The 27-year-old royal - the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth - has admitted she has an obsession with the Netflix drama, which is based early on the reign of the monarch, and has already chosen who she'd like to portray her if she ever crops up in the storyline.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, she said: "I think Kate Beckinsale is pretty cool."

Referring to Kate's 2001 movie, she added: "'Pearl Harbor' was my favourite film, I admit that. I watched it every day for about a year ... I did watch a couple of episodes of 'The Crown'. It is filmed beautifully. The music is wonderful, the story is beautiful. You feel very proud to watch it. I can't speak for everyone but that's how I felt when I watched it."

The brunette beauty has admitted she once had a desire to become an actress.

She explained: I always wanted to be an actress. I did act at school. I did 'Hello, Dolly!'"

Meanwhile, Eugenie came under fire recently when it emerged that she had taken 25 days' holiday in the first ten weeks of her job but she's adamant she's far from "lazy" and earnt her associate director position at the Hauser & Wirth contemporary art gallery in London.

She told The Sun newspaper: "Whether you curtsy for someone or you don't, you still work really hard and make an effort to get where you want to be. The reason I am in the art world is down to me, not because I have a title. I think I am regarded in my job for doing my exams and learning the way I did. My boss is lovely and he understands very much when I want to take an afternoon or go away with family. There's an understanding that goes both ways, I'm in service to my family and I love to support my grandmother."
