Few royal profiles age as quickly as Princess Eugenie’s, because every few years she adds a plot twist — a wedding, a baby, a name nobody predicted. Born on 23 March 1990, she underwent scoliosis surgery at 12 and married Jack Brooksbank at Windsor Castle in 2018; she and Jack are now raising three children. The confirmed parts of that story are easier to pin down than the net-worth estimates and royal gossip floating around online.

What disability does Princess Eugenie have?
The short answer is scoliosis. The longer answer involves surgery at 12, two titanium rods, and a wedding dress that made her scar a talking point on purpose.
Scoliosis diagnosis and surgery
- Eugenie was diagnosed with scoliosis as a child and underwent corrective back surgery at age 12 (Celebrity Net Worth).
- The procedure involved inserting two titanium rods into her back (Celebrity Net Worth).
The operation stayed private for years, and she has treated it as a fact of her life rather than a secret.
Impact on her daily life and advocacy
- She has spoken publicly about her condition and supports spinal health charities.
- Her 2018 wedding gown was cut low in the back to show the scoliosis scar (Celebrity Net Worth).
That willingness to be visible about her back — literally — turned a private medical history into a public advocacy point.
What this means: Eugenie’s scoliosis is not a footnote in her biography; it is a lens through which she has chosen to be seen — and it has made her medical history part of her public identity.
Why did Camilla not go to Eugenie’s wedding?
The short version is scheduling. The longer version is that an absence at a royal wedding always gets a second look — and in this case, the explanation held up.
Camilla’s prior engagement in Scotland
- Camilla, then Duchess of Cornwall, did not attend the wedding because of a long-standing prior commitment in Scotland.
- The ceremony itself went ahead at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, on 12 October 2018 (Celebrity Net Worth).
The official framing was practical rather than personal: Camilla had a fixed diary date in Scotland that could not be moved. No statement from the couple or the palace suggested friction.
Public and media reactions
- The absence was widely reported, but coverage did not connect it to any family rift.
With no obvious conflict to report, the attention itself became the story — which is its own lesson in how royal news travels.
The pattern: when a senior royal is missing from a family milestone, the default assumption is drama. In this case, the stated reason — a pre-existing engagement in Scotland — is the one that reporters have stuck with.
Who is richer, Beatrice or Eugenie?
The honest answer is that nobody outside the family knows, because royal finances are private. The available estimates tell you more about how royal wealth is guessed than about what either sister actually owns.
Estimated net worth of Princess Eugenie
One database puts Eugenie at $1 million; another goes up to $4.5 million (£3.4 million). A spread that wide is the signature of guesswork, not accounting.
- Celebrity Net Worth estimates her fortune at $1 million (Celebrity Net Worth (celebrity finance database)).
- LoveMoney estimates a figure as high as $4.5 million, or £3.4 million (LoveMoney (personal finance site)).
Both figures are third-party estimates, not statements from the family or the palace. The gap between them is so wide that the only safe conclusion is that her true wealth sits somewhere in that range — and that the precise number is not public.
Estimated net worth of Princess Beatrice
- No separate audited figure exists, since royal finances are private.
- Some sources suggest Beatrice may rank slightly higher, citing her work and inheritance.
Because there are no public accounts, any comparison between the sisters rests on journalism and inference rather than documents.
Factors affecting their wealth
- Eugenie earns from private-sector roles alongside royal appearances.
- Work history and reported inheritance are the factors most often cited in Beatrice’s case.
Three comparison points, one pattern: the sisters’ finances are mostly private, so the difference between them is narrower than the headlines suggest.
The following side-by-side comparison shows the gap between the two sisters’ reported finances.
| Comparison point | Princess Eugenie | Princess Beatrice |
|---|---|---|
| Reported net worth | $1 million (Celebrity Net Worth) to $4.5 million or £3.4 million (LoveMoney) | Not published separately; some sources suggest a slightly higher figure |
| Main wealth factors cited | Private-sector work | Work and reported inheritance |
| Public royal role | Not a senior working royal | Royal family member with a low-key public role |
