Eugenie and her wine merchant beau slope off to Fergie's £13m chalet in exclusive Swiss resort of Verbier

Who would begrudge Princess Eugenie yet another extended holiday?

The royal, 26, and her wine merchant boyfriend Jack Brooksbank jetted off to Verbier to visit her mother Sarah Ferguson who lives in a £13 million seven-bed chalet in the exclusive Swiss resort.

Clutching a white bag, Fergie, 57, who bought the pad with Prince Andrew in 2014, was dressed in jeans, denim shirt, black jumper and furry boots.

She baked the Queen’s 90th birthday cake last year after winning The Great British Bake Off in 2015, but Nadiya Hussain confesses a secret guilty pleasure for comfort junk food. ‘My last meal on earth? Marmite crisp sandwiches,’ Nadiya, 32, says. ‘I would have Smash with lots of butter, mayonnaise and some cheese mixed through, then warm up a can of tomato soup and pour it on top.’ Don’t tell Mary Berry . . .
