Britain's Princess Beatrice has had her car stolen.The 20-year-old royal's £15,000 BMW, which has personalised number plates, was taken when she and her police protection officer went into a shop - leaving the vehicle's keys in the ignition.Beatrice, the queen's granddaughter, was said to be "extremely embarrassed" about the theft, which occurred yesterday (08.01.09) just after 9am in London. A source close to her said: "She is naturally very shocked and upset."It is particularly embarrassing given that she is always accompanied by a police bodyguard." Beatrice's bodyguard instantly called for back-up when they discovered the car - a 17th birthday present from her father Prince Andrew - had been taken and they were quickly joined by a patrol car and Beatrice's younger sister Eugenie.The two siblings went into a nearby pub, where manager Fei Hameed commented: "They looked very cool and it didn't seem anything was wrong."The car is believed to contain a number of objects belonging to the princess, but palace sources have stressed that none of them are of a personal nature.
