Princess Eugenie, a member of the British royal family, isn't immune to getting starstruck by other famous personalities. During an episode of Kate Thornton's "White Wine Question Time" podcast on Friday, October 20, Eugenie, 33, mentioned her fondness for the TV show "Sister, Sister," along with "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and "Kenan & Kel," which were their favorite shows. She excitedly shared that she recently had the opportunity to meet Tia, one of the sisters from "Sister, Sister," and became incredibly thrilled.

Eugenie exclaimed, "I was so amazed and excited, I couldn't believe it! I immediately snapped a picture and sent it to [Beatrice]. It was like a dream come true for any child who grew up in the '90s. I must admit, I acted a bit silly that night, but I can't help but feel starstruck. To me, it's all about showing respect."

The television show Sister, Sister aired for six seasons, from 1994 to 1999. It featured Tia and Tamera Mowry, real-life twins, as Tia Landry and Tamera Campbell. The pilot episode introduced the audience to these 16-year-old characters who had just discovered that they were separated at birth. They then made the decision to move in together with their respective parents. In addition to the Mowry twins, the cast of Sister, Sister included Jackée Harry, Tim Reid, Marques Houston, RonReaco Lee, and Deon Richmond.

While meeting Mowry, aged 45, earlier this month proved to be a significant event for Eugenie, she confessed that she becomes equally thrilled when meeting other individuals - be it artists represented by her Hauser & Wirth Gallery or renowned Hollywood celebrities.

"Remember that film, The Truth About Cats and Dogs? Uma Thurman starred in it, and there was this guy too, I can't recall his name. But I happened to spot him at a pizza place in London and I was completely taken aback," Eugenie humorously shared on Friday. "When I was young, I used to watch that film every week, so I hurried up towards him and was like, 'I'm such a massive fan! Oh my god, oh my god!' I was totally fangirling. And he responded, 'Thank you so much.'"

Eugenie kept the identity of the cast member she met while getting pizza a secret. The 1996 film features other notable actors such as Ben Chaplin, Jamie Foxx, and Bob Odenkirk. Eugenie's ability to remain composed in public is a skill she learned from her mother, Sarah Ferguson.

"My mother, in situations where I had to interact with the public or speak to a 98-year-old grandmother when I was only 4 years old, would turn to me and promise 'I'll give you 17 bags of sweets.' As a result, I would go over and behave politely," mentioned the princess, whose mother is Ferguson and father is Prince Andrew, in the podcast. "It was an effective technique to encourage good behavior, and now I am trying to instill it in my own children."

Eugenie has two sons, August (2 years old) and Ernest (5 months old), with her husband Jack Brooksbank.
