Princess Eugenie revealed her sister Princess Beatrice is “annoying when she wants to be” and she herself is “annoying to her back”.
Sarah Ferguson’s daughter said that even though the two siblings annoy each other occasionally, they love each other and are the best of friends.
The royal made the relatable comments on Kate Thornton’s White Wine Question Time podcast where she opened up about their relationship and friendship.
She told of her older sister: “She’s a great mum, I always ring her for nearly everything.
“‘What do I do about this? What do I do about that?’ Same goes for my mum. Literally, constant.”
The princess added that she and her sister have “always had each other” their whole lives.
“We’re the only ones going through exactly what the other is going through at exactly that time as a girl – in our family, our place of work, whatever it is. I think that’s extraordinary to think about.”
“We’re not twins, yet you go through life knowing exactly what the other one is going through. She’s my big sissy, she’s a legend.”
Eugenie then admitted: “She’s annoying when she wants to be and I’m really annoying to her back, but we love each other, best of friends.”
The royal also opened up on the parenting challenges she faces while raising her two sons whom she shares with husband Jack Brooksbank – August, two, and five-month-old Ernest.
The 33-year-old said: “My kids are so wonderful. Augie is a two-and-a-half-year-old firecracker and just listens to me, I don’t know why.
“And Ernie smiles the whole time so they’re really easy and wonderful boys.”
When asked whether she experienced sleepless nights with her two sons, August, two, and Ernest, five months, she confessed: “If there was a tournament in the Olympics of sleeping, I think I would win it.
“If there was a tournament in the Olympics of sleeping, I think I would win it.
“I could sleep for Great Britain as a national sport and so I think my boys have gained that talent, and they are deep, deep sleepers.
“I hate to say this to all mums listening, but they are really good sleepers.”
But she also revealed a very relatable parenting challenge, saying: “There are other things that don’t go well – feeding times are tearing-my-hair-out type moments but sleep is not a problem at the moment.
“There’s always sleep regression and things like that coming.”
