

I think that the dress completely washes her out in the pics.

May not look so bad irl

I have thought this too, the quick weight loss and the 'bulgy' eyes. (I have Graves disease)

FuckStonewall · 20/06/2023 22:07

Casual observer my arsehole.

MissingMoominMamma · 20/06/2023 22:11

I just looked. That dress is awful on her!

Oh do fuck off with that. We don’t all Road around looking like I’ve had a number done on me and I have 4 AI conditions including Graves’ disease.
