Princess Beatrice’s royal role

Princess Beatrice’s royal roots will come in handy for her new job as an extra in a film about Queen Victoria. The 19-year-old, who is fifth in line to the throne, has got a non-speaking part as a lady-in-waiting in the movie, The Young Victoria. She’s set to spend several days filming on location at Lincoln Cathedral with the film’s stars Emily Blunt and Keira Knightley’s boyfriend, Rupert Friend. Beatrice is Queen Victoria’s great-great-great-great granddaughter. Her mum, the Duchess of York, is one of the executive producers of the film.
