Princess on the brink 'BEA IS FALLING APART'

A ROCKY FEW MONTHS HAS EVERYONE ON HIGH ALERT

Princess Beatrice was all smiles at a recent New York charity event alongside the Swedish royals, however, her appearance has set off alarm bells for long-time friends.

After what has been a tough start to the year, the 34-year-old was barely recognisable in pictures posted online with Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia at a function for dyslexia awareness.

"Bea really looks a shadow of her former self," says one insider. "It's sad, but no surprise to a lot of her mates. They've been worried about her ever since her dad [Prince Andrew] went from hero to zero. The joys of welcoming [daughter] Sienna has been completely overshadowed by the most hellish of family dramas."
