General French News | South of France welcomes Princess Beatrice

Tuesday, 21st, June by Deborah Bates

Princess Beatrice has been spotted vacationing on France's south coast, proving that it's not just regular Britons who have chosen to take French holidays this year.

The 22-year-old was spotted larking about in a black swimsuit with her long-term boyfriend, Dave Clark, off the south coat, near Antibes.

Clark, 28, joined his girlfriend on a 'beautiful yacht', according to The Telegraph; and the pair looked to be having a whale of a time - with Beatrice leaping off the yacht into the cool blue ocean.

The Mirror even said Beatrice had been enjoying 'the lap of luxury' whilst on the trip, perhaps funded by her mother, Sarah Ferguson or father, Price Andrew. It could be that Beatrice is soaking up the sun before she becomes a 'full-time working Royal' in late 2012, after graduating from Goldsmith College.

She wasn't the only well-known face spotted in the Gallic country of late; as ex-member of the 'Spice Girls', Geri Halliwell, also picked the spot for her vacation.

According to Aol.co.uk, Halliwell also took to a yacht with her partner, Henry Beckwith, and daughter, Bluebell.

After experiencing all that French town Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat had to offer, she returned to her yacht to take some pictures of her 5-year-old daughter, and to doing some jet-skiing in the ocean.
