The young royal is known for enjoying a drink of two, and Princess Beatrice seemed to be really enjoying herself as she attended a Celine Dion concert in London’s Hyde Park for the British Summer Time festival with Princess Eugenie.

But while her sister kept her composure throughout the gig, Bea had a glass in her hand all evening and became more intoxicated as the night wore on, leaving some friends fearing that she is “out of control”.
The recent alcohol-fuelled outing adds to a string of events where the eldest daughter of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew has been spotted getting more than merry. Last month she was seen dancing and drinking alongside British singer Ellie Goulding at model Karlie Kloss’ wedding.
And while some would say the 30-year-old is just having a bit of harmless fun, with her younger sister married and said to be expecting her first child, those close to the princess worry that Beatrice is feeling left out.
“Desperate to marry her beau Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Bea feels worried that her commitment-phobe boyfriend may soon dump her and leave her forever single,” claims a source close to the royal.
Rumours have been circulating that Beatrice is eager to start a family with her real-estate millionaire boyfriend.
A source recently leaked: “Beatrice is desperate to get married as soon as possible and is already trying to fall pregnant.
“She wants a family and doesn’t care if she’s pregnant when they walk down the aisle – even though this would be heavily frowned upon by the senior royals.
“However, the truth is, we could have a royal shotgun wedding on our hands.”
Source says Eugenie is just moments away from announcing her baby joy, but with Bea neither engaged nor pregnant, the older sister is said to be feeling “devastated it hasn’t happened for her” – and friends fear she’s found an unhealthy way to distract herself from it all.
“As a result, Bea has turned to drinking heavily and partying. Her biggest fear is that she is left single and alone, and now that Edoardo isn’t pulling the stops out for marriage, it’s left Bea miserable.”
Sources also indicate that she doesn’t want to give Edoardo an ultimatum either, as last time she did that it backfired.
After a 10-year relationship with Dave Clark, Bea insisted the pair marry, but it ended in a split.
However, just two months later, Dave got engaged to Lynn Anderson who he’d only dated for 16 weeks.
“Bea doesn’t want to put the pressure on Edoardo, but now time is running out, and with her sister’s pregnancy news, she feels under the pump and at a loss if he doesn’t pop the question,” adds the source.
