In October 2023, Princess Eugenie appeared on Kate Thornton’sWhite Wine Question Timepodcast, where she spoke about her sister being her “best friend.”

“She’s annoying when she wants to be, and I’m really annoying to her back, but we love each other — best of friends,” Eugenie said. “She’s a great mum. I always ring her for nearly everything: ‘What do I do about this? What do I do about that?’ Same goes for my mum. Literally, constant.”

Princess Eugenie added that she and Princess Beatrice have always relied on each other, telling Thornton, “We’re the only ones going through exactly what the other is going through at exactly that time as a girl,” she said. “In our family, our place of work, whatever it is. You go through life knowing exactly what the other one is going through. She’s my big sissy. She’s a legend.”
