Ed Sheeran, 25 - who recently released two comeback tracksShape Of You and Castle On The Hill - was rushed to hospital after the royal swung the ceremonial blade over her shoulderwithout realising he was behind her at a dinner party. Despite keeping fairly quiet about the whole thing, Ed has now opened up, but has still refused to name the culprit. In an interview with Absolute Radio, Ed explained: "I got hit in the face and I was like, all right, OK, and then started carrying on and then I looked down at my shirt and it was just completely covered in blood. "And everyone was kind of gaping open-mouthed at me. What have I got a nosebleed or something? What's happened?" "James Blunt would like me to tell everyone that it was him and he was trying to reclaim his pop career by killing me," he continued. Both Ed and James were guests at the dinner party which was being held at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, home to the Duke of York, when the dramatic moment occurred. A source previously told The Sun: "Ed had been invited to dinner as a guest of Princess Beatrice. They all sat down and there were 20 or so guests." James, who was joined at the party by his wife Sofia Wellesley, is said to have joked that he would love a knighthood. SOURCE: Express.co.uk Posted on 12/01/17
