It’s not every day that Princess Eugenie shares a look inside the family home she shares with her husband, Jack Brooksbank, and two sons, August, four, and Ernest, two.
However, on Sunday, Eugenie revealed a look at her home office as she took part in a video call to mark Scoliosis Awareness Month 2025.
The royal, 35 – who has been open about her scoliosis diagnosis and surgery – talked with Emily Hale, a specialist spinal physiotherapist, and Riley James, who recently ran the London Marathon following spinal fusion surgery to mark the occasion.
Her home office at Ivy Cottage on the Kensington Palace grounds in London featured shelving built into the wall which was painted in a deep petrol blue paint. The shelves were then adorned with a number of books, one of which gave away her personal passion.
A World History of Art by Hugh Honour and John Fleming lay on its side in the room belonging to the royal who studied a combined honours degree in art history, English literature and politics at the University of Newcastle before working at the Paddle8 auction house in New York that led her to take a directing position at Hauser & Wirth gallery in London.

It features three bedrooms and is off-limits to members of the public. The last time Ivy Cottage featured on Princess Eugenie’s public Instagram account was when she paid tribute to her husband on Valentine’s Day in February.

The couple reside with their sons in a family home in Comporta. Portugal is the dream because I can go to the supermarket in my exercise gear and my hair piled on my head and not mind,” Eugenie said of her new home on the Table Manners podcast. “Not care. No one cares.”
