kamui Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Clash of the front-row Princesses at Paris Fashion Week Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana of Thailand was unceremoniously snubbed by Princess Beatrice at the Elie Saab show. BY ANDY BLOXHAM | 06 OCTOBER 2011 It is a country where insulting the King is a crime that can land you in jail, so perhaps the Thai princess who approached Princess Beatrice at Paris Fashion Week was not expecting such a firm rebuttal. However, when Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana approached the fellow royal she was unceremoniously stopped by a close protection officer. To the surprise of the fashionistas lining the front row, after the 24-year-old Thai explained herself but was told by Beatrice's guard: "She don't want to meet no princesses. She's sitting here, not getting up." The Asian princess was not amused and was seen to turn on her heel, saying: "Is that the sort of Princess you've got?" Despite her indignation, the two royals did not meet nor, it is assumed, are they likely to meet happily in future. The public scene took place at the start of the show by the Lebanese designer, Elie Saab. Princess Sirivannavari is a keen follower of fashion and the Saab show was her fifth at Paris Fashion Week alone. The princess, who is a fashion student in Thailand, is also an international standard badminton player and was recently ranked among the 20 most attractive young royals in the world by Forbes magazine. She has previously shown a collection of her own work in Paris and has appeared in daring outfits including a figure-hugging black dress slashed to her upper thigh matched with black lipstick. By contrast, Princess Beatrice's choice of a hat for the Royal wedding which was likened to a pretzel, antlers, and a toilet seat was widely criticised by fashion experts. The silk "pretzel hat", by milliner Philip Treacy, became a talking point on the internet before the princess took the joke in her stride and auctioned it for Unicef and Children in Crisis. The granddaughter of the Queen, who is 23, seems to be improving her kudos and has been praised for her fashion sense this week. Saab's other clients include Halle Berry, the actress, Beyonce, the singer, and Christina Aguilera, the singer. A spokeswoman for Princess Beatrice said: "The princess's visit to Paris was in a personal capacity. We do not comment on security issues." Princess Sirivannavari could not be contacted last night.

Coss Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Well the reason for this is obvious, Beatrice has inherited her mother's couth (read lack of). And put two of the most entitled, self aggrandizing young ladies in the world together? what were they thinking? either keep 'em separated or set up a jello wrestling pool...

kamui Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'd like to say more, but I suspect this thread isnt doing KS blood pressure any favors, so I'll butt out. Both women are part of the VIP fashion circus. But the Thai Princess has definitely the better fashion sense when attending royal weddings.

Flashermac Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I have never heard an unkind word about the princess. By all accounts she is a very fine lady.
