It is a measure of the ubiquity of sex tapes in today's media landscape that not even members of the British royal family are immune to allegations that they appeared in one—and how powerful the British royal family still is that the identity of the subject in the alleged video is still unknown since the story broke this weekend.
OK, so Buckingham Palace denies that the blackmail plot involves a "senior royal", and at least one dodgy pay site out there is already offering supposed footage of 19-year-old Princess Beatrice to its members (with no preview or other evidence, which is why we're not linking to it) ... but we're still holding out hope that it's Princess Anne who was caught having oral sex on camera and snoting some coke from an envelope. Say what you will about her charitable demeanor and matronly looks, but we bet she's a hellion in the sack.
