Princess Eugenie of York and Jack Brooksbank Are Engaged
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry aren’t the only royals tying the knot this year: Buckingham Palace announced this morning that Princess Eugenie of York and Jack Brooksbank are also engaged.
“The Duke and Duchess of York are delighted to announce the engagement of Princess Eugenie and Mr. Jack Brooksbank,” the official statement reads. “Her Royal Highness and Mr. Brooksbank became engaged in Nicaragua earlier this month. The wedding will take place in the Autumn of 2018 at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor, with further details to be announced in due course.”
The location of their wedding, St. George’s Chapel, should sound familiar to you: It’s where Markle and Prince Harry are exchanging their vows on May 19, 2018.
According to The Sun, Brooksbank and Princess Eugenie started dating six years ago after they met at a ski resort in Switzerland. He’s the manager of a trendy nightclub in Mayfair called Mahiki. He reportedly received the Queen’s blessing to marry Princess Eugenie in September 2016 in Balmoral Castle while visiting for Prince Harry’s 32nd birthday.
