From family duty to Netflix

A portrait of the Princess

Eugenie Victoria Helena of York was born on March 23 1990. The youngest daughter of the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, she is eighth in line to the throne. The Princess read English and history of art at Newcastle University and is a director at an art gallery. Having had surgery as a girl to correct a scoliosis, she is patron of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, as well as various charities. In 2016, she highlighted the issue of modern slavery after privately visiting a safe house for victims. She also sat for Harper’s

Bazaar, telling the magazine that she shops at Waitrose, does her make-up in the car, finds heels tricky and likes Netflix. “We also try to support Granny and Grandpa any way we can,” she said, “because that is what family is for.”
