Princess Eugenie paid tribute to her husband Jack Brooksbank on his 39th birthday on Saturday, May 3.
“Happy Birthday to my hero. Gosh it’s been 14 years and every birthday gets better as our family grows,” Eugenie, 35, wrote via Instagram for the special occasion. “Best Dada ever and the best memories with so many more to come.”
The royal shared a carousel of photos taken throughout her relationship with Brooksbank — from their earliest days together to more recent shots of the couple on the sidelines of a Formula 1 race in Bahrain. Share also posted adorable family photos of Brooksbank with their children, August (a.k.a. Augie), born February 2021, and Ernest, born May 2023.
Princess Eugenie — who is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson — started dating Brooksbank in 2010 after meeting at a Swiss ski resort. Buckingham Palace confirmed the exciting news in January 2018 that Eugenie and Brooksbank got engaged during a trip to Nicaragua.
The princess wore a gown designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos when she tied the knot with Brooksbank, a marketing executive, at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in October 2018. Demi Moore, Ricky Martin, James Blunt, Cara Delevingne and her sister Poppy Delevingne were among the many famous faces in attendance to see the royal couple exchange wedding vows.
Brooksbank and Eugenie subsequently started a family in 2021 with the birth of their son Augie, followed by Ernest two years later. The princess marked the couple’s sixth wedding anniversary in October 2024 by sharing lovely family photos.
