Last month, Eugenie, the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, took to Instagram to share a video montage outlining her aspirations and upcoming initiatives. She vowed to unite a diverse community of influential figures, including business leaders and media personalities, for a substantial undertaking.
Eugenie's post garnered substantial praise, with some playfully suggesting she's following in Meghan Markle's footsteps with her ambitious venture. Others offered their best wishes for her success and expressed support for her mother, Sarah Ferguson, who is currently on the road to recovery.
Eugenie and her sister, Princess Beatrice, who maintain close ties with Prince Harry and Meghan, are known for their intellectual pursuits within the royal family. They recently arrived at Balmoral in Scotland, where Queen Elizabeth traditionally retreats for a private vacation in August, spending time with the family.
This year's Balmoral gathering marks a special occasion as it's the first visit for Eugenie's two-month-old son, Ernest, whom she shares with her husband, Jack Brooksbank. They also have a two-year-old son, August, who will have plenty of playtime with Sienna, Princess Beatrice's one-and-a-half-year-old daughter. Sienna's father, Edo, is also a dad to young Christopher Wolf.
However, it's worth noting that Megan and Harry might not attend this family gathering due to concerns about the privacy and security of their children's images. This decision aligns with their previous efforts to protect their children's privacy.
King Charles has officially started his stay at Balmoral Castle, and other family members, including Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, have also arrived. Prince William and Kate Middleton are expected to join as well. This summer retreat holds significance as it's the first one in Scotland since the passing of Queen Elizabeth on September 8, 2022.
