When Princess Eugenie touched upon not being ‘perfect mother’

Princess Eugenie once spoke about her learnings as a mother.

The York Princess, who shares two children with his husband Jack Brooksbank, and is waiting to welcome her third this summer, admitted that she struggled to take things lightly during her first time as a mother.

Speaking on ‘Our Mothers podcast,’ she said: "For me it's similar, trying to be perfect, not saying that my mum (Sarah Ferguson) was perfect, but I guess trying to make the perfect world for your children when you don't hit the mark, feeling that guilt.

“I think there's something to remember that little people are little people and we put a lot of old grown-up things like 34 years of grown-upness onto little people sometimes.

"At night, for their bath time routine, you know how stressful that is, and it's because I like to brush my teeth and brush my hair and have a bath and put my moisturiser on because I'm 34 but this three-and-a-half year old little boy does not want to do any of that.

"And it's to be okay, the bath might be missed one night or tooth brushing might not happen and to go that's fine because they are little people learning and they can't be perfect."

She added: "So I think it is just constantly, and that's what mum always did, she always was the kid as well, and she'd much rather sit and talk to a bunch of kids than she would to talk to grown-ups.”

"She always still says now, 'no grown-ups', so I think for us, as mums, for me especially, is to, the guilt side of things, not let that consume the days, because the days are so precious,” she noted.
