Princess Eugenie’s Instagram official Instagram account was opened in March 2017 and quickly gathered followers.
It now has 1.4 million followers, and Eugenie describes herself as a “Supporter of some amazing charities.”
The posts have lacked any controversy until one Saturday when Princess Eugenie posted a behind-the-scenes picture of the inside of Buckingham Palace — and the Queen was not amused.
According to The Sun, Eugenie’s snap was of her dad, Prince Andrew beaming in the corridor of Buckingham Palace after the Trooping of the Colour showed him with a big grin.
In the accompanying caption the then 28-year-old, married to Jack Brooksbank and mum to baby August, wrote: “A wonderful and proud day celebrating Her Majesty’s birthday and @hrhthedukeofyork for his first Trooping the Colour as Colonel in Chief of the Grenadier Guards. #troopingthecolour.”
People commented on the photograph in their hundreds, with many praising her for letting people see behind the scenes at the Palace.
But not the Queen.
Eugenie said in an interview with Vogue: “I recently got in trouble for posting a picture of Papa in a corridor of the palace that was off-limits to the public.”
The photo has since been deleted.
Eugenie is allowed to have her own Instagram account because she is not a working royal, and instead is a philanthropist who also works as an associate director for the Hauser & Wirth art gallery in London.
It comes as Eugenie’s cousin, Prince Harry is to take up a new role as a member of a commission looking into “misinformation” in America.
His new position was announced a day after it was revealed that he had a job as chief impact officer at a Silicon Valley start-up.
