(FILES) Princess Eugenie, the granddaughter of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II arrives at St Mary Magdalene church on the Sandringham estate as members of the British Royal family attend the traditional Christmas Day church service in Sandringham on December 25, 2006. Thieves tried to rob Queen Elizabeth II's 19-year-old granddaughter, Princess Eugenie, and her friends while they were travelling in Cambodia, a British newspaper reported on May 4. 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.
