Princess Eugenie treated herself to an unexpected gift on the eve of her birthday.
Despite her royal status, Sarah Ferguson’s daughter proved she’s just like the rest of us as she made a low-key trip to Westfield on Saturday. She was joined by her husband Jack Brooksbank and their eldest son, August.

As she went up to make her purchase, Eugenie explained to the shopkeeper that the flower set was for herself, saying: “This one’s for me, for my birthday.”
Eugenie’s orchid set forms a part of LEGO’s botanicals collection and retails for £24.99. August’s plane set features a catering truck, an airstair, a pushback tug and an array of characters and costs £89.99.

“Princess Eugenie seemed genuinely excited about her upcoming birthday, and judging by her choice of treat – the LEGO Orchid set – she might just be a big fan of building blocks!”
For her weekend outing, Eugenie looked effortlessly stylish wearing a pair of baggy light wash jeans and a dark pinstripe shirt. She wore her brunette locks in a low bun and slipped on a pair of boots.

The royal couple tied the knot in a fairytale wedding at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor in 2018. To mark their six-year wedding anniversary, Eugenie opted to share a personal family photo that showed Eugenie and Jack enjoying a garden stroll with their two sons.

“Best day ever marrying you… happy 6th anniversary my love,” she wrote.
The family-of-four split their time between London and Portugal. They relocated to the sunny hotspot back in 2022 due to Jack’s work commitment with property tycoon Mike Meldman, who is managing a 300-home development in the Algarve.
“This is why Portugal is the dream because I can go to the supermarket in my exercise gear and my hair piled on my head and not mind. Not care. No one cares,” she told Jessie and Lennie Ware, during a podcast episode of Table Manners.
When in the UK they reside at Ivy Cottage on Kensington Palace grounds. The quirky property boasts a charming porch, white picket fencing and a network of stunning roses across the front.
