Ed Sheeran was apparently rushed to hospital over the weekend after Princess Beatrice sliced his face with a sword. Now there's a sentence we never thought we'd see ourselves writing this Monday morning.
The strange series of events began at a dinner held by Princess Beatrice where she was joined by guests including Sheeran and singer James Blunt. As a party prank, Beatrice decided to stage a mock knighting on James Blunt with a ceremonial sword from the house.
A source told The Sun : “James played along with the prank and got down on one knee as he would if he were at Buckingham Palace being honoured by The Queen.
“Beatrice, who was in great form, held the sword above him and said ‘arise Sir James’, just like her nan would at the Palace.
“But she must have misjudged the weight or something and, instead of lightly tapping him on the shoulder, she swung it back, not knowing Ed was standing right behind her."
Ed was then rushed to hospital, but in true Ed style, he didn't really make a fuss...
“The blade cut into his face and it was just a few inches from his right eye. A couple of the guests said it could have been worse and he could have been blinded in the eye but Ed really played it down," the source said.
Note to self: don't invite Princess Beatrice to your dinner party.
