As Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank prepare for their Royal Wedding on October 12, the Royal Family has released never-before-seen pictures from their childhood.

Ahead of Friday, the official social media accounts of Eugenie’s father, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, shared the adorable pics. 

The duo pose together during a summer visit to Balmoral in Scotland back in 2016 and snap a selfie during New Year’s Eve celebrations in Verbier, but throwback photos of Jack and Eugenie as children stole the show.

“Before they met…” Prince Andrew captioned a post showing the sweet images.

The couple announced their engagement in January, and met while Eugenie was still at Newcastle University in the Swiss ski resort of Verbier after being introduced by friends and have been back there for vacations.

Eugenie said in an interview with BBC 1’s Matt Baker that it was “love at first sight” — and Jack agreed.

“We met when I was 20, he was 24,” she said. “[We] fell in love. We have the same passions and drive for life.”

Their seven-year romance included a stretch of maintaining the relationship long distance, when Eugenie moved to New York City for a job.

“He is a really lovely chap,” a family friend told PEOPLE last year of Brooksbank. “They adore each other and are really serious.”
