The Duke and Duchess of York travelled to New York last month when their daughter Princess Eugenie started work at the online fine art auctioneer Paddle8. The 23-year-old granddaughter of the Queen could, however, soon be back in Blighty.
Her boss, Alexander Gilkes, says the company he co-founded is to open an office in London.
“We’ve got a guy over here right now building a team,” he tells Mandrake at the GQ 25th anniversary dinner at the Phillips Gallery in Westminster, where he led the auction for the Prince’s Trust.
The Princess has a degree in Art History and English Literature from Newcastle University.
“We’re opening an office in London at the beginning of next year. One of our investors is Damien Hirst and his businessman is helping us. Jay Jopling is another investor who is offering us extra office support when we need it.”

Happily, she had no such concerns about her daughter’s boyfriend, Charlie Southern, 26, who works in finance. He has been “cleared” to marry Cornelia Furse, 26, an analyst at Fidelity International.
Dame Clara gave Cornelia and each of her two brothers, Maximilian and Ralf, £100,000 worth of stock in the LSE stock in 2008. It should be a good wedding.
