Princess Beatrice allegedly attempted to ‘knight’ singer James Blunt, when the sword cut Sheeran on the cheek, reported The Sun.
However, Blunt set the record straight on what really happened.
"Ed was drunk, messing around, and he cut himself. We made a fancy story up; people fell for it. It was very embarrassing," the singer told Shortlist.
He then claimed the entire story was made up.
“All of it. Apart from the actual scar. It’s bizarre that people fell for it,” he added.
Blunt joked: “I blame him [Sheeran]. He must be desperate – he’s trying to sell records. He cut himself and I just patched him up. It’s made him look prettier.”
The British singer then tweeted about a song he and Sheeran Co-Wrote.
Blunt announced earlier this year he was releasing a new album in 2017.
