Princess Beatrice’s Hilarious Encounter with Sam Allardyce at Cheltenham Festival
In a delightful turn of events at the Cheltenham Horse Racing Festival, Princess Beatrice found herself in fits of laughter thanks to an unexpected photo-bomb by football manager Sam Allardyce.
The amusing incident took place on March 14, as the princess and her husband, Edardo Mapelli Mozzi, enjoyed a day at one of the UK's most prestigious racing events.
Dressed to impress, Princess Beatrice sported a chic camel-colored coat, perfectly complemented by her husband's country-inspired attire.
Edardo, 40, looked dapper in a beige suit paired with a long tweed coat and an olive hat, creating a stylish couple that turned heads amidst the festive atmosphere.
The scene unfolded when Allardyce, affectionately known as Big Sam, unwittingly positioned himself right in front of the royal couple.
Unbeknownst to him, he had become the unexpected star of the moment, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he was blocking the view of the cameras aimed at Beatrice and Edardo.
As the 69-year-old former Leeds United manager flashed his trademark grin, Princess Beatrice couldn't help but chuckle at the situation.
The laughter echoed her joy for the day, which was further amplified by her successful picks at the bookmakers.
According to reports from the Telegraph, she exclaimed, “It's a fantastic opportunity to watch these amazing horses run at the highest level possible, and it's just a lovely day out.”
The royal couple wasn't alone in their revelry.
They were joined by other members of the royal family, including the Princess Royal, Zara Tindall, and Peter Phillips, adding to the celebratory spirit of the occasion.
The camaraderie among the royals highlighted the festive nature of the event, where excitement and laughter filled the air.
Meanwhile, Queen Camilla made headlines of her own at the Style Wednesday Festival, showcasing her impeccable fashion sense.
Dressed in a striking long green and valentine coat, she accessorized with a vibrant pink scarf and her signature faux fur hat, setting a fashionable tone for the day.
Completing her ensemble, the Queen donned elegant Russell and Bromley knee-high black suede boots and carried the stylish D'Amelia mini Venice bag in forest grain.
Her attention to detail extended to her choice of accessories, including black leather gloves and tasteful gold earrings that added a touch of elegance to her look.
