Residing in a royal palace, wearing extraordinary ensembles, having people at your beck and call and a surrounding of beautiful creatures and people has seemed exemplary for all young girls out there. However, it seems being a princess isn't all that cool, if Princess Eugenia of Hanover's experiences are to go by. The German royal 23 resides in Vienna, Austria and is the daughter of Prince Heinrich of Hanover, 64 and Princess Thyra von Westernhagern, 51. Her father is the brother of Prince Earnst, the current Head of the house of Hanover. With him being married to Princess Caroline of Monaco, the family also has close ties to the Monagasque royals. One would think such a royal status would give a princess a life worth everyone's envy. However, for Princess Eugenia of has been more of an obstacle. In a conversation with Tatler the princess revealed how she received poor treatment in school because of her title. "In school, I had some teachers that just didn't like me because of it, and they also said some comments which were not very nice or reasonable,' the aristocrat shared. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure your family's future!

For me, it doesn't mean anything because I don't see myself as something different to others,' she added. She further stated that she didn't "really care about" school and was rather interested in tending to her horses. Still she passed on in her education and enrolled at a prestigious institution in Vienna to study medicine. Additionally the modern royal has even branched out into modelling, something her parents were "apprehensive" about earlier. It seems all is well in her life now where she aims to balance both her interests at least for the next two years.
