As compliments go, “the pinnacle of contemporary splendour” is high praise indeed; a descriptor that could as equally describe a stunning piece of modern art or architecture as a person. And now it’s been applied to the human form: Princess Beatrice.

Some on the internet went so far as to compare its shape to that of a toilet seat.
