Engagement of Princess Eugenie of York and Jack Brooksbank: January 22, 2018

[M. Payton]

I also would love it if Princess Eugenie kept her title, she was born a blood princess and should remain such for it is her birthright.

Oh, I so love that ring, it is gorgeous, that to me is the prettiest ring of all the royal brides......wonder what the pink stone, a pink diamond or pink sapphire, or pink tourmaline or pink garnet or what? What ever it is beautiful and perfect for her. Love their engagement photos also, very nice background and her hair is stunning......

Her ring is very similar to her mother's.

So, a fall wedding?
I will be in the UK in September, but since the Queen usually spends September at Balmoral, I'm expecting the wedding will be in October.

I hope they don't do the tacky thing and sell photos to Hello! or People.

Pink stone! I don't like the color pink at all but I do have a soft spot for pink stone! especially these in a shade like that one! Classic but gorgeous! Yes M. Payton, I think it's the prettiest ring of all royal brides too.

Edit: It's padparadscha sapphire.

"Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank release their official engagement portraits. Duke of York says no date set yet as they navigate complicated Royal diaries."

My guess is a October wedding as well. The Queen returned from Balmoral last year early October and I know Harry has his Invictus Games in late October. When is Zara due to give birth? They will make sure all the senior royals were available. Busy year.

Eugenie is the first blood princess to marry since Anne. And since the rules went bent for Meghan to attend Royal family events that have been barred from fiance(e)s and significant others in the past, Jack should be going too.

I hope there is no drama for this wedding. Fergie should be there; this is her daughter. I never understood why she was not invited to William and Kate's and only going to the outskirts of Sandringham. I also remember reading that Andrew want assurances that any man that marries his daughters get an earldom. Or Jack may turn down a title. And don't use the wedding as an opportunity to get RPOs for the York girls and more roles in the Firm. All in good time. Tiara - the one Fergie wore when she married Andrew, that's a given. Eugenie is 8th in line to the throne so she didn't need the queen's permission to marry.

I’m sure Fergie will be at her daughter’s wedding. There’s no reason to believe she wouldn’t.

I don’t think the question is why wasn’t she invited to William and Catherine’s wedding- it’s why would she have been. She’s Andrew’s ex-wife. Hardly a shock she doesn’t get invited to family occasions involving his side of the family. They’ve been divorced for over 2 decades now. She’d have to remain very close personally to other members of the family to get invited, and apparently she isn’t.

Congrats to Eugenie and Jack! TRF sure seems to have major occasions hit around the same time. 2018 is a big year. 2 new babies, 2 weddings.....

Similar, but I like Eugenie’s better. Pretty shade of pink.

Autumn Weddings ARE lovely.. Russet and Golden tones, leaves and berries..for 'the Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness'.
Should be a beautiful one..

[Empress Merel]

Congrats to them!

Gonna get a fall wedding afterall :)

Lovely news and indeed a beautiful ring.

Is the venue official?
I thought it would be nice if the York princesses got married in York.

[Lady Gudgeon]

Wow - what exciting news. Congratulations to Eug and Jack. The photos are beautiful and they both look incredibly happy. Yay, another royal wedding!

The press describes the stone as a padparadscha sapphire.


I wonder if Beatrice will be Maid of Honor?

Fun fact: sapphires and rubies are in fact the same gemstone. Rubies are more rare and expensive because the color itself is rare.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Did a quick search on google about Princess Eugenie's ring and this is what I found>

Padparadschas are among the rarest gems on the planet. They are strikingly beautiful and almost no other colored gemstone compares to their unique mix of pink and orange. To be named a Padparadscha, the gem should exhibit both colors.

Now that is what I call an outstanding engagement ring even more beautiful then Queen Max's orange diamond or Sarah's ruby....

Beautiful ring, lovely couple. A gorgeous surprise. The BRF are going to have a busy year, babies, weddings!

[Scotslass]

When was the last time there was two royal weddings in the one year, does anyone know?
