Princess Eugenie enjoys all the fun of the fair at Winter Wonderland
by FRANCINE WOLFISZ, NEWS REPORTER · Mail OnlinePrincess Eugenie left the recent woes of her parents behind her as she treated her sons to a family day out at Winter Wonderland.
The youngest daughter of the former Duke and Duchess of York was all smiles as she held onto August, four and Ernest, two, at the annual outdoor funfair in Hyde Park, London on Friday.
The 35-year-old royal cut a casual display in a fawn belted coat paired with a grey top and baggy jeans.
She also sported stylish sunglasses to keep away the winter glare and a black leather crossbody handbag with gold-tone clasp by luxury brand Mark Cross.
Princess Beatrice's sister was in jovial mood as she clutched her youngest son by the hand while enjoying a giant red and pink swirl lollipop.
The art director at the Hauser & Wirth gallery, was later seen at the merry-go-round with the boys, whom she shares with husband Jack Brooksbank, 38.
During their outing, the family enjoyed pizza and hot dogs, as well as a ride on the bumper cars, with the royal seen throwing her arms up in delight.
Eugenie seemed a world away from the woes around her, as her father's world continues to cave in around him.
Disgraced royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor had all of his royal titles stripped over his links to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, last month.
Princess Eugenie, who is 12th in line to the throne and her sister Beatrice, who is ninth in line, will however retain their titles despite Andrew's fall from grace.
Amid the controversy King Charles was said to have been very keen to 'protect' nieces Eugenie and Beatrice, 37, who remain Her Royal Highnesses as granddaughters of Queen Elizabeth.
'He wouldn't have wanted to sign off on anything that would impact them,' a source told the Daily Mail at the time.
The latest humiliation for her father came after the line of succession on the Royal Family's website was finally updated to reflect the removal of Andrew's titles this week.
Buckingham Palace announced on October 17 that Andrew would stop using his remaining titles and honours and would no longer be known as the Duke of York.
Three days later Andrew's title was scrubbed out on his profile page on the royal website to reflect the loss of this dukedom over the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal.
On October 30, it was revealed that Andrew would lose his prince title, before this was officially actioned on November 7 by the King, who also removed his HRH style.

But Andrew was still listed until recently on the website's line of succession page in eighth as 'The Duke of York', behind Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.
Now, with his public life having been effectively ended, the website has finally been updated and the line of succession entry appears as 'Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor'.
His profile page was already taken down at the start of November, with a message on royal.uk/the-duke-of-york now saying: 'The requested page could not be found.'
A series of allegations levelled at Eugenie's parents and their involvement with Epstein have also led to Andrew and Sarah being kicked out of the Royal Lodge.
It was claimed earlier this month that her mother Sarah is preparing to flee the UK and swap Windsor for her daughter's £3.6million mansion in the 'Hamptons of Europe' on Portugal's Atlantic.
Eugenie and her husband are said to have prepared a 'grand suite' in their oceanfront villa for the 66-year-old to settle down after getting kicked out of Royal Lodge.
The former Duchess of York has lived with her ex-husband Andrew since 2008 despite the pair divorcing in 1996.
But unlike Andrew, who will move into a property on the private Sandringham estate in Norfolk, Fergie will now go it alone and make her own living arrangements, it is understood.
And there is space in Jack and Eugenie's plush mansion in the exclusive CostaTerra resort, already beloved by celebrities including Hollywood royalty.
'The word here is that Fergie will be arriving sometime in January', one wealthy neighbour of Eugenie and Jack revealed.
