Princess Beatrice in Kent on August 24, 2010

British Princess Beatrice (L), stands with her kite surfer boyfriend, Dave Clark, on the beach at Dungeness, in Kent on August 24, 2010. British tycoon adventurer Richard Branson was forced to abandon an attempt to kitesurf across the English Channel on Tuesday due to rough seas, a spokesman said. The entrepreneur, who was attempting the stunt to mark turning 60 last month, had travelled five miles (eight kilometres) out to sea from Dungeness in southeast England when high waves forced him to stop.
