Gift from the Queen
Princess Eugenie received a lavish £1.5 million gift from the Queen at the age of seven, a Grade II-listed country estate named Birch Hall, along with her sister Princess Beatrice. However, the royal siblings never got the chance to make it their home.
A Regal Estate
The Georgian mansion, complete with seven bedrooms, a heated swimming pool, tennis court, and five acres of grounds, was a grand gesture from Her Majesty. Despite its luxurious features, the property remained unoccupied due to unforeseen circumstances.
Change of Plans
Mum Sarah Ferguson's refusal to move in due to the maintenance costs led to the property being sold in 1999. The sale of Birch Hall, which fetched £4.2 million in 2016, saw the funds potentially placed in trust for the princesses, leading to a series of new ventures for the royal family.
New Beginnings
Princess Eugenie, now residing in Portugal with her family, embraces a life of luxury at the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club. Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice and her husband have carved out their own path, living in a four-bed apartment in St James's Palace.
Royalty's Retreat
The royal family's diverse living arrangements showcase a blend of tradition and modernity, with luxurious residences in the UK and abroad. Princess Eugenie's journey from a grand gift to a life of her own speaks volumes about the intricacies of royal life.
