Princess Eugenie to Marry Long-Term Boyfriend Jack Brooksbank

Buckingham Palace has just announced that Princess Eugenie, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York, is engaged to her long-term boyfriend, Jack Brooksbank.

The couple became engaged earlier this month in Nicaragua, and the wedding is set to take place in the autumn of 2018 at St. George's Chapel in Windsor.

Here's everything you need to know about the future member of the royal family, Jack Brooksbank.

Jack and Eugenie first met back in 2010 while skiing at the Royal Hotspot Verbier in Switzerland.

They were introduced by mutual friends and returned to the resort for a ski holiday with Prince Andrew, Eugenie's father.

In January 2015, the couple went to Queen's Highland Retreat in Balmoral for Prince Harry's 32nd birthday, where they are said to have received the Queen's marriage blessing.

Jack is a socialite who was educated at Stowe School.

He currently manages the Mayfair hotspot Mahiki, and has previously worked at Chelsea's Admiral Codrington where he first met Prince Harry.

Jack dreams of starting his own chain of pubs, saying, “it has been my dream since I was 18, I have fond memories of Sunday roasts and pubs with log fires, and it's something I want to recreate.”

Jack's parents, Nicola and George, work as a company director and a chartered accountant respectively.

He is also a descendant of the Brooksbank Baronets, and is actually a distant blood relative of Eugenie.

The Duchess of York is the great-great-granddaughter of Lady Julia Coke, who is the daughter of Jack's great-great-grandfather, Thomas Coke.

Jack has been seen attending high-profile events with Princess Eugenie since 2011, including Royal Ascot.

He reportedly gets on very well with the Duke and Duchess of York, with one insider saying that the pair are very fond of him.

The announcement of Eugenie and Jack's engagement has caused quite a stir in the media, with many speculating on the details of the upcoming wedding.

It is expected to be a grand affair, with St. George's Chapel being the same location where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will tie the knot in May of this year.

As the wedding is set to take place in the autumn of 2018, there is plenty of time for the couple to plan their big day.
