Princess Eugenie of York

[Ladybug]

Hired little people for her 25th birthday party.

All girls want to be the fairest of them all at their own birthday party – and it seems Princess Eugenie is no exception. Tonight she will transform herself into Snow White as she celebrates her 25th with a lavish Disney-themed bash.
But don’t think her fancy dress is limited to a pretty gown and a mock poisoned apple.
In an extravagance that is likely to raise eyebrows – not least for being rather un-PC – Prince Andrew’s younger daughter has hired seven real-life dwarfs to escort her, the Daily Mail can reveal.

Ugh. Just ugh.

I'll wait until there is concrete proof. The DM likes nothing better than bashing the York sisters.

[Auroranorth]

So far the DM is the only one reporting it. I will take it with an Everest sized grain of salt.

[Ladybug]

Yes, the little people were there. There is a picture of one them driving her into the party. They were paid £100 an hour to follow her around.

[bklynred]

Um... I'm not sure what to say.

[Ladybug]

Am I overreacting by finding it gross? I mean, I guess they were paid well for an "acting" gig. But it reminds me of Payla Deen wanting to hire all black waiters for her party so it would have a "plantation feel" or Gwen Stefani and her Harajuku girls. Does someone's physical difference qualify them to be a party decoration?

[Witchie]

I don't think you're overreacting, ladybug. I do find it different from the original article which said they would be carrying her around on a platform. That was foul. But being paid to be the dwarfs to Snow White is probably something they've done thousands of time. I don't know. I find the whole party theme to be a bit ridiculous, but to each his own. I'm born on Halloween. I really don't have a leg to stand on.

Disgusting. Disappointed with the Yorks.

Are we surprised? Look at her parents.

[koshergrit]

Touché.
