On January 22, 2018, the Royal Family’s official Twitter account announced the engagement, saying, “The Duke and Duchess of York are delighted to announce the engagement of Princess Eugenie to Jack Brooksbank.”

Eugenie’s beautiful engagement ring features a rare gemstone called padparadscha sapphire, which is a soft pink hue compared to the deep blue color people typically associate with a sapphire.

Padparadscha is a Sanskrit word meaning “lotus flower” – swooning!

Eugenie wore a beautiful wedding dress and paired it with an emerald tiara from her grandmother the Queen.

The princess wore a custom Peter Pilotto gown that featured backless detailing to show off her scoliosis scars.

Your bond with Beatrice

The Queen’s granddaughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice share a sweet sisterly bond and both are now raising their children at the same time.

They can often be seen enjoying classy lunches and days off together.

At big events like the funeral service for Prince Philip, they are always just a few steps apart, underscoring the fact that just because they are both married and have their own lives separated, they still share an unbreakable bond.

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are also extremely close to mother Sarah Ferguson.

In a 2008 interview with The TelegraphEugenie said: “Mom, Bea and I call ourselves ‘The Tripod’, they are my best friends in the world.”

A complicated living situation

Eugenie currently resides at Frogmore Cottage, the home of Meghan and Harry, in the shadow of Windsor Castle.

However, the Duke of York is on a collision course with Prince William and Kate Middleton in a new royal dispute over claim to a royal residence for his daughter Princess Eugenie.

A royal insider said: “The situation could very well become a problem in the near future.

“The Duke of York has in the past made no secret of his firm belief that his children should be treated no differently than Princes William and Harry, even though his daughters are not working royals.

“The word is that Eugenie is also trying to find a place to live and wants to settle down in Windsor.”
