Princess Eugenia of Hanover shares the dark side of having a royal title
Even though monarchy still lives on in only a few of countries, young girls around the world grow up with the dream of becoming a princess. Residing in a royal palace, wearing extraordinary ensembles, having people at your beck and call and a surrounding of beautiful creatures and people has seemed exemplary for all young girls out there.
However, it seems being a princess isn't all that cool, if Princess Eugenia of Hanover's experiences are to go by.
The German royal 23 resides in Vienna, Austria and is the daughter of Prince Heinrich of Hanover, 64 and Princess Thyra von Westernhagern, 51. Her father is the brother of Prince Earnst, the current Head of the house of Hanover. With him being married to Princess Caroline of Monaco, the family also has close ties to the Monagasque royals.
One would think such a royal status would give a princess a life worth everyone's envy. However, for Princess Eugenia of has been more of an obstacle.
In a conversation with Tatler the princess revealed how she received poor treatment in school because of her title.
"In school, I had some teachers that just didn't like me because of it, and they also said some comments which were not very nice or reasonable,' the aristocrat shared.

'It also has bad sides, having this name… I am interested in the history of my family, but it doesn't mean anything in general for living my day-to-day life.'

'In Germany, it is just a name and it actually doesn't mean anything anymore. For me, it doesn't mean anything because I don't see myself as something different to others,' she added.
She further stated that she didn't "really care about" school and was rather interested in tending to her horses. Still she passed on in her education and enrolled at a prestigious institution in Vienna to study medicine.
Additionally the modern royal has even branched out into modelling, something her parents were "apprehensive" about earlier.
It seems all is well in her life now where she aims to balance both her interests at least for the next two years.

Watch: Vlogger Leaves Restaurant After Eating Only Free Bread On Table. Internet Has A Lot To Say
A content creator recently went viral for entering a restaurant and leaving immediately after eating the free bread provided at the table. The stunt has received a range of reactions online, with some calling it "courageous" and others finding it insensitive to staff. The now-viral reel was shared by a vlogger named Keith (@yung_earn) and was filmed in Johannesburg. At the beginning of the clip, he reads out a comment in which a social media user challenges him to "go to a restaurant but only eat the free bread that they give and then leave." Keith first wonders if one is allowed to do that, but decides to attempt exactly that. He goes to "one of the fanciest and most expensive restaurants" he could find. At the entry, he asks a staff member if they permit walk-ins. They do, so he requests a table for one. After he is shown to his seat, he narrates that the server asked him if he wanted a specific type of water, which would apparently cost him 80 rand (approx Rs 383). Keith declines and asks for tap water instead. "He didn't look happy that I said glass of water," the vlogger says to the camera. He got his water and was then served the free bread.

After he took a few bites, the waiter returned to check on what he would order. He replied, "To be honest, I think the bread has made me full already. I don't think I'll order anything." That's not all. He also requested the waiter to pack the remaining bread as a takeaway, and he obliged. The content creator thanked him, took his parcel and then left the restaurant. Watch the complete viral video below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Keith, no sweat (@yung_earn) In the comments, people had a lot to say about the vlogger's actions. Some were impressed and reacted positively. Others claimed that such a stunt is disrespectful, as they felt he took advantage of the staff unfairly. The spot he visited is called The Big Mouth in Johannesburg. The restaurant seemed to take it in its stride, however, as it commented, "Hey Keith, your Big Mouth sure knows how to make a statement - but how about we make sure it's full of flavour next time? Let's upgrade that bread to a meal you won't forget, on us!" Read some of the reactions of Instagram users below: "Bro's a breadwinner." "Bro ate and left no crumbs." "This challenge was simply diabolical." "I swear you are giving me ideas." "They handled it with decorum, though. I respect that." "Na man!!! You are one brave soul to try that." "I would be embarrassed to do that." "I work at the square, it's allowed according to company laws, but as a human being who has been in the same position as your waiter, that's heartless, especially since it is winter and business has been slow." The viral video has clocked more than 440K views on Instagram so far.
