While we admire Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle’s fashion, there are many strict royal dress codes. For instance, bright nail colors and black attire are often considered inappropriate unless for a funeral. Surprisingly, Princess Eugenie has brought a twist to royal traditions by flaunting a tattoo.
During the National Service of Thanksgiving for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee, Princess Eugenie showcased a subtle tattoo located just behind her left ear. This delicate ink, resembling a small circle, stirred conversations given its visibility at such a formal royal gathering. Although not a grand display, its mere existence challenges traditional norms.
While Princess Eugenie isn’t the first royal to have tattoos—Lady Amelia Windsor is known for her collection—her ink stands out in the royal family. Its discreet nature suggests a modern royal touch, especially alongside the striking scar on her back, establishing her as one of the more edgy members of the family.
Princess Eugenie’s tattoo may be simple, but it reportedly packs a lot of meaning
Keeping in line with royal family traditions, Princess Eugenie has not disclosed the meaning of her tattoo, leaving fans to speculate. Some theories suggest it might symbolize her son or Prince Philip, while others think it may represent the Sovereign’s Orb. Furthermore, many believe it could be an “O,” possibly signifying October, the month she married Jack Brooksbank.
Experts in tattoo interpretation have added depth to the conversation, stating that the circle symbolizes the universe and the cycle of life and death. While it certainly lends itself to significant meaning, it’s also possible that Princess Eugenie simply appreciated its aesthetic. Regardless, it’s a topic that encourages curiosity.
The pressing question is whether we might witness more royals opting for tattoos in the future. While it’s improbable to see someone like Kate Middleton with one, the evolving nature of the royal family could surprise us.
