Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary on October 12, 2026. This milestone marks eight years since they exchanged vows at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. The couple first met during a skiing trip in Switzerland in 2010. They have since welcomed three children while maintaining close ties with the British royal family.
Their high-profile wedding on October 12, 2018, drew numerous royal relatives, celebrities, and prominent figures from British high society. Guests included international stars and public figures such as Demi Moore, Liv Tyler, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Ellie Goulding, James Blunt, and Stephen Fry. Eugenie’s bridal ensemble drew significant attention for its personal design elements. She chose a Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos gown that revealed a scar from her childhood scoliosis surgery. The dress was estimated to cost £50,000.
Royal Tradition and Historic Jewelry
To complete her wedding day look, Princess Eugenie wore the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara. This striking piece was borrowed from her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. The tiara features a prominent emerald set in the Russian imperial style and carries a rich heritage connected to Margaret Greville. Greville’s extensive jewelry collection remains a staple of British royal history.
Following their marriage, the couple settled into family life. They share three children: August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, born in February 2021; Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, born in May 2023; and a third child welcomed more recently. Despite their royal status, Eugenie and Jack balance public appearances-such as at Royal Ascot and family Christmas gatherings-with maintaining a private, grounded upbringing for their young family.
Looking Back at Their Journey
Reflecting on their relationship after their 2018 engagement, Eugenie recalled knowing almost immediately that Jack was the right match. “We met when I was 20 and Jack was 24, and fell in love,” she shared with the BBC following their engagement announcement at Buckingham Palace.
Over the years, the couple has shared glimpses of their life together, highlighting Jack’s hands-on role as a father. As they mark eight years of marriage, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank continue to present a united partnership. They blend their professional endeavors-including Jack’s work as a brand ambassador for Casamigos-with their ongoing commitments to the royal family.
