Princess Eugenie has given royal watchers a rare glimpse into her London residence during a recent video call for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
The Princess of York joined her sister Beatrice and mother Sarah Ferguson for the virtual engagement, where they spoke with fundraisers as patrons of the charity.
The call, which took place earlier today, was filmed from what appears to be the stylish lounge area of Ivy Cottage, situated on the grounds of Kensington Palace.
The intimate setting offered an unprecedented look into the princess’s private London base, which she shares with her husband Jack Brooksbank and their two children, August and Ernest.

The lounge area reveals a departure from traditional royal decor, with walls painted in a striking dark blue shade.
The room features lower ceilings than typical palace rooms, creating an intimate, cosy atmosphere.
A prominent bookcase and television unit, painted to match the walls, dominates the back wall behind Eugenie’s desk.
The built-in unit seamlessly incorporates a large screen, surrounded by shelving displaying personal touches.

The shelves are adorned with an array of photo frames, candles and ornamental pieces, offering glimpses into the princess’s personal life.
The modern design approach marks a distinct contrast to the grand interiors typically associated with royal residences such as Buckingham Palace or Clarence House.
The room’s window treatment adds a contemporary touch, featuring stylish white and red blinds.
The windowsill displays large frames, likely showcasing cherished family moments.

The comfortable seating has been thoughtfully styled with decorative cushions, enhancing the homely atmosphere.
The overall design creates a welcoming environment that balances modern aesthetics with comfortable living, demonstrating the princess’s personal style.
The intimate setting served as an appropriate backdrop for the important charity discussion, where Eugenie and her family connected with young fundraisers to discuss the vital work of Teenage Cancer Trust.

Ivy Cottage serves as the London base for Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, who have split their time between two residences since 2022.
The couple now primarily reside in Portugal at the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club, where Jack oversees marketing for a 300-home development project. Their continental home offers stunning beachfront views, providing an idyllic setting for their family life with their two children.
The London residence, which became their first marital home in 2018, remains an important base for the couple’s royal engagements.
It was at Ivy Cottage where they welcomed their first child, August, in February 2021, marking a special chapter in their family history.
