"Before I post, I text about five people to ask if it’s OK, am I going to get trolled?"
The royal recalled a post when she had written "your" instead of "you’re" and was slammed by Instagram users for using incorrect grammar.
Eugenie said: "I wrote 'your' - y o u r - rather than y o u ' r e.
"Then I had lots of people go, 'That's not how you say it,' and I freaked out and it was just something so insignificant.
"Ever since then, I have been really particular about my spelling."

Eugenie told the White Wine Question Time podcast: "People come up to me and say ‘You’re much better looking in real life.’
