Speaking on the Table Manners podcast, she said she constantly faced comments like "that was not a nice outfit", or "she looked terrible there".

"I guess everybody has that if you're in the public eye," she said.

She added: "I guess within our family, it happens at that perfect age where you're 13 years old and you've got that dorky bowl haircut and you're a bit chubby and you know, all the boys are bullying you and all that kind of stuff."

Eugenie now lives in Portugal with her husband Jack Brooksbank and sons August, 2, and Ernest, born in May.

Living there is a "dream", she told the hosts, singer Jessie Ware and her mother Lennie.

"I can go to the supermarket in my exercise gear and my hair piled on my head and not mind. Not care. No one cares."

She also shared her struggle with losing weight after giving birth, saying "society dictates you have to shake your baby weight" but "it sends me mad".

'We'd have to ask Granny if we could get down from the table'

Eugenie talked about having tea as a child with her grandmother, the late Queen, and the rules at the table.

"Table manners A was when we were with Granny," she said.

The meal they ate together was afternoon tea: sandwiches and cakes for the adults and spaghetti bolognese or something similar for the children.

There was the expectation you would eat something savoury "before going in for the cakes" - a rule Eugenie said she hated.

"I can't remember the manners being difficult, it was just what you did," she said.

"We'd always have to ask to get down as well, we'd say 'thank you very much, please may I get down?' from my Granny or from Mama."

Tea only lasted 45 minutes "so you can never get stir crazy", she added.

"And then we'd go running everywhere afterwards around the house like crazy people."

Away from the Queen's watchful eye, they operated under "table manners Z" at home, which meant not always asking to get down from the table.

But Eugenie said her mother had a strict rule that "we can't have knees at the table".

"So my mum, if I had a knee at the table, she'd say 'Are they invited to lunch? Are they invited to dinner?' And they'd be down. But it was like a funny thing."

Eugenie said she does not enforce the same rule with her children.

While sharing snippets of family life, she said the Royal Family was brought up not to "overshare".

"We've always been taught that the world doesn't need to know everything about us," she said.
