Ed Sheeran's face was cut by Princess Beatrice with a sword, star's manager claims
Rumor has it the royal allegedly sliced the singer's face on accident
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Ed Sheeran's manager has spoken out regarding an alleged incident between the singer and Princess Beatrice.
In 2017, reports circulated that Sheeran was partying with Beatrice and singer James Blunt at Royal Lodge in Windsor when the princess pretended to knight Blunt with a ceremonial sword and accidentally sliced Sheeran's face.
Per Vulture, Sheeran, now 29, told Absolute Radio at the time that he didn't realize he'd been cut until he "looked down at [his] shirt and it was just completely covered in blood."

Sheeran's manager since 2011, Stuart Camp, recently addressed the incident during an episode of the "Straight Up" podcast.

"Certain people said, 'Oh, you should lie and say it wasn't her and say it was someone else," the manager remembered. "I said, 'Well, we're not telling anyone anything. I'm not lying, just because someone's a f---ing idiot and they've been waving a sword around when you're all drunk. It's not safe!"

"When you hang out with those sort of circles you're just asking for trouble, aren't you?" he added.

Blunt denied the events in 2017, telling Shortlist magazine that Sheeran cut himself while "drunk, messing around."

Sheeran made mention of the evening during a visit to "The Graham Norton Show," insisting he had "no idea how [the story] came out as there weren’t a lot of people there that night."
