Princess Eugenie delighted fans this week when she offered a glimpse at her seldom seen life away from the royal spotlight, by focusing on her career and love of art

When it comes to sharing glimpses of her private life, Princess Eugenie is very much a closed book, with only a handful of photos and posts involving eight family members making it onto social media throughout the year. However, this week the Princess broke from tradition and offered fans an exclusive look at a seldom seen portion of her life away from the royal family, when she shared a glimpse at her day job as a director at Hauser & Wirth art gallery.

To mark the occasion, her royal highness, 34, posted a string of stunning photographs on social media which showcased some of the pieces of art currently on display, as well as opening up about her huge passion for art – and what that means for the year ahead.

Promising to share “more of that part of my world with you” in a lengthy post, Eugenie wrote: “Introducing the first in my new series showcasing my love of art. As some of you may know, I am a huge lover of art and a director at @hauserwirth — throughout 2025, I hope to share more of that part of my world with you.

“Starting with Monet and London: views of the Thames at the @courtauld Gallery. Monet was fascinated by the light and smog of London as it became an industrial city at the turn of the 20th century.

“He visited the city three times to paint some of his most remarkable Impressionist paintings: Charing Cross Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, and the Houses of Parliament. Fun fact: he stayed at the @thesavoylondon and could see both bridges from his window.”

“I couldn’t get over the way he captured light on the water. The seriality of the work is almost like he’s taking photographs just as we would in 2024, but his were in 1899. #myartworld #courtauld #courtauldgallery.”

Immediately after the post was made, hundreds of people flooded the comments section with messages of support, with one fan writing: “Magical, and almost a bit mystical, but very beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this with us,” alongside a red love-heart emoji.

A second fan also weighed in writing: “Love these pieces and The Courtauld gallery. Pleased you are showcasing them as many people are unaware of this amazing gallery.”

Before a third commenter added: “Thank you for sharing! Please continue sharing these beautiful pieces of art.”

The update came just days after it was announced that Eugenie would be appearing in a new documentary, My National Gallery, celebrating 200 years of bringing people and paintings together. According to MailOnline, in the documentary, Eugenie revealed that she had “always wanted to be an artist” , as she told audiences: “I did art at school.”

“I remember going to the National Gallery and just sitting and drawing, and now when I go around a gallery, I see all the young people doing that, and I’m like, ‘I used to do that.’ I wish I could find my drawings from those moments when I was a student, right in the front, studying and looking and learning all about history and art.”
