The royal couple were married in 2018 at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, after they first met during a 2010 ski trip in Verbier, Switzerland.

Eugenie and Jack welcomed their first child in 2021 and their second in 2023.

Eugenie explained to the shopkeeper that the flower set was for herself, saying: "This one's for me, for my birthday."

Forming a part of Lego's botanicals collection, the orchid set and retails for £24.99.

The royal has a close bond with her sister, Beatrice, and mother, Sarah Ferguson.
