The Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York held a spectacular Gala Dinner and Masked Ball to celebrate the 18th Birthday of Princess Beatrice of York at Windsor Castle. The theme of the Ball was 1888, selected because Princess Beatrice was born at 8.18pm on 8/8/1988, and all the guests were in period dress.

Princess Beatrice, daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, celebrated her eighteenth in a lavish Victorian inspired gala. The Duke and Duchess of York put on the party for their eldest daughter at Windsor Castle, where the hosts and guests alike were invited to dress as if they were attending a grand Victorian ball.Princess Beatrice will officially turn 18 on August 8th.

Beatrice’s eighteenth birthday party – a lavish costume ball at Windsor Castle for five hundred, with dinner for 250 earlier – reputed to have cost £400,000. The theme was ‘1888’ to mark the fact that Beatrice had been born a century later.

She wore a £10,000 dress that had been designed by Marchesa, the New York fashion house established by Georgina Chapman, wife of Harvey Weinstein.

Alongside members of the extended British Royal Family, Celebrities, High Society, and Princess Beatrix’s school friends, the guest list controversially included Jeffery Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Guests at the party included celebrity children Jack and Kelly Osbourne and couple Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, no word on whether or not Demi’s children were in attendance.

Weinstein was one of the guests – who were entertained by tarot card readers, contortionists and later by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra – alongside Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Demi Moore, Kelly and Jack Osbourne, Pixie Geldof, Tania Bryer, David and Carina Frost. The Queen, Prince Charles, Camilla and Princes William and Harry did not attend. Andrew spent much of the evening with Angie Everhart.

  1. I Think The Duke of York & Sarah, Duchess of York are just as Despicable as Meghan & Harry

    1. Ok, and your reason for believing this is?
      And how do you feel this is comparable to something Meghan and Harry are meant to have done, do you believe they have committed crimes as well?
