Princess Eugenie isn’t as well known as some of her famous cousins but has made headlines plenty of times because she is part of Britain’s most famous family.
The princess is not a working member of the Firm and doesn’t give interviews about her life often. However, she recently made a podcast appearance and shared an eye-raising comment people tell her when they meet her in person. She also talked about why she gets stressed out just before posting something on Instagram.
Here’s more on that and the eight-word comment people say to Princess Eugenie when they see her.

“I do my own Instagram and I find it the most stressful thing in the world,” Eugenie said during the podcast.
“Oh my God, I get so nervous. Before I post I have to text about 5 people asking if it’s okay, have I got a spelling mistake, am I gonna get in trouble?”
She also admitted she was “very nervous” about starting an Instagram account in 2018, but insisted “I want people to know me,” as there’s been “so much misinformation.”

"Your Saturday night starts right here!"
Eight years ago, BBC iPlayer didn't exist, the iPhone hadn't been released and the first series of Mad Men was just hitting our screens.
Basically, it was a bloody long time ago.
And it was in 2007 that Dermot O'Leary began hosting The X Factor.
After proving himself to be the best thing (well, the only thing) about Big Brother's Little Brother, we were thrilled that he had signed up to the ITV behemoth.
Almost instantly, Dermot brought so many facets to the X Factor stage that we fell in love with. Some serious, some… not so much.
From the get go, Dermot delivered a tone and charisma to the job that is inimitable. His slight irreverence and anarchy was a welcome antidote to the often po-faced seriousness of the judges. Yes, Kelly Rowland, that means you.
What Dermot did so well was give the show a pinch of knowingness.

Dermot O'Leary is to leave The X Factor.
The broadcaster will not return to the ITV singing competition after eight years as main host.
He confirmed in a statement: "After eight wonderful years on The X Factor it's time for me to move on.
"I'd like to thank ITV, Simon, The X Factor family and particularly the viewers, all of whom have been a big part of my life for so long.
"I'd like to wish the team all the best for the future, especially whoever takes over from me. You're about to be the conductor on the most brilliant, runaway train in showbiz. Good luck you'll love it!"
O'Leary replaced original presenter Kate Thornton after three series back in 2007.
Earlier this year, when asked if he would ever consider hosting BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing, he told Digital Spy: "Never! You cut me and I bleed X! I couldn't.

Bob Geldof shuffled onto the X Factor stage last night and apologised to the "X Factor nation" for something on the ITV singing competition that was "harrowing and not suited to an entertainment show".
It turned out that he was referring to footage of Ebola victims ahead of the Band Aid 30 premiere, rather than Saturday night's Big Band Week, but you probably understand our confusion.
Does anyone other than Simon Cowell actually enjoy Big Band Week? In the early days of X Factor, making the acts wheel out some corny Rat Pack covers actually felt worthwhile as it was the only sort of record that most of them would ever get to make. A Mother's Day record of sub-Bublé covers.
However, somewhere around series 3 or 4 when the show tried to gain an air of musical credibility, the Big Band theme has felt like an awkward sibling. A throwback to the years of Brookstein,...

Simon is back. Cheryl is back. Louis never went away in the first place. But who else could do an X Factor U-turn and try to rescue the show's faltering ratings?
If 2014 is going to be the year of the comeback on the ITV talent show, here are 6 more things that could potentially return to your autumn Saturday night TV schedule.
1. Gamu
Dumped by Cheryl for Katie 'sod it' Waissel in 2010, Gamu Nhengu's exit was, and always will be, a sore point for X Factor diehards. After being set up as a potential champion with her 'Walking on Sunshine' audition in the first show, there was a national outcry (well, we moaned about it a bit anyway) when she was axed. Gamu-gate and the hastag #bringbackGamu were born and we won't let them die until she gets a second chance.

Frank Skinner has admitted that the Brit Awards in 2002 was the worst gig that he's ever done.
The stand-up co-hosted the annual bash at Earls Court with Zoe Ball and said that he had never seen anyone hosting the ceremony who didn't look like they were "dying inside".
"It was like speaking into a vacuum. I co-hosted it with Zoe Ball, who I felt a bit sorry for because I didn't know what co-hosting meant so I just did stand-up with her standing in the background," Skinner told Metro.
"I've never seen anyone hosting it who doesn't look like they're dying inside. It's like being in a theatre foyer where someone says, 'Can you all go into the theatre now?', and everyone ignores them.
"It felt like that for three hours. As I walked off stage, Kate Thornton stopped me and said, 'Well done, Frank, would you do it again?...

It's not just Doctor Who's birthday this weekend - The X Factor is celebrating its tenth anniversary on Saturday and Sunday. Now, here at Digital Spy, we're never one to miss a party, so we strapped on some hats, got stuck into some jelly and ice cream and then sat down for a nice little nostalgia-fest about our favourite X Factor moments from the past decade. Join us as we reminisce about times gone by...
Simon Reynolds (Movies Editor) - Gummogate
My favourite X Factor moment has to be 'Gummogate', a kerfuffle that saw Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh quarrelling over American independent cinema. Jamie Archer's rendition of 'Crying' during 2009's Movie Week (c'mon, Simon, have you *really* seen that film?) irked Louis so much he seemed to question the very existence of Harmony Korine's cult oddity. This all leads to the question... has Louis seen Spring Breakers?...

