In 2016, artist Ed Sheeran (29) made headlines around the world, after it was claimed that Princess Beatrice (32) had injured her face with a ceremonial sword.
According to the tabloid The Sun, the British artist was injured when the princess playfully hit “You’re Beautiful” singer James Blunt (46) at a party.
Ed Sheeran attracted attention with a real sword accident
The alleged sword accident occurred because the princess was unaware that Sheeran was behind her when she brandished the sword, causing the singer to have a visible scar on her cheek.
However, a year later, James Blunt shared his version of the accident in an interview with ShortList. And then a completely different story emerged.
Ed was drunk and joking, and he cut himself. We made up a fantasy story and people followed through with it. It was very embarrassing, Blunt said at the time.
When the journalist asked what part of the history of the sword was made, the 46-year-old woman came up with the following answer:
– All. With the exception of the actual scar. It’s strange that people believed in that. I owe it to him. He must be desperate, he’s trying to sell records.
Was encouraged to lie
Now, however, three years later, new information about the sword accident appears. Ed Sheeran’s manager, Stuart Camp, is a guest on the “Straight Up” podcast, where they discuss the accident that unfolded four years ago.
On the podcast, Camp claims that they were encouraged to lie about what actually happened, according to The Independent.
– I became quite protective of all this because we had never commented on it in public. But someone said, “Oh, you should lie and say it wasn’t her, but someone else.” I said, “We are not going to tell this to anyone,” he explains on the podcast.
– I’m not going to lie about someone being a fucking idiot. Because the person thinks that: “yes, I want to be dritting and lower a sword from the wall”. You just ask for trouble, add.
Also, Stuart claims that they haven’t heard from Princess Beatrice since the accident. Otherwise, The Independent has tried to elicit a comment from spokespersons for the princess, but has so far been unsuccessful.
Joked
Ed Sheeran himself has never commented on the accident, but in 2017, when he visited “The Graham Norton Show,” he was asked about his scar. He then made it clear that he couldn’t talk about it, according to E News.
– It was James Blunt who tried to regain his pop career, he still joked in response.
– So no sunlight in four months.
However, he admitted that he did not understand how the story ended in the media.
– For about two weeks afterwards, I had this huge rash on my face, and people just: “Oh, what happened?” Also, I just replied, “I fell.” And suddenly it came out, the supposed story, continued at that time.
By the way, Ed Sheeran recently became a father for the first time. The happy news that he himself confirmed in the form of a post on Instagram in early September.
Ble pappa
Initially, the artist wrote that he had some personal news that he wanted to share with his more than 31 million followers.
“Last week, with the help of a wonderful maternity team, Cherry gave birth to our beautiful and healthy daughter, Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran,” she continued.
The news came after several British outlets reported that Sheeran and his wife Cherry Seaborn (28) would be parents for the first time. The information came from sources, and therefore the star couple did not confirm it.
Honest about difficult diagnosis
The last time Sheeran posted anything on Instagram was on Christmas Eve, when he announced that he would be taking a break from his career.
In the September Instagram post, which contained a picture showing two baby socks, the newlywed father wrote more:
We are in love with her. Both mother and child are having a great time and we are truly in heaven. We hope you can respect our privacy right now.
