Britain's Princess Beatrice has been spotted getting steamy with her boyfriend on a St. Tropez beach.

The 18-year-old princess - wearing only bikini bottoms with a towel wrapped around her top half - passionately kissed her 24-year-old love, Dave Clark, in front of embarrassed holidaymakers in the sun-soaked French Rivera.

One onlooker told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Beatrice jumped on her boyfriend. They were all over each other. Nobody knew where to look.

"After five minutes of kissing, people started shouting, 'Get a room!' But the pair just giggled and carried on."

After her romantic clinch the flame-haired princess was seen being given what appeared to be a stern telling off from her mother, Sarah Ferguson.

Beatrice's younger sister Eugenie, 17, is also enjoying the family break and is said to be accompanied by a young man believed to be her boyfriend.

Beatrice starting dating Dave - who works in the marketing department for Richard Branson's space tourism project Virgin Galactic - last September.

Friends say the young royal is so "madly in love" with him she is even considering taking a year out before attending university so they can spend some quality time together.
