Eugenie has said she has a bit of a temper.
In a 2008 interview with The Telegraph, Eugenie, then 18, said she has "an occasional temper."
"I sort of inherited my dad's short fuse," the princess said. "I am definitely not as polite as Beatrice, I have to say."
Eugenie continued: "I tell it as it is. I am shyer at first. Like, at a party I will say to Beatrice as we go in, 'Oh, you go first.' But then, when we're actually in, I am much louder and she is far more polite and solicitous."
