Move over, Harry.

It’s congratulations to another member of the royal family as they become the latest to announce their engagement.

This time it’s the turn of Princess Eugenie as it was announced that she and her longtime boyfriend are set to tie the knot.

“The Duke and Duchess of York are delighted to announce the engagement of Princess Eugenie to Mr Jack Brooksbank.

“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 couple is expected to marry in St George’s Chapel in Windsor, the same venue where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will marry in May.

Since the announcement, photos of Eugenie’s engagement ring have been shared in the couple’s official engagement pictures.

The couple looks delighted in the newly released images and the public has been quick to point out the similarities between Eugenie’s ring and that of Princess Diana and now, Kate Middleton.

Eugenie, the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, first met Jack in 2010 while on holiday in Verbier and while rumours of their engagement have been circulating since 2016, the pair only became engaged this year.

Proud mum Fergie has been sharing sweet images on the pair on Twitter along with messages of congrats for her youngest daughter.
