Princess Eugenie's influence is set to rub off on Lady Louise Windsor, a PR expert has exclusively told GB News.

The Princess of York and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, split their time between the UK and Portugal.


It is thought that Eugenie, 34, and Jack, 38, stay in Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace when they are in the UK.

Meanwhile, the couple spend a lot of time in Portugal as Jack works for property developer Michael Meldman's Discovery Land Company.

Eugenie spoke on a podcast last year about why she enjoys living in Portugal.

She told the Table Manners podcast: "Portugal is the dream because I can go to the supermarket in my exercise gear and my hair piled on my head and not mind, not care. No one cares."

Princess Eugenie also lived in New York shortly after graduating from Newcastle University, despite being King Charles III's niece.

PR expert Lynn Carratt spoke exclusively to GB News, claiming that Eugenie is the perfect role model for her younger cousin, Lady Louise Windsor, should she ever wish to move abroad.

She said: "Louise is a smart and sensible lady who doesn’t court the spotlight.

"She will be focused on developing her career and personal life away from the microscope of being a member of the Royal Family.

"There are other members of the Royal Family who have moved abroad for work.

"For instance, Princess Eugenie spent time working in New York after university."

Lady Louise, 20, is currently a student at the University of St Andrews. She was raised largely out of the public eye and without a princess title, despite being Prince Edward's daughter.

It is unlikely that Louise will become a working member of the Royal Family in the future, therefore, she has more freedom to decide her future.

On the other hand, her cousins Prince William and Prince Harry were raised with the understanding they would be supporting the monarchy full-time when they grew up.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, later stepped back from royal duties in 2020 with his wife Meghan Markle and subsequently settled in the US.
