Princess Beatrice asked for ID by Aussie bouncer

London, Sept 10 (ANI): British Royal Princess Beatrice was stopped at the door of a posh nightclub, and asked to show her ID by an Aussie bouncer who did not recognize her.

Beatrice, 20, handed over a card, which showed her full name preceded by HRH, to the bouncer who wanted to certify that she was of the legal age to enter the club.

"Our customers have to be 18 and I hope she was flattered that our man thought she might be younger," the Sun quoted Karla Vetter, assistant manager at The Jam House in Edinburgh, as saying.

"I immediately recognised her when she came in so I took her and her group of friends upstairs to our VIP area," she said.

The Princess is said to have drank bottles of Peroni beer while her friends downed cocktails at the bar owned by TV music star Jools Holland, and she is said to have settled the 200 pounds bar tab before leaving shortly before 3am.

"She came in with a few friends, male and female, and introduced herself as Bea. She was very courteous and polite," one onlooker added. (ANI)
