As a non-senior royal, Princess Eugenie leads a relatively private life, choosing to focus on her family life with children August and Ernest as she prepares to welcome her third child with husband Jack Brooksbank.
The princess, 35, previously made a rare appearance on the Table Manners podcast with Jessie and Lennie Ware, where she made several surprising revelations about royal life. She revealed how the royal family order Deliveroo to Kensington Palace, and her thoughts on waiting to send her sons to boarding school.
In one particularly insightful moment, the mother-of-two confirmed a rather peculiar royal food rule - that the royal family are forbidden from eating certain types of foods.
"We do one [Waitrose] order every week and everyone piles on everything they can on Sunday night and it comes on Monday morning. Sundays are quite sad looking at my fridge," said Eugenie.

The royal shared at the time that she's "not allowed" to have onion and garlic at her parents' Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew's house (prior to their Royal Lodge eviction), confirming that they fear "the breath" and, like many royals, avoid the pungent foods.

This was confirmed by former royal chef Darren McGrady, who revealed that palace chefs were forbidden by Her Late Majesty the Queen from serving food containing too much onion or garlic.
Princess Eugenie's culinary education
The royal no doubt got her taste for the flavoursome vegetables when honing her culinary skills at Leiths School of Food and Wine, founded by Great British Bake Off star Prue Leith.
"I did a cooking course at Leiths," Eugenie previously said on the same podcast, adding that she "learned how to julienne and make everything and sweat onions."
She confirmed that despite her culinary education, she has become a self-proclaimed "one-pot girl," and loves nothing more than the ease of cooking one pot meals loaded with onion and garlic.

Princess Eugenie's baby news
It's been a happy time in Eugenie and Jack's household following months of turmoil due to renewed scrutiny over her parents' connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The royal shared the happy news on Monday 4 May that she is pregnant with her third child and King Charles is "delighted" to have another great-nephew on the way.
Buckingham Palace announced the joyful news in a statement on Monday: "Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their third child together, due this summer.

The mother-of-two also took to social media to share her pregnancy update, posting an adorable photograph of her two sons looking at a scan of the baby, with the caption: "Baby Brooksbank due 2026!" followed by a series of hearts and a baby emoji.
