[size=undefined]There is another royal wedding in the works! Less than two months after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement, news broke that another member of the royal family will also be tying the knot this year. Princess Eugenie got engaged to her longtime beau, Jack Brooksbank. The announcement came from Buckingham Palace on Monday, Jan. 22, 2018.

For those of you who need to brush up on the royal family tree, Eugenie is one of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip’s grandchildren. She is the daughter of Prince Charles’ brother, Prince Andrew, and his ex-wife, the Duchess of York Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson. Her official title is Princess Eugenie of York and she has one older sister, Princess Beatrice of York.
Prior to the birth of Princess Charlotte in 2015, Beatrice and Eugenie were the highest-ranking females in the line of succession to the British throne.

The princess and her fiancé, Jack Brooksbank, started dating in 2010 after they met during a ski trip in the Swiss resort of Verbier. Brooksbank previously managed the club Mahiki, which is frequented by the rich and famous. He is now the U.K. ambassador for Casamigos, the tequila company co-founded by George Clooney.
Brooksbank proposed to Eugenie in early January while the two were vacationing in Nicaragua. Once they are husband and wife, the princess will keep her royal title and will have the option to take his surname.

The ring is a blush-colored padparadscha sapphire with several diamonds around the center stone. As you can see in this photo, the princess’ ring on the left is very similar to the ring her father gave her mother when they go engaged.
The ring also reminds us of the one that belonged to Princess Diana’s and is now worn by the Duchess of Cambridge. That ring is of course another beautiful sapphire surrounded by diamonds.
