FERGIE’S GIRLS ‘KEEPING IT REAL’
fashion taste had reduced them to tears.
But they said there was “no point being angry with anyone for beating us up – we just need to shine light and love in the world”.
Eugenie recalled one upsetting occasion, on the day of a garden party at Buckingham Palace.
She said: “There was a horrible article written about Beatrice and she got really upset.
“We were just about to step out and she had a bit of a wobble and cried. I was looking after her.
“And then about an hour later, I had a wobble and started crying and Bea was there for me.”
Eugenie also revealed she is banning plastic from her wedding to Jack at Windsor Castle in October, which is likely to set public funds back millions of pounds.
The decision was apparently inspired by her work with Project Zero, an environmental charity dedicated to protecting marine life.
“My whole house is anti-plastic – and Jack and I want our wedding to be like that as well,” she said.
The sisters, who say they are “each other’s rocks”, confirmed that Beatrice would be maid of honour.
She said: “Euge is amazing. She’s a very modern bride.”
Eugenie insisted that she had not turned into a “bridezilla”.
She said: “I’m not stressed at all. It’s nerve-racking because you want it to be perfect, but then you realise that you’re going to be with the person you love forever and nothing else really matters.”
They also revealed that one of the biggest fights they had ever had was a dispute over a pair of Converse trainers.
“We have the same size feet and both of us had identical pairs,” Beatrice said.
“One pair got trashed and the other sister may have swapped them.”
Royal expert and biographer Ingrid Seward, who knows the sisters, said that they had been criticised unfairly and were both “great fun, super friendly and always cheery”.
The editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine added: “It is a tough gig being the Queen’s granddaughters, being a princess and keeping a normal job. They handle it so well.”
But Graham Smith, CEO of antimonarchy group Republic, said: “They need to grow up, step back and get a sense of perspective. The big problem the royals have is they have no idea how the rest of us live.
“If Eugenie and Beatrice think it’s tough being a royal they might want to spare a thought for single parents who have to face going to foodbanks just so they can give their kids breakfast.”
