Eugenie also works privately with a number of charitable organisations, including Children in Crisis and Anti-Slavery International.
Beatrice was the first member of the family to appear in a non-documentary film when she had a small, non-speaking role as an extra in The Young Victoria (2009), based on the accession and early reign of her ancestor Queen Victoria.
In January 2022, it was reported that Beatrice had lost her taxpayer-funded police security in 2011, supposedly after her uncle Charles III (then Prince of Wales) intervened.
Eugenie is married to Jack Brooksbank, a brand ambassador, in 2018.
In February 2021, their son August was born.
In January 2023, the couple announced they were expecting their second child.
