Princess Eugenie has fond memories of the North East after studying English Literature, History of Art at Newcastle University in 2009. As a fresher, the royal decided to skip lavish living and quickly settled into residing in traditional student halls, reportedly Castle Leazes, with fellow undergrads.
The then-19-year-old, the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, was living worlds apart from her upbringing at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, but made the most of her surroundings and is said to have had an 'amazing experience' - visiting all of the local sights of the region.
Speaking to Chronicle Live in 2012, she said: “I went to – this is really bad – I went to Wet and Wild, the swimming place.
“I went to the Angel of the North which was incredible,” she added.
