In a rare interview with [_British Vogue_](https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/princesses-beatrice-eugenie-of-york-interview), Princess Eugenie shared that she won’t be letting pre-wedding stress get to her. “I’m not stressed at all,” she said. “It’s very nerve-wracking because you want it to be perfect but then you realise that you’re going to be with the person you love forever and nothing else really matters.” The princess, who just joined Instagram in March, emphasized the importance of keeping things sincere especially because she grew up in the spotlight. “It’s so easy to recoil when you see a perfect image, but it’s important that it’s real. We’re real,” she said. Princess Eugenie also shared that part of her wedding planning includes ensuring that her wedding will be plastic-free, part of her mission to make her whole life plastic-free and more earth-friendly. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5356255/princess-eugenie-wedding/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5356255/princess-eugenie-wedding/"},"headline":"Princess Eugenie Discusses How She Doesn't Let the Plastic-Free Wedding Stress Get to Her","datePublished":"2018-08-02T14:49:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:16.232Z","description":"\"You realise that you’re going to be with the person you love forever and nothing else really matters\"","url":"https://time.com/5356255/princess-eugenie-wedding/","keywords":["Newsfeed","royals"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf654a9be243e0911/698936db0a4a2209509d3573/princess-eugenie-wedding.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf654a9be243e0911/698936db0a4a2209509d3573/princess-eugenie-wedding.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Royal Ascot 2018 - Day 1","caption":"Royal Ascot 2018 - Day 1","creditText":"Chris Jackson—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5356255/princess-eugenie-wedding/","name":"Princess Eugenie Discusses How She Doesn't Let the Plastic-Free Wedding Stress Get to Her"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Royal Weddings Through the Years","description":"Royal Weddings Through the Years","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/X9oTAPFe/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-05-02T15:17:46.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/X9oTAPFe.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5356255/princess-eugenie-wedding/","duration":"PT2M12S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5356255/princess-eugenie-wedding/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
