"I want people to know me, because I think there has been so much misinformation," she said.

"The action shots that some people get, it's not the nicest photos."

Being 11th in line for the British throne hasn't stopped the royal from being trolled on social media.
"I do my own Instagram and I find it the most stressful thing in the world," she said.
"I get so nervous. Before I post, I have to text about five people asking them if it's OK or if it's got a spelling mistake, am I going to get trolled?"
She said it stemmed from one incident where she "wrote 'your' - y o u r - rather than y o u ' r e."
"Then I had lots of people go 'that's not how you say it' and I freaked out and it was just something so insignificant," she added.
"Ever since then, I have been really particular about my spelling."
