Princess Beatrice's double date
Nov 10, 2006, 13:20 GMT
Britain's Princess Beatrice was spotted enjoying the company of an eligible bachelor at a glitzy party this week.
The 18-year-old royal - dressed in a figure-hugging plunging black dress - arrived at the bash thrown by British fashion magazine Tatler at London's 24 Kingly Street with a young man named Dave Clark.
However, according to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper the flamed-haired princess quickly ditched her date and made a beeline for 19-year-old Archie Standing, the son of actor Sir John and his writer wife Sarah.
Onlookers say the pair spent the majority of the evening locked in deep conversation in the corner of the nightclub.
Asked if she was enjoying the party, the princess replied: "I'm having a very nice evening."
Tatler's Little Black Book party celebrates the magazine's annual list of the most eligible, beautiful, rich and connected young men and women, which is published in next month's edition.
This year singer Lily Allen and Sam Branson, son of Virgin boss Richard Branson, topped the poll.
Unfortunately, neither the princess nor Archie made it into the top 10. (C) BANG Media International
