A royal birthday and 27 years of princess memories

Royal birthdays are just like yours or mine, except that the whole world is watching to see how people are sharing them. And Princess Beatrice’s 27th Birthday was no different. It is hard to believe the “Fergie” sagas are this long ago really. But they are, and today we have the snaps and tweets that will make you go “ooaaahhhh!” as you reminisce being an observer of the royal tabloid era.

Firstly, the birth of Princess Beatrice. Prince Andrew tweeted this pic out last night ahead of her 27th Birthday bash, brining us all back to the days we used to enjoy in Womans’ Day.

The prince then went on to tweet out some of his favourite pics; and we’ve added some from the Twitterverse last night.

And the Daily Mail ran a series on how Bea is currently on board the same boat as Oprah, with her beau.

She's not paid to be royal so why let Kate off the hook? #3kitchens #caroletakincareofbusiness http://t.co/06x0XrIjy0

She is gradually becoming famous for her headgear at gala events.
