Princess Beatrice's Pampered Workday

Princess BeatricePrincess Beatrice's foray into working life as a personal shopper in Selfridges sees the 19-year-old shielded and supervised by the store's staff and her own security team.


The teen -- who is fifth in line to the throne -- currently works three hours a day at the posh London department store -- and is even more pampered than her customers.


A source told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "All the shoppers who made appointments with Beatrice were regulars at the store. No new customers were served by her.


"Even the shoppers who had been using the service for a while were vetted by security to make sure no harm could come to the princess.


"She wasn�t allowed to work on her own, and had the help of two assistants who helped her choose items for the customers. Obviously, the store can�t afford to lose its affluent customers, so she needed to be accompanied by people who knew what they were doing.�


The source added, "She tended to work just three hours a day, although she worked hard and could be seen rushing around the shop floor looking for items for customers.


"Everyone knows that working in a popular store like Selfridges could have made Beatrice a target, which is why she had a personal bodyguard with her at all times."
