Eugenie, 32, shares an incredibly close bond with her sister, Beatrice, with Eugenie proclaiming in an interview with The Telegraph in 2008 that: "Mummy, Bea and I call ourselves 'The Tripod', they are my best friends in the world."

Meanwhile, Beatrice's mother Sarah Ferguson opened up about both of her daughters after their appearance at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee - and how proud she is of everything they have achieved.

Speaking on The Graham Norton Radio Show with Waitrose in June, Sarah confessed she "screamed at her TV" when her daughters made their way to St Paul's Cathedral for the Thanksgiving Service on June 3.

"Everyone else looked a bit... very serious and they were smiling and really thanking their grandmother for these 70 years," she explained, adding: "I was watching the telly like, 'Well done girls, you're smiling.' I can't get over how beautiful my girls look. When they went off to the Jubilee Thanksgiving Service, wasn't that just beautiful?

Of their upbringing within the royal family, Sarah stated: "I think the way Beatrice and Eugenie are behaving and have behaved, it's just extraordinary."
