Inside Princess Eugenie’s surprisingly normal life, from calling Queen Elizabeth ‘Granny’ and enjoying Netflix, to being the first and only British royal with a personal Instagram
- Like her cousins Prince Harry and Prince William, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s youngest daughter calls the queen ‘Granny’, both in public and on social media
- She works for Hauser & Wirth, a London gallery, and married her ‘commoner’ husband Jack Brooksbank in 2018, who she met on holiday and with whom she now has a son
The youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson has a quite different life from the other members of her royal family.
At 32, Princess Eugenie is a successful art director and a happy wife and mother. One could say that the “common princess” enjoys living an ordinary life.
Here are six ways her life is surprisingly similar to ours …
1. She calls Queen Elizabeth “Granny”
Much like her famous royal cousins Prince William and Harry, who share the same royal grandmother, Eugenie also calls the queen “Granny” both in public and her social media, showing a close bond between them.
In the documentary Our Queen at Ninety, she talked about the monarch’s beloved Balmoral estate in Scotland. “It’s the most beautiful place on earth. I think Granny is the most happy there, I think she really, really loves the Highlands … Walks, picnics, dogs – a lot of dogs! And people coming in and out all the time. Family-wise we’re all there, so it’s a lovely base for granny and grandpa to be – for us to come and see them up there.”
