Princess Beatrice dispensed with royal privilege today to jump on a bus with her young family to escape a snow storm in Switzerland.
As the Duke of York's eldest daughter the 33-year-old mother of two is tenth in line to the British throne and among the Queen's most favoured grandchildren.

It comes as Beatrice's father Prince Andrew's hopes of getting the case by his US sex accuser thrown out of court were hanging by a thread last night. A judge in New York told the royal he would find out 'pretty soon' – most likely within days – if his bid to have the lawsuit dismissed would be successful.
