Ed Sheeran cut with a sword by Princess

Princess Beatrice has accidentally cut Ed Sheeran’s face with a sword in a party prank gone wrong, according to reports.

It’s believed Princess Beatrice was pretending to “knight” singer James Blunt, when she accidentally swung the ceremonial blade over her shoulder without realising the British singer was behind her.

The Sun’s reporting that 25-year-old Sheeran went to hospital to have stitches on his cheek after the incident at a party at the Royal Lodge in Windsor.

Sheeran has since been pictured with the cut, after returning to the party which he is said to have attended with his girlfriend Cherry Seaborn.
