Embarrassment Over Scandal
According to a royal expert, Princess Eugenie is too embarrassed to celebrate her 34th birthday with her father, Prince Andrew.
Quiet Birthday Celebration
Eleventh in line to the throne, Princess Eugenie, plans to celebrate in an intimate gathering with her husband and two boys away from the UK.
Escape from Scandal
Princess Eugenie relocated to Portugal last year to distance herself from her father's involvement in a sex scandal with Jeffrey Epstein.
Family Support
Despite the scandal, Eugenie remains close with her mother Sarah Ferguson and sister Beatrice.
Happy in Portugal
Eugenie's move to Portugal was not only to escape the scandal but also because her husband has a well-paid job there and she is extremely happy.
Small Birthday Celebration
Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack, live in a £3.6m golf club in Portugal and have decided to have a small celebration away from family.
Health Battles
Eugenie's decision to stay in Portugal for her birthday comes amidst her mother Fergie's recent health battles, including a diagnosis of breast cancer and malignant melanoma.
Future Plans
Despite concerns over her mother's health, Princess Eugenie is unlikely to return to the UK and prefers to stay in Portugal with her family.
