The clumsy royal was left "inconsolable" following the accident at a royal dinner party which could have left Sheeran blinded, according to a witness
Clumsy Princess Beatrice accidentally sliced open pop singer, Ed Sheeran’s face witha sword while attempting to 'knight' fellow singer, James Blunt as a party prank.
Ed, 25, was rushed to hospital after Bea, 28, swung the ceremonial blade over her shoulder without realising he was behind her.
He was patched up by nurses and the following evening, he showed off the scar after the Windsor knees up earlier this month.
One source said: "He could have been blinded. Beatrice was deeply upset and inconsolable."

The accident happened earlier this month at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, home to the Duke of York.
Prince Andrew was away on business in Mexico but Beatrice’s mum Sarah Ferguson, who has staged mock knighthood ceremonies in the past, was at the private dinner party.
The following night Ed made no attempt to hide his injury as he attended a gig at the Shepherd's Bush Empire posing for pictures with fans.
Twitter users asked what had happened and speculated wrongly that he must have been drunk.A source explained: "Ed had been invited to dinner as a guest of Princess Beatrice.
"They all sat down and there were 20 or so guests."
James Blunt and his wife, Sofia Wellesley were among the guests and after dinner, James joked that he would love a knighthood.
The Princess said she could arrange it and fetched a ceremonial sword.As James knelt down, Beatrice said “Arise, Sir James” but instead of tapping him lightly, she swung the sword over her shoulder, not realising Ed was standing right behind her.
She caught Ed on the face, lacerating his cheek which began to bleed.
Last night, both Buckingham Palace and Ed Sheeran's management refused to comment on the incident.
