Beatrice cools off on the French Riviera

Beatrice has escaped the rain this weekend and headed for sunnier climes.

Holidaying on the French Riviera, the princess took full advantage of the sun as she took to the St Tropez port for an afternoon stroll.

The heat proved too much though and she stopped for an ice cream to cool off.

Beatrice,19, appeared fresh-faced on her break from the London party scene.

Last week, she looked tired and bleary-eyed after two consecutive nights on the tiles.

But now, dressed casually in white sun dress in flip flops, it looks as though the princess has benefited from some much needed rest and relaxation.

Beatrice, who starts university in September, has finished her unpaid stint as a personal shopper in Selfridges, and is rumoured to have taken up a work experience position with the Financial Times.
