Uh-oh! Karlie Kloss accidentally reveals Princess Beatrice's private social media account while celebrating her engagement
Karlie Kloss was on cloud nine after her longtime boyfriend, Joshua Kushner proposed to her with a massive ring this week. The American model could not contain her happiness and wanted to share this wonderful news with all her closed friends. After showing off her ring on Instagram stories, Karlie decided to show the reactions she got from her friends after she told them she was engaged. Some of the reactions she shared included her sisters Kimby and Kristine, her grandma, Serena Williams, and a royal family member, Princess Beatrice. Beatrice's reaction was the sweetest of all as her jaw-dropped the minute Karlie showed her the ring and announced that she was engaged.
But what caught the attention of many was the Instagram handle Karlie tagged in the screenshot. Karlie captioned the picture as '@beayork' which is Princess Beatrice's private account. Princess Beatrice of York's account shows that she is following 1,021 people while her description just reads, "Bea". Even though it is known that royal families are usually not allowed to have their own social media accounts, Beatrice is not breaking any royal protocol.
It is believed that the members of the royal family who have a formal working role in the family, this includes Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, are not allowed to have a social media account. However, those who are working outside the family, like Princess Beatrice, they are not prohibited from having an account. For the same reason, her younger sister, Princess Eugenie having a public social media account does not break any royal rules.
While Beatrice happens to be opposite of her sister and decides to keep her life private, her 651 followers make us believe that she is happy to stay in touch with her friends. In fact, Karlie and Beatrice have been friends for several years. Karlie has often shared pictures with her and the two seem to have a strong friendship. As reported by People, the two even took a trip together in April along with their friends.
The pair even attended a wedding together back in September 2016. Karlie shared a picture of them from the event and captioned it as " “My wedding date.” Karlie and Joshua announced their engagement on Tuesday (July 24) in an adorable Instagram post. “I love you more than I have words to express. Josh, you’re my best friend and my soulmate. I can’t wait for forever together. Yes a million times over," she captioned the picture.
The pair started dating in 2012 but did not talk publicly about it. Joshua also posted a picture of Kloss on his Instagram profile and captioned it simply as "fiancé" along with a heart emoji. Joshua is Jared Kushner's brother and Ivanka Trump's brother-in-law. Karlie's new fiancé also co-founded investment firm Thrive Capital, which has ties to Instagram and he is also a graduate of Harvard Business School. While the couple has not yet commented on their wedding plans, we are sure Princess Beatrice is not going to miss it!
