Princess Eugenie: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 18:27, 8 December 2021

Eugenie Victoria Helena Mountbatten-Windsor, daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson. Born 23 March 1990 in Portland Hospital, London. She was introduced to the public on 30 March 1990 when her mother left the hospital with her. Eugenie was named after the daughter of Princess Beatrice (Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg) who was the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria and also after Victoria’s third daughter, Princess Helena. Eugenie’s christening was the first public christening in the royal family and took place at the Church of St Mary Magdalene in Sandringham House. [1]

Her parents split up in 1992 when Eugenie was two years old and they were divorced in 1996. Her older sister is Princess Beatrice of York (born in 1988). In 2018, she married Jack Brooksbank. They have a son, born in 2021.

Education

After having attended Upton House School at Windsor, Eugenie went to Coworth Park School (Windlesham) and Marlborough School in Wiltshire. She got A-Level grades of A and B in the end in History of Art, Art and English Literature [2]. From 2009 to 2012 she studied English and History at Newcastle University.

Interests

For years Eugenie has been interested in charity work and often attends charity events her mother is involved with. Additionally, she likes skiing, playing tennis, and is also into football and computer games. TV shows she likes are Desperate Housewives and Lost. Since the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011 one definitely also has to add the wearing of outrageously ugly hats in public as one of her favourite pastimes.
