MANY Brits love getting a Deliveroo takeaway – and the royal family are no different.
Princess Eugenie revealed the lengths she has to go to get a food delivery at Kensington Palace, and it involves going outside in her pyjamas.
The royal appeared on the food-themed Table Manners podcast which is presented by Jessie Ware and her mum Lennie.
Princess Eugenie admitted she had ordered a takeaway the night before with husband Jack Brooksbank, as their palace fridge was empty and looking “sad.”
She shared how she had got a curry and it was harder than you may think to get it to her door.
Eugenie shared: “So last night we got a curry which I never do.

“I never eat them!

Eugenie, who is mum to August, two, and Ernest, five months, answered: “You ring down and we say ‘there’s a Deliveroo coming’ and then we’ll get in our pyjamas and drive down and pick it up.”

Lennie was shocked at the effort, and asked: “They won’t bring it to you?”
Eugenie said: “No, we could walk but I don’t want to be in my pyjamas outside.”
Many fans were just as surprised as Jessie and her mum, with one writing online: "I would be shocked that she has to walk to get her takeaway too Lennie."
Eugenie added that the key time to get a takeaway is on a Sunday night as they get a weekly Waitrose delivery on a Monday morning.
Currently the family live in Portugal at the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club while as Jack is doing marketing, sales and promotion for a property development out there, but they often stay at Nottingham Cottage – where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle once lived – when they are in London.
The royal mum-of-two, also revealed how she enjoyed doing picnics at Balmoral as a child, and said: “We'd hang out at the little bothies, the little houses.
“And it would be very much like, we'd all be getting Tupperware out of the basket, picnic hampers, and like opening them, and then helping ourselves to like the salad and cold meats and bits like that.
“So that was very much normal.
“It's my favourite place on the planet.”
Eugenie also shared how she learned dinner etiquette from her late grandmother Queen Elizabeth, and her mother Sarah Ferguson.
The dinner table was said to be a “no knees” zone and she would be told off if they were put up while eating.
Eugenie joked: “So like my mum, if I had a knee at the table, she'd say ‘Are they invited to lunch? Are they invited to dinner?’.
“And so they'd be down.”
Eugenie also added how she has plans to send her two sons to boarding school when they are a bit older than Jack was when started boarding at the age of eight.
She explained: “Yeah, at 13.
“I think my husband went to boarding school at eight.
“Yeah, I mean, looking at my sons now. I want to hang out with them. I like playing with them. I don't want them to leave.
“At that point, yeah, it was amazing to board and then to be with all your friends and have that grown-up sensibility and all that kind of stuff.
“But yeah, I wouldn't send them at eight.
“I haven't told Jack that.”
Lennie also said to Eugenie: “Can I ask something that might be a bit rude?
“But as the royal family, as more young, do you think you are modernising?
“Do you think there are changes in attitudes and it's becoming more modern?”
Eugenie answered: “It's less about modernising and more about becoming one with what the monitor believes in.”
She said her uncle and cousin, King Charles and Prince William, are “amazing examples of that.”
She continued: “And the way they've been brought up and the work they believe in.
“It's not like they're thinking, ‘God, we're going to modernise it’.
“It's just to say they're moving with their belief systems and what the world believes.”
