Princess Beatrice riding roller coaster

Princess Beatrice took a ride on a roller coaster as she enjoyed an evening at Christmas attraction Winter Wonderland on Thursday night (20.11.14).

The 26-year-old British royal enjoyed herself at the launch of the annual Yule Tide fair in London's Hyde Park and jumped on a Santa-themed miniature coaster for some festive frivolity with her friends.

Beatrice - whose parents are Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York - also had fun on the spinning tea cups, however, her bodyguard who accompanied her around the attraction could not be persuaded to join her on the charming ride.

One fellow visitor who spotted her on the tea cups told BANG Showbiz: "She seemed to be having a great time and enjoyed making the tea cups spin as fast as she could. You'd never have guessed she was a princess as she was just having fun like everyone else there on the night. When some people spotted her she just smiled and didn't seem bothered at all about being noticed."

After her turn on the tea cups, Beatrice grabbed a matt and went to go on a helter skelter slide but the queue was too long so she decided to leave the fun to the children who were waiting their turn.

The beautiful princess - who has a younger sister, 24-year-old Princess Eugenie - was one of a host of famous people to attend the opening of Winter Wonderland.

Other stars to enjoy the attraction included Kelly Brook, Helena Bonham Carter and her husband Tim Burton, Danny O'Donoghue, Brooklyn Beckham, Matt Smith, Nicole Appleton and Little Mix.

Winter Wonderland is open to the public from today (21.11.14) until January 4, 2015.