Does Kate Middleton get along with Beatrice and Eugenie?
On the record, there is no feud and no credible tension — just shared family occasions and a relationship that comes across as genuinely easy.
Public appearances and friendships
- Kate has been reported to have a friendly relationship with both sisters, often seen chatting with them at events.
- No credible reports of friction between them have emerged.
Royal body language is a small industry, but the consistent observation has been low-key warmth rather than distance.
Royal family dynamics
- Eugenie and Beatrice remain part of the wider royal circle that gathers for major family milestones.
- The absence of credible tension has not stopped speculation, but the reporting has not produced evidence of a rift.
The absence of public tension is not proof of private friendship — it is proof that no credible reporting of friction exists. Those are different standards, and the record supports only the second one.
When reporters have looked for tension between Kate and the York sisters, the record has not produced one that stands up.
The implication: ‘Kate vs. the cousins’ is a framing that fuels clicks, but the evidence points to something blander — family members who share a schedule and get on with it.
How many children does Princess Eugenie have?
Three: two sons and a daughter, with the youngest born in 2026.
August Brooksbank (born 2019)
- First son, born in 2019.
- Full name: August Philip Hawke Brooksbank (Celebrity Net Worth).
August arrived first, giving Eugenie and Jack their introduction to parenthood.
Ernest Brooksbank (born 2021)
- Second son, born in February 2021.
- Full name: Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank.
The boys’ full names keep up the family tradition of layered middle names.
Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank (born 2026)
- Daughter, whose arrival was announced on Instagram in August 2026.
- Full name: Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank.
The announcement rounded out a family of five living at Frogmore Cottage, Windsor. With three children born between 2019 and 2026, Eugenie’s day-to-day life now looks less like a palace roster and more like any busy young family.
Three children and a Windsor cottage are not the profile of a royal angling for more official duties. The family signal is the strongest evidence of where Eugenie’s priorities sit.
Why this matters: for a royal who has never chased the spotlight, the children have become the most public — and the most universal — part of her story.
Timeline: Key Moments in Princess Eugenie’s Life
- — Born in London (Celebrity Net Worth).
- — Underwent scoliosis corrective surgery at age 12 (Celebrity Net Worth).
- — Graduated from Newcastle University.
- — Married Jack Brooksbank at St George’s Chapel, Windsor (Celebrity Net Worth).
- — Gave birth to second son, Ernest.
- — Announced birth of daughter Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank.
The gaps between these moments are as interesting as the moments themselves: long quiet stretches, then a deliberate announcement.
The pattern: each milestone — surgery, graduation, marriage, children — arrived on a timeline Eugenie controlled, not one the press dictated.
What’s Confirmed and What’s Still Unclear
Confirmed facts
- Diagnosed with scoliosis, with corrective surgery at age 12 (Celebrity Net Worth).
- Married Jack Brooksbank on 12 October 2018 (Celebrity Net Worth).
- Three children: August, Ernest, and Adelaide.
- Camilla missed the wedding because of a prior engagement in Scotland.

- Whether Beatrice or Eugenie holds a larger fortune.

The split is the point: the confirmed list is short but solid, while the unclear list is where gossip tends to fill gaps that facts have not.

Wikipedia (royal biography)
Princess Eugenie’s net worth is estimated at $1 million by at least one celebrity finance tracker.
Celebrity Net Worth (celebrity finance database)
What these quotes have in common is that each is tied to a dated, checkable event — an announcement, a news cycle, a biographical record. The claims that travel without a date are the ones to treat with suspicion.
Where Princess Eugenie Stands Now
The gap between what is confirmed about Princess Eugenie and what is guessed is wider than most headlines admit. The confirmed core — scoliosis surgery at 12, a 2018 wedding, three children by 2026 — is steady. The estimates around her wealth and her future royal role are where the story is still being written. For royal watchers, the useful move is simple: trust the sourced facts, treat the numbers as estimates, and watch what Eugenie herself chooses to reveal next — because so far, she has been the one writing the headlines that matter.
