Princess Eugenie is keen to move back to the UK to take on more royal responsibility as it makes her feel "happy and fulfilled", sources have claimed.

Prince Andrew's youngest daughter and her husband Jack Brooksbank live in Portugal for most of the year, staying at the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club residential community. While they do spent some time in the UK, living in Ivy Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace, it's understood the family could soon move back to London permanently because of Eugenie's wishes.

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.

After wedding in 2018, the pair moved to Portugal in May 2022 and live together with their two sons, August, two, and Ernest, five months. 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."

It's also been suggested that Eugenie's return to the fold was mooted after it became apparent that King Charles’ slimmed-down monarchy was so thin that there weren’t enough royals to go around. The source added: "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.

"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."
