Princess Eugenie is no stranger to the public eye.
Having been in the spotlight since birth as the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, Eugenie has made countless appearances, and she's had even more photos taken of her. Now, she's revealing that some of those photos have had strangers approaching her to tell her that she looks "much better" in person.
While appearing on the "White Wine Question Time" podcast, hosted by Kate Thornton, Eugenie admitted that some photos that have been taken of her and sister Princess Beatrice over the years may not have been the most flattering.

Speaking about her Instagram, she said, "I want people to know me because I think there's been so much misinformation and it's so easy to judge something when you read it in the paper or if you see a picture, like a terrifyingly ugly photo of us coming out of a bar or, you know, those action shots that people get — it's not the nicest photos."
"People come up to me sometimes and say, ‘Oh, you’re much better looking in real life,'" she continued, "and you're like, ‘Ah! Thanks!’ Is that a compliment? I don't know."
"So I do get nervous, but I wanted people to see the real me. And to know that I have a sense of humor," she explained.
Eugenie has 1.8 million followers on Instagram, where she posts regularly. Her feed includes both photos and information about her work as a member of the royal family as well as more personal pictures.
Earlier this month, she shared a video of footage from her wedding to husband Jack Brooksbank to celebrate their fifth anniversary. Last month, she shared a photo of herself with the late Queen Elizabeth on the anniversary of her death.

"Oh, my God, I get so nervous," she said. "Before I post I have to text about five people asking if it’s okay, have I got a spelling mistake, am I gonna get trolled?"
While being trolled is an unavoidable part of being online for most people, Eugenie also has many supporters.
