Princess Eugenie hasn't spoken out about what the tattoo means to her personally, but traditionally circle tattoos have a philosophical element.

Cyclical tattoos such as Eugenie's can also symbolise the sun and time, according to the tattoo experts.

They added: "The circle can also represent the feminine and masculine.

"In terms of the sun, it has a masculinity about it and when talking about the soul, the circle has a feminine quality to it.

"Some have said the circle symbolises the cycle of time and the idea of movement. Everything is in motion all the time."

Eugenie's tattoo is incredibly subtle, and fans were only able to spot it because of her swept-back hairstyle during the Jubilee celebrations last week.

But other members of the Royal Family are known to flaunt their tattoos including Lady Amelia Windsor, the granddaughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent.

Lady Amelia has tattoos on her rib cage and wrists, and she sports a tiger tattoo on her shoulder blade.

As for other royals, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Kate, Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex have all sported semi-permanent henna tattoos over the years.
