Unfortunately Dman, I had exactly the opposite impression.
Me too.
I think Dave wanted the perks (with Beatrice) but not the commitment.

The guy have money and his own life. I think he wanted a wife and family and Beatrice wasn't ready. According to Rebecca English sources, Beatrice is happy for him.
I do think Beatrice dodged a bullet with Dave Clark; I always felt he was smarmy.
But I believe she is bound to feel hurt, even if she's putting a decent face on it.
(I truly hope she doesn't attend the wedding; she can easily contrive an important event so she can avoid it).

Maybe she is happy for him, but really what else is she going to say?The guy have money and his own life. I think he wanted a wife and family and Beatrice wasn't ready. According to Rebecca English sources, Beatrice is happy for him.

I haven't seen Beatrice moping around since the split. There may be a little hurt present over the announcement, but I think she's okay with it and has moved on. Just like he has moved on. I just don't think the split happened because he didn't want to commit. I think it's Bea who wasn't ready and he was. It's very good and mature to end things because one isn't ready to get married.
Beatrice doesn't seem to be dating someone else though.
(As for not being ready to marry, I think she has been ready for some time and thought Dave would eventually marry her. Finally she was forced to accept that he wouldn't. It has to be hard for her, and I hope she finds a better partner in time).
Well, it's not easy for some people to jump in another relationship after dating somebody for so long. Also, dating have to be in your mind. I'm not sure Beatrice is concentrating on that. Her job and charities seem to have taken over.
She also has a monkey on her back -- her mother. A son-in-law of Fergie will pay.
Ask Dave.
Isn't she friends with Prince Amedeo of Belgium and some of the other European royals? Surely they could introduce her to someone nice.
Dave Clark is engaged:

I can't help but feel sorry for Beatrice in all this. They have been broken up for less than a year, and apparently he met his fiancee only six months ago. He dated Beatrice for ten years.
The article says Beatrice is still friends with him and may even attend his wedding...I probably wouldn't be so forgiving...
Yes, I do think that Fergie has damaged her daughters' marriage prospects.

That would be wonderful. How many people here, on this forum, would like to see Princess Beatrice married to a nice aristocratic man who has the stones to shut down her horrible mother and send her packing.
Why is it up to a woman to make a man number 1? No one suggests a man should do that for a woman.
I think it's necessary for both parties in a relationship. Else why have the relationship? I just think Beatrice makes her position of 'being royal' too significant (and that could be a wedge, a man may not want to take that on). She doesn't know how to let go of it and just live (maybe, it's a thought only). Like Princess Anne's two children do, who are developing wonderfully 'normal' private lives while still being noted.
Princess Beatrice being a royal is a job. Zara has riding. Beatrice does charity work. How is it any different?
Anne's children had nothing to let go of. They were private citizens from birth.
Eugenie holds a full time job, and does royal patronages and events. And yet Jack hasn't run for the hills.
If Beatrice had to abandon her entire life to make a man happy is he worth it?
She has worked to build up her place with her patronages. On establishing the charity with Holly and Sam. Why should she have to give that up?
She is a private citizen. She doesn't get any recognition as a working royal. Other then rare event. Zara and Peter attend them too like trooping.
A marriage where you have to give up everything that you care about, is doomed to be unhappy.
