It's Princess Eugenie's birthday today - and no doubt she will be treated to some amazing presents from her wealthy family.

Eugenie turns 32 today, and will probably be looking forward to her present from her grandmother, the Queen. Once, the Queen treated Eugenie and her older sister Princess Beatrice to an extra special birthday present when they were just children - but the siblings never got the chance to use it.

As reported in The Mirror, Her Majesty splashed out on the lavish Birch Hall mansion for the girls in 1997. The Surrey mansion boasts an impressive seven bedrooms and was to be held for the sisters to use when they were older - as they were only aged seven and nine when they were gifted it.The stunning house also had a tennis court, a swimming pool and a separate two-bedroom house on the stunning estate, which could have made it the perfect home for the girls and their mum, Sarah Ferguson.But despite having the gorgeous Georgian property all to themselves, the sisters never actually moved into Birch Hall.

In fact, it sat empty for two years.According to the Mail, Fergie refused to move in, claiming she couldn't afford the huge upkeep costs.Therefore it was sold for £1.5 million, with the money reportedly being put into a trust for the sisters to access when they got older.According to estate agents, it was being sold due to a "change of circumstance."The house was sold again in 2016 - for a whopping £4.2 million.Speaking at the time of the second sale, estate agent Andrew Russell from Strutt & Parker told the Mail: "It is probably one of the very best of north Surrey's village houses, there's not many that come on the market."The house itself is a very attractive and imposing-looking property.
