The princess recently starred in a new ITV show about art called My National Gallery, which will celebrate it’s 200 year anniversary, exploring the history, future and personal stories from visitors.
Among those also in the documentary – which will air on 30 December – are Claudia Winkleman, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, and Jacqueline Wilson.
Speaking at the time about the news of the appearance, Eugenie revealed that she had always wanted to be an artist herself. ‘I did art at school; I always wanted to be an artist,’ she told Hello!.
It comes after it was recently revealed that the princess had been placed in a ‘very difficult position’ after being invited to Christmas plans by both King Charles and Prince Harry.
Harry, 40, and his wife Meghan Markle, 42, have reportedly Eugenie and her family to spend time with them in California over the festive period.
However, Eugenie, her husband Jack Brooksbank, and their two children, August and Ernest, will also be expected to join Charles, 76, and the rest of the Royal Family for its annual Christmas celebration at Sandringham.

A source reportedly told The Express: ‘Harry and Meghan have invited Eugenie and Jack to join them in California during the holidays.
‘It’s a very difficult position for Eugenie because she has also been invited to Sandringham.’
Eugenie has routinely found herself trying to balance her conflicting loyalties to different members of the royal family, following Harry and Meghan’s unceremonious exit from The Firm.
Now she is reportedly considering joining her cousin Prince Harry and close-friend Meghan in the US closer to New Year’s Eve, while still spending time with Charles, Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales – to ensure everyone is happy.
While nurturing her relationship with the Waleses, Eugenie is also reportedly keen for her two sons, August, three, and Ernest, one, to spend time with Harry and Meghan’s children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.
While Harry has invited his fair share of criticism following ‘Megxit’ and his subsequent falling-out with the royal family – marked by explosive interviews and a tell-all memoir – Eugenie has been fiercely loyal to her cousin.
Despite being born five years apart, Harry and Eugenie often spent time together as children thanks to the friendship between their mothers Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson, who would pack up the children for joint family holidays.
Eugenie was the only member of the Royal Family to feature in personal photos shared in Harry and Meghan’s Netflix documentary released last year in a testament to their closeness.
