But she insists she earned her associate director position at the Hauser & Wirth contemporary art gallery in central London, which she started in 2015.

Eugenie has a degree in English and history of art from Newcastle University. But she said: “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.
