Britain’s Princess Beatrice has a crush on Hollywood heartthrob Orlando Bloom.

The 16-year-old daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson admits the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor is her ideal man.
The flame-haired beauty – who is also a huge fan of TV show ‘Sex and the City’ - has also revealed the most important thing she looks for in a man is trust.

She told British society magazine Tatler: “What do I look for in a guy? Well, I have a huge thing about trust and as long as I can trust the person it doesn’t much matter.

“I have to trust them and have them make me laugh, and everything is fine.”

Beatrice, who looks glamorous in a red dress on the cover of the magazine September issue, also claims her bodyguards don’t make it awkward when she goes on dates.

The princess, who shares six burly minders with her younger sister, Eugenie, said: “It’s just like having a constant buddy with you. They are very good at just melting into the background to try and make my life as normal as possible.
“My friends love them as well. They call them the BGs.”

Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice has slammed her father Prince Andrew’s critics.

The teenage royal, whose mother is Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, says her beloved dad gets too much of a hard time in the press.

She told Tatler: “He gets such a hard time and he’s such a kind person. And he’s just so fantastic, always wanting to do the right thing. But I just have to keep strong about what I know about him.”

Beatrice has also revealed how much she loves spending time with her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

She gushed: “I honestly can say she is the most amazing woman anyone could ever meet. She is so fantastic. So wise, so kind and I just love her to bits.”

The young princess often goes horse riding in Windsor with the Queen.
