For lunch she goes to the Detox Kitchen, right across the road from the art gallery, who do the “best healthy food”.

To start, Eugenie has a full-time job, so she’s expected in the office at 9 a.m.
“We also try to support Granny and Grandpa in any way we can because that is what family is for”, she said.
While most people don’t have family duty weighing quite so heavily on our shoulders, Eugenie manages to maintain a fairly usual lifestyle.
Princess Eugenie poses for the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

“My mum always says, ‘What’s the point of rolling straight out of bed and looking at your e-mails?”
Eugenie described her morning routine starting with a 6:45AM wakeup call every weekday. “If you just wait …'” Eugenie says. “I’m really good at doing it on the move”, she admitted.
That’s not her only digital vice: Eugenie is also on Instagram (though she keeps her account name private) and loves to follow art-related accounts: Auction houses Sotheby’s and Christies, other galleries, and artists such as Klaus Biesenbach.

The princess is a fashion fan – and is happy to wear luxury brands, as well as high street labels. Zara is great for work, and bits from Topshop. Her favorite items? A lace bomber jacket from Essential Antwerp and ankle boots from Rag & Bone. She uses mascara and bronzer by “geniuses” Charlotte Tilbury and Bobbi Brown respectively, in case you were wondering.
Off duty, she often goes out for dinner – Bocca di Lupo and the Palomar in Soho are favourites. She’s also not above cooking for herself at home, either – or ordering pizza.
She might be the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, but the young royal has shown she’s just as normal as the rest of us. It’s very relaxed. At the moment I’m watching How to Get Away With Murder-Viola Davis, she’s insanely good-and Outlander, my favorite. “My sister, Bea, and I have charities we’re patrons of”, she said.

‘And my sister. My mum always says that we’re the only ones who know exactly what’s going on in each other’s lives.
