Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank are planning a return to the UK as she's keen to pick up more responsibility, reports claim.
Prince Andrew's youngest daughter and her partner are ready to move from Portugal back to the UK, it is understood. The 33-year-old royal will have larger roles with the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and other worthy charities, sources say.
They added Eugenie feels "happy and fulfilled" when "acting as an ambassador for her family" and is prepared to slowly transition to live in the UK permanently again.

But a source told OK!: "Eugenie won’t be able to fulfil her roles if she spends so much time abroad. So, she’s decided to spend more and more time in the UK, slowly transitioning to a permanent move back. There are plans to increase her roles with the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and other worthy charities."

The source suggested this has further led to talks about Eugenie's return to the fold.
“Official royal engagements are also being discussed where she will step in for senior royals if they are unable to attend. It’s where the princess feels most at home. Getting involved with worthy causes and acting as an ambassador for her family is what she does best. It makes her feel happy and fulfilled," the source added.
"She felt abandoned by the family and needed a break from the constant negative attention her mother and father were receiving. All the troubles that went on had absolutely nothing to do with the girls [Beatrice and Eugenie], but they felt the weight of the world on their shoulders. Eugenie gets rather homesick if she’s away for too long and she wants her boys to spend more time with their cousins in England."
The Mirror has contacted the Royal Family for comment on the claims.
