Princess Eugenie has given royal fans a rare glimpse of her London residence, Ivy Cottage, located in Kensington Palace, through a Valentine's Day Instagram post shared on Saturday.

The 34-year-old royal posted a touching photo featuring herself, her husband Jack Brooksbank, and their youngest son Ernest outside their charming home.


In the belated Valentine's message, Eugenie wrote: "My valentine!! Love you to the moon and back... Happy Valentine's Day (for yesterday...whoops)."

The summer snapshot shows the family of three basking in bright sunshine outside their Kensington Palace grounds residence, where they stay during their time in the UK.

The exterior of Ivy Cottage exudes storybook charm with its pristine white picket fence encircling the property.

The home features elegant white framing around both windows and the front door, creating a classic aesthetic.

Raspberry-red roses climb the brickwork, adding a splash of colour to the traditional brick facade.

The cottage's low-ceiling design, visible from the roof in the photograph, contributes to its cosy atmosphere.

The property, situated within the grounds of Kensington Palace, serves as the perfect London base for the family of four, which includes their eldest son August, aged four.

In January, royal watchers were treated to another view of Ivy Cottage when Princess Eugenie joined a video call for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The footage revealed a modern office space painted in deep blue tones.

A sophisticated bookcase and television unit, painted to match the walls, create a seamless look in the modestly-sized room.

The space features a large screen with surrounding shelves adorned with photo frames, candles and decorative ornaments.

The contemporary interior marks a departure from the grand, traditional rooms typically associated with royal residences.

When not in London, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank make their primary home in Portugal.

The couple relocated after Jack secured a position managing marketing for a 300-home development at the Costa Terra Golf and Ocean Club.

They divide their time between the sunny European destination and their London cottage.

Their Portuguese residence allows the family to enjoy the Mediterranean climate while Jack oversees the marketing of the luxury development project.

The arrangement enables them to maintain both their UK royal connections through Ivy Cottage and their professional commitments abroad.
