Years ago, a story involving Princess Beatrice, Ed Sheeran, James Blunt and a ceremonial sword, began circulating as unconfirmed rumors. In 2016, The Sun reported that Princess Beatrice accidentally struck Ed Sheeran with a sword as she was being removed as if she were crowned as knight James Blunt. The story took place at Windsor Castle, Royal Lodge and was an average royal celebration.
Subsequently, there were conflicting reports. Ed Sheeran confirmed the story in 2017 on the Graham Norton Show. "Two weeks later, I had a big mark on my face and I was telling people I fell, but suddenly the story came out," he said, and later corrected himself by adding, "the alleged story came out." James Blunt denied the story in March 2017 in an interview with Shortlist. "Ed was drunk and cut himself."
But now, there seems to be some confirmation of what really happened. Ed Sheeran's longtime manager, Stuart Camp, in an interview on the Straight Up podcast for People, seems to have ignored this story and, yes, called the princess "idiot."
Camp said he never spoke publicly and "certain people" were told to lie and not say it was Princess Beatrice. "I will not lie just that a piece of idiot wields his sword when he is drunk. It's not safe. "
In other words, Princess Beatrice must leave her cavalry swords to true professionals. Queen then.
