Princess Eugenie has made a surprising decision that will significantly impact her family’s life, catching royal fans off guard.
Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s daughter Eugenie and her husband are reportedly considering a permanent return to the UK.
Currently, the 34-year-old and Jack Brooksbank spend most of their time in Portugal, where Brooksbank is involved in developing a beach resort with Meldman’s Discovery Land Company.
Despite this, the 38-year-old continues to co-own AEB Consultants, a successful wine business with his mother Nicola, which saw £616,610 in its account at the end of the last financial year on March 31.
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.
“Jack’s company doing so well makes it easier for them to head back to England on a more permanent basis.
“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.”
The source believes Eugenie and her family’s true home is the UK, adding: “They are British through and through. There’s no way they would move away from the UK on a permanent basis.
It has been reported that Princess Eugenie and her cousin, Prince Harry were on good terms despite his break from the Royal Family, and she even visited him and Meghan at their home in Montecito.
However, in recent years, Eugenie and her older sister have shown their loyalties to the Firm and may not be as close to the Sussexes as once thought, according to a source.