ITV has confirmed the departure of Daybreak's third boss in three years.
Editor Karl Newton has left his position after less than a year in the position. He oversaw the breakfast show's new look with presenters Lorraine Kelly and Aled Jones last year.
However, the show has continued to struggle in the ratings against rival BBC Breakfast.
Earlier this week, the programme was seen by only 700,000 viewers, less than a third of the BBC's audience. Newton will be replaced temporarily by Neil Thompson.
Newton said that he is "pleased to be leaving Daybreak having helped the programme turn a corner and having returned the breakfast format to its journalistic roots, with politics, exclusives and popular investigative content".
Last year, former Channel 5 news editor David Kermode left the editor position on the show, having taken over from Ian Rumsey in 2011.
Daybreak replaced GMTV back in September 2010 with Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley as presenters.

ITV has denied claims that Lorraine Kelly may be replaced on Daybreak.
Rumours have circulated in recent weeks that the likes of Rachel Riley and Kate Thornton are being considered for the daily breakfast show.
However, the channel's daytime director Helen Warner has dismissed the claims, stating that Kelly's job is safe.
Much as I love @RachelRileyRR it's absolutely not true that I want either her or Kate Thornton for Daybreak. Lorraine is the one I want!

Eamonn Holmes has been heavily linked with a big money deal to co-present the programme in recent weeks. Warner did not make any mention of Aled Jones's status on the show.
Holmes currently presents Sunrise on Sky News, and ITV's This Morning on Fridays with wife Ruth Langsford.
Jones and Kelly took over as Daybreak hosts last September, but the show's audience hasn't grown and is stuck around the 700,000 mark.

X Factor returns this weekend and it's gearing up to take over your lives until Christmas. And even if you're the sort of person who would normally rather eat a plate of dog food than spend Saturday night with Louis Walsh, there are at least a couple of reasons to be excited about the show's 10th series.
1. Loveable oddballs.
Without X Factor we would never have seen Jedward performing the talking bit in 'Oops I Did It Again', watched Kitty Brucknell in a glow-in-the-dark catsuit, witnessed the horror of Diva Fever or, most importantly, been treated to the genius of Wagner.
From 'Loaf Shack' to bongo-drum bashing, from backing dancers rubbing their boobs to owning a pet lion, Wagner remains the greatest ever X Factor oddball in our eyes, but hopefully this year, he can be topped.
And don't even get us started on the greatest act to never reach the live shows.

The presenter also confessed that he believes he would have done a "good job" if hired to front The X Factor USA instead of Steve Jones.

"Simon [Cowell] is actually weirdly far more chilled than he lets on. I've probably had three or four chats with him in seven years about what I'm doing.

This period of economic hardship hasn't brought about the predicted burst of creativity – instead it's More of the Same
It's said there are only seven master plots in fiction (or five, or 20, depending on who's counting). But at the current rate of rehash, scientists predict there will be only seven master franchises come 2025. These will include: Spiderman (played by a different 26-year-old every three years); that thing with Vin Diesel and the cars (Fast and Forty-fourious will see the gang of ageing speedsters pull off a heist on mobility scooters); and any amount of spun-off Star Wars characters (to be tired of Boba Fett's backstory is to be tired of life). Oh, and Poldark.
Poldark's back, in case you missed the news, or perhaps assumed the reports had wormed through some tear in the commissioning continuum from 1996, which is the last time the 18th-century Cornish romantic saga was revived.

All the signs point to Sharon Osbourne being announced very soon as a new judge on this year's X Factor.
Simon Cowell is not known for his radical thinking (Mel B and Dannii Minogue appear to be on a constant conveyor belt around his various Got Talent and X Factor franchises) and bringing back his old pal Shazza, who he sat alongside on the panel for the first four series, looks close to set in stone.
Bringing Shazza back has some obvious plus points: Nostalgia. Fuzzy memories of the good old days when Si, Shaz and Lou-Lou larked about on Saturday nights.
Osbourne is never publicity shy, so the X Factor hype machine can keep rolling. And whichever unfortunate soul ends up sat next to her (Scherzinger? Tulisa? Gary?) can expect a regular ear-bashing, some fierce glares and possibly a drenching in water if they step out of line.

Red Nose Day was launched in 1988 and has helped raise money for people living in Africa, the UK and the world's poorest countries.
"From day one the money so generously donated by the UK public has been hard at work helping to create a just world free from poverty," said Curtis.

Josie Gibson has admitted that she won’t be following the lead of her ex-boyfriend John James Parton and jumping straight into a another relationship.
The pair met on Big Brother last summer and lived together until he dumped her last month. Jj spent some time licking his wounds in Australia, before returning to the UK and his new girlfriend, however Josie claims she needs to sort herself out before she’ll be back on the market.
Speaking on Loose Women yesterday, the reality TV star admitted that she has to ‘mend’ herself, before she can properly move on.
She said:
I think men and women are quite different because there is no way I could let myself into another relationship now.
I think it’s very important to mend yourself before you go into something else.
So how exactly is Josie ‘mending’ herself? Unsurprisingly, it involves lots of drinking and wild nights out.
