Princess Eugenie rarely shares snippets of her private life, but the Royal surprised fans this week by revealing an intimate look into her passions and day-to-day occupation.
Although she keeps posts regarding her family to a minimum, with only select photos surfacing on social media, she made an exception to give her followers a behind-the-scenes peek at her work as a director at Hauser and Wirth.
Celebrating her role, the 34 year old Princess took to social media to share exquisite photographs of the artwork currently exhibited and spoke candidly about her love for art, hinting at exciting plans for the upcoming year.
Attesting to her art enthusiasm, she enthusiastically disclosed in a detailed missive: “Introducing the first in my new series showcasing my love of art. As some of you may know, I am a huge lover of art and a director at @hauserwirth – throughout 2025, I hope to share more of that part of my world with you.”
She continued, ruminating on the talent of Monet, saying: “Starting with Monet and London: views of the Thames at the @courtauld Gallery. Monet was fascinated by the light and smog of London as it became an industrial city at the turn of the 20th century.”
She went on to highlight some of Monet’s most significant works inspired by his experiences in the capital, adding: “He visited the city three times to paint some of his most remarkable Impressionist paintings: Charing Cross Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, and the Houses of Parliament. Fun fact: he stayed at the @thesavoylondon and could see both bridges from his window.”
“I couldn’t get over the way he captured light on the water. The seriality of the work is almost like he’s taking photographs just as we would in 2024, but his were in 1899. #myartworld #courtauld #courtauldgallery,” reports The Mirror
The artistic community lit up online when a Post’s tribute to a painter’s unique ability to capture light dazzled admirers, leading to hundreds showering the comments with support. One enchanted fan gushed: “Magical, and almost a bit mystical, but very beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this with us,” accompanied by a warm red love-heart emoji.
Another art lover chimed in: “Love these pieces and The Courtauld gallery. Pleased you are showcasing them as many people are unaware of this amazing gallery.”
Then came a third expression of gratitude: “Thank you for sharing! Please continue sharing these beautiful pieces of art.”
Eugenie’s social media enlightenment arrived on the heels of her upcoming participation in a new documentary entitled ‘My National Gallery’, which celebrates an illustrious bicentennial history of connecting the public with masterpieces. MailOnline provided insights into the documentary where Eugenie unveiled her own artistic aspirations, declaring, “I did art at school.”
She reminisced about her trips to the National Gallery, saying, “I remember going to the National Gallery and just sitting and drawing, and now when I go around a gallery, I see all the young people doing that, and I’m like, ‘I used to do that.’ I wish I could find my drawings from those moments when I was a student, right in the front, studying and looking and learning all about history and art.”
