Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, are an admired couple in the British royal family.
Dating all the way back to 2010, the couple have one of the most low-profile relationships within the royal family.
Princess Eugenie is now 36, and Jack is 40. They’ve been married since October 12, 2018, and have since welcomed three gorgeous children, Ernest, August, and their baby girl Adelaide.
They officially celebrated their eight-year anniversary in 2026, where Eugenie shared a touching video of her husband and daughter on Instagram.
“Happy 8 years married my love. 🥳,” she wrote. In the video, Jack is holding their baby daughter Adelaide.
“What you can’t hear in this video is Jack asking our daughter if she likes her head being massaged that way… so thoughtful, caring, and best Dada there is to our 3. Couldn’t have wished for a better partner.”
Who is Jack Brooksbank?
Jack is a former English socialite and comes from his own line of British nobility. However, he does not have a royal title of his own.
Born in London, Jack has worked mostly within the hospitality industry including as the brand ambassador for George Clooney’s popular tequila brand, Casamigos, as well as the nightclub manager at Mahiki, a club in London.
In 2022, Jack landed a new job in Portugal at a development corporation called Discovery Land Company. This change means that the couple now splits their time between the UK and Portugal.
When did Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank meet?
The couple met in March 2010 on a skiing holiday in Verbier, Switzerland. At the time, Eugenie was 20 and Jack and 24 and they crossed paths through mutual friends. It was love at first sight!
Reflecting upon their first date during a guest appearance on the podcast Table Manners, Eugenie said they’d had to wait two months to meet up again.
“We went to a restaurant called Osteria Basilico in Notting Hill. It has the best pasta with courgettes, tomatoes, and prawns,” the royal reflected fondly.
The loved-up couple made their official public debut at Royal Ascot together in 2011.
Despite their fairytale beginning, the relationship wasn’t always smooth sailing.
From 2013 to 2015, Eugenie was living in New York City working for online auction house Paddle8 while Jack was still in London.
As much as a long-distance relationship could cause a strain on any relationship, Eugenie and Jack emerged stronger than ever and still found every way to feel close to one another.
In an interview with Daily Mail in 2013, Jack said that they “spend a lot of time on Skype”.
In 2015, Jack started to settle in as part of the family and attended the Royal Ascot with Eugenie and her parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson.
When did Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank get engaged?
In January 2018, while on vacation in Nicaragua, Jack got on one knee and popped the big question!
The couple had been together for seven years at this point, but it still came as a joyful surprise to Eugenie.
The engagement ring featured an oval-cut, rare padparadscha sapphire that is surrounded by a halo of diamonds that are set on a gold band and flanked by two further pear-shaped diamonds. Fans remarked that it looked very much like her mother Sarah Ferguson’s engagement ring.
Speaking with the BBC in a post-engagement interview, Jack revealed that the padparadscha sapphire served as a fond reminder of his then-fiancée.
“It changes colour when it hits certain lights, much like Eugenie.”
Awww!
When did Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank get married?
Eugenie and Jack were married on October 12, 2018, at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
800 guests attended the ceremony, including Eugenie’s grandparents Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
Dr Anthony Wallersteiner, Jack’s school headmaster attended the reception; he spoke to HELLO! and shared some details about Jack’s speech on the day.
“It was a very human, very warm, and very intimate ceremony combined with that sense of a public occasion,” Anthony told HELLO!
“They’re clearly in love… They have a great sense of humour. They both enjoy the same sort of things. They’re both entrepreneurial. And they both have a really keen sense of the importance of family, and they’re showing what you can do now in the royal family, embodying a modern approach to careers and service, which I think is the template going forward for a working royal.”
They melt our hearts!
How many children do Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have?
In September 2020, the couple announced they were expecting their first child.
On February 9, 2021, Eugenie and Jack welcomed their first child into the world, their son August Philip Hawke Brooksbank.
Just over two years later, on May 30th, 2023, August became a big brother as the lovely couple welcomed their second son, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank.
“He is named after his great-great-great-grandfather George, his Grandpa George, and my Grandpa Ronald. Augie is loving being a big brother already,” Eugenie captioned a very cute Instagram post she made of their newborn.
Fast forward to 2026, and they welcomed their daughter, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, into the world on August 3.
“Jack and I are so excited to announce Baby Girl Brooksbank!! We are beyond in love with our girlie. 💓💓💓💓💓,” Eugenie wrote on Instagram after she was born.
Weeks later, Eugenie shared an announcement that read, “2 weeks ago today we welcomed our girl to the world. And since then we’ve had the most special, cosy and love-filled time.
“We are so happy to share Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank. Named after three people we love and admire past and present, including her Great-Grandmother who we hold close in our hearts. Her name is part of English and Portuguese history, two places we love and call home.”
“Augie and Ernie are already the best big brothers.”
