Princess Eugenie is on a gap-year tripLONDON (AFP) — Thieves tried to rob Queen Elizabeth II's 19-year-old granddaughter, Princess Eugenie, and her friends while they were travelling in Cambodia, the Sun newspaper has reported.
Royal protection officers had to intervene to protect the princess, the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, when a thief tried to steal her friend's purse as they walked through Phnom Penh one night, the Sun said.
The two officers tackled the thief but were pelted with stones by another man, forcing them to let him go and focus on getting the princess to safety. They also managed to retrieve the purse.
The Sun said it was the first time in ten years that protection officers have stopped a direct threat to a member of the royal family.

welcome to cambodia.......
this can happen where, but I feel sad to hear this from Phnom Penh. It is not a good advertisement for Cambodia at all.
*where-->everywhere
Good for Hun Sen country of thief.
Remembered in 1996 in Los Angeles.
Our friend Dr. Ngain Ho Samnang robbed and killed in Los Angeles, USA. This can happen in London or everywhere, when you are on the wrong time and wrong place.
robbery and pickpocket are everywhere but the question these incidents take place if with me and others are much less or no attention at all to the public.
We will see the fall out or not from this one.
We know that in Paris or Rome pickpocket are common. But if it happens to a celebrity, it cost more damage to the that place reputation. That is all about media and public attention...
Dictator Hun Xen was the thief!!!!
it could have anywhere in the world; local people usually don't care who they want o rob, and they probably don't know her royal status. we, khmer on behave of cambodia, want to apologize for what happened to her royal highness, the princess. may your hrh stay in cambodia continue to be a pleasant one at best as there are more to cambodia than this isolated incident. god bless hrh princess eugenie. and please do welcome to my country cambodia.
