Her comments come amid growing speculation the Duke of York’s daughter could look to return to the UK from Portugal.
A source told the Daily Express: “Eugenie is adamant that she wants to head back to the UK on a more permanent basis and use the villa in Portugal as a holiday home.
“They are very close to their families and all like spending lots of quality time together with the children. Jack's success has given them the freedom to fly back and forth between two countries and provide the boys with a loving and close-knit family unit.

“They [the family] are currently spending a lot of time in Portugal and as the boys get a bit older, they are looking for kindergartens near to their London home and eventually schools in the UK.”
