Eugenie was a notable absentee at the late King of Greece's memorial service at St George's Chapel on Tuesday.

Sarah Ferguson attended the service alongside Eugenie's sister, Princess Beatrice.

Eugenie's father, Prince Andrew, also attended the service and was controversially seated in the front row at St George's Chapel.

The Duke of York was seated just five seats away from Queen Camilla, who was leading the Royal Family in the absence of King Charles at the service.

It is unclear why Eugenie and her husband James did not attend the event. The royal couple have two sons, August, three, and eight-month-old Ernest.

Princess Eugenie is not a working member of the Royal Family.
