Britain's Princess Beatrice forgot about her bodyguard and driver and tried to hail a taxi home after a night out on Wednesday (21.01.09).
The 20-year-old royal was leaving the exclusive Cuckoo Club in London's Mayfair district at 1.15am when she made the embarrassing mistake.
A source told Britain's The Daily Mail newspaper: "Beatrice looked dazed and confused when she left the club. Her security team thought she was with them but she wandered into Regent Street and tried to hail a cab.
"A security officer had to find her and tell her that she had a car waiting near the club, so she followed him to it."
Beatrice and her 18-year-old sister Eugenie were at the club to celebrate their cousin Ayesha Makim's 23rd birthday, and were determined to let their hair down.
An onlooker commented: "There was a dinner followed by dancing. There were buckets of champagne and Belvedere vodka on the tables. Both princesses were getting really into the music and dancing like crazy."
Eugenie partied harder than her sister, staying at the club until 2.45am, but had no trouble successfully locating her car.
Beatrice is currently studying for a BA in History and History of Ideas at London's Goldsmiths University.
