The Untold Truth Of Princess Eugenie And Princess Beatrice

In a January 2017 appearance on The Graham Norton Show (via People), singer Ed Sheeran seemed to confirm rumors that Princess Beatrice had slashed his face with a sword at a party. The confirmation came after months of speculation after Sheeran was spotted with a mysterious facial laceration in late 2016. British tabloid The Sun was one of the first to break the cause behind Sheeran's wound, reporting that Princess Beatrice had accidentally slashed the singer's face while pretending to knight another famous British songbird, James Blunt. The tabloid reported that Sheeran was "the perfect gentleman" about the incident, though he did have to be rushed to the hospital to stitch up his famous mug.

"I have no idea how [the story] came out as there weren't a lot of people there that night," Sheeran said on The Graham Norton Show. "I remember telling my dad about it and he didn't believe me."

According to Blunt, Sheeran's dad might be on to something. "Ed was drunk, messing around, and he cut himself," Blunt told ShortList (via E! News). "We made a fancy story up, people fell for it. It was very embarrassing."
