Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank to Wed in October
Princess Eugenie, the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, is set to tie the knot with her fiancé Jack Brooksbank in October.
The 28-year-old princess is the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York.
The upcoming royal wedding is great news for members of the British royal family, but will there be another young royal after the big day?
When Meghan Markle married Prince Harry, she became a Duchess after he was made Duke of Sussex.
Will Jack Brooksbank get a title after he marries Princess Eugenie?
According to royal expert, blogger, and historian Marlene Eilers-Koenig, it is unlikely.

She told Hello!
Magazine that Jack will not be getting any title from the Queen.
However, this is not a snub, as it is a rule set by previous marriages of royal women.
The precedent was set by Princess Alexandra and Mr Angus Ogilvy in 1963 when he turned down an earldom.
Princess Anne and Mark Phillips also turned down an earldom from the Queen in 1973.
On the other hand, Eugenie could choose to give up her title.
She would then go on to be known as Lady Eugenie instead of Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie of York.
However, Marlene finds this to be an unlikely event.
She said, “I sincerely doubt that Eugenie will do a Princess Patricia of Connacht and relinquish her title and adopt the style and title of a daughter of a Duke, which would be done by royal warrant.
She will be styled either as HRH Princess Eugenie, Mitzi's Brooksbank or she could choose not to use her husband's surname.”
Princess Eugenie has a close bond with her older sister Princess Beatrice.
It is still unclear whether Princess Beatrice will be her maid of honour at the wedding.
Princess Eugenie gushed about her sister during a speech at the 2018 We Day UK charity concert, saying, “As my big sister, you inspire me.
